Sign the Petition:
Tell the Washington Legislature to pass HB 1091, the Clean Fuel Standard, and to Lead On Climate!
The need for clean air and healthier lungs has never been more important. We still have a window of time to address the climate crisis, but we need to take big steps every year.
We know that a Clean Fuel Standard is one of the fastest ways to reduce our transportation pollution and clean up our air.
The Legislature has stepped up before. In 2019, Washington passed the groundbreaking Clean Energy Transformation Act ensuring that our state will have 100% clean power by 2045. In 2020, we set ambitious and necessary greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets. Still, we have yet to address our state’s largest and most problematic source of climate and air pollution: transportation emissions.
Now we need to build on that success. With our state on a pathway to a 100% clean grid, we can now electrify most of our transportation sector—reducing our climate impact and improving air quality. What we can’t electrify, we can transition to other sustainably produced cleaner fuels.
Sign the petition to encourage the Washington Legislature to commit to lead on climate and pass a Clean Fuel Standard in 2021.

Why do we ask you to “sign in pro,” and how do you do it? It’s an easy and fast way to speak up for nature!
Our volunteer Board of Trustees issued a resolution calling on Congress to protect the climate-change mitigation and resiliency provisions in the infrastructure and budget reconciliation packages currently under debate in Washington, DC.
As Congress considers the federal budget reconciliation package, it’s time for corporate America to get on board with game-changing climate provisions to get our country on the right track.
Everyone deserves the opportunity to live a healthy life, no matter where they live, which languages they speak or how much money they have. The HEAL Act is a step in that direction.
The state House of Representatives passed historic climate legislation today.
The Legislature is close to several BIG wins for people and nature — can you help get us across the finish line?
Washington and the world urgently need climate action, and that action must not be taken in a way that exacerbates harm in communities already overburdened by pollution and other impacts of climate change.
Our spirits are high as we pass the halfway point in the 105-day Washington state legislative session. Many top priority policies have made it past the first major policy deadline, known as “House of Origin cutoff,” when bills introduced in the House must be approved by a House floor vote, and likewise in the Senate.
Here’s another way to speak up for cleaner air and clean fuels - sign the petition today!
Racism is a public health crisis. We are proud to stand with the Washington Black Lives Matter Alliance in support of a legislative agenda that moves our state toward justice, equity and liberation.
You can support current efforts in the Washington Legislature to create a designated fire funding source to directly support forest-health treatments, help communities become fire-prepared and increase funding for firefighting equipment and personnel to help fight the large, destructive fires we’ve seen in recent years.
Take comfort knowing your comfort food can help fight climate change.
Why do we keep asking you to “sign in” on bill proposals? If you’ve signed in once, do you need to do it again?
The 2021 session - in Olympia and online - can mean a LOT of progress for people and nature in Washington.
Washington’s Environmental Justice Task Force shared its recommendations with the Governor, the Legislature and the public - charting a course toward a healthier, more equitable future for all communities in Washington.
