We’re paying just $45 per person toward climate and the environment while the rest of the world is putting in $262, and that’s why we’re stuck at the bottom for 83% of our peers—this is a national disgrace when we could and should be matching $240 per person like everyone else is doing. The government acts like pocket change for the planet is enough, but the facts scream otherwise: our peers aren’t nickel-and-diming the future, they’re investing, and so should we.
