To President Obama and all G8 leaders:

As concerned global citizens, we urge you to honour your previous commitments to end taxpayer handouts to the fossil fuel industry, and go a step further by re-directing that money into green climate solutions instead. To save our planet we need a game-changer now -- we call on you to first lead by example, and then make ending all polluter payments the top global priority for the Rio Earth Summit.

World to Obama: It's a big green no-brainer!
In four days, world leaders could agree to a plan that is our best chance yet to save the planet from runaway climate change. But it needs a massive public push to drive it from words to action.

It’s crazy, but right now, our governments give nearly $1 trillion a year of our taxpayer money to big oil and coal to destroy our planet. Key leaders, including President Obama, have already agreed to stop these polluter payments. And this weekend, he is hosting the G8 summit where leaders of the world's biggest economies can finally start moving this plan forward. If we demand governments divert this huge sum into renewable energy now, experts say we could actually stop climate change!

It's a simple no-brainer, but dirty industry has a hold on our politicians which can only be countered by extraordinary people power. Let’s show President Obama that we want him to lead the world's largest economies to get behind this planet saving plan now. Sign the petition on the right and share this with everyone.
