Finding
New Ways to Create Jobs
The
military industry stays in business because it
creates millions of jobs. But other projects can
do even better. It's time to reinvest our public
monies. |

While
the federal government fails to take meaningful
steps to address climate change, state legislators
across the country are passing innovative bills
to deal with the issue. We urge state legislators
to go even further and encourage their Congressional
delegations to address climate change through
the lens of the military budget.
The
U.S. military contributes to the problem of
climate change more than any other single institution
worldwide. We spend billions of dollars every
year on outmoded weapons systems that do not
make us any safer. That money instead could
fund programs to promote climate security—an
investment that would truly keep us safer.
