CPC’s website is helpful because it a lot of information. It has petitions that are being pushed onto government, state’s goals on how much they plan to cut their emissions, and the site also promotes education in climate protection. Another thing that is very helpful is the glossary of terms (i.e. carbon cycle, ethanol blend, and greenhouse gases). The glossary would be very helpful for people who want to know what exactly they will be effecting by living more sustainable lives. There is even a section called “The Big Picture” that breaks down what climate protection is all about.
