Clean Yield will close its offices from 11:30am to 2:30pm on Friday, September 20^th to support the Global Climate Strike and encourage its employees to participate in related events. Our company has long worked toward climate solutions, but we recognize that in the face of the climate emergency, it is not enough. We believe we must step up our commitments and act in ways that match the urgent challenge we face.
We encourage you to participate in the Global Climate Strike where you live or work. You can find out more at https://globalclimatestrike.net/.
Clean Yield has also signed on to the following Joint Business Statement Supporting the Global Climate Strike.
The climate crisis is an existential threat to people and the planet, with the most vulnerable populations being hit first and hardest. Our actions in the next 18 months will be critical to determining the future of our planet. We must drastically change the way we make, grow, and build things. We must change the way we travel, live, eat, and power our communities. We must change the way we do business.
It’s time for an end to the age of fossil fuels.
As business leaders, we are committed to being accountable for, and reducing our impact on the planet. But we know that’s not enough. We stand with the youth climate movement in demanding urgent action on climate change.
The global youth climate movement is sounding the alarm on the climate crisis. For the past year students around the world have organized school strikes demanding bold action on climate. This September they are calling on all of us to join them. As businesses committed to sustainability and climate action, we are answering that call by joining and amplifying the #ClimateStrike.
