"With
Governor Corzine’s Executive Order
mandating reductions in global warming
pollution back to 1990 levels by 2020
and 80 percent below current levels by
2050, we must address New Jersey’s
major sources of global warming
pollution," said Carlos Rymer,
coordinator of the New Jersey Climate
March.
"Transportation
is the biggest source of global warming
pollution in the state, accounting for
52 percent of total emissions.

"With the new Supreme Court
rulings, New Jersey legislators should move quickly to pass legislation that
will adopt California’s proposed vehicle emission standards,” he said.
The new EPA move on vehicle
emission standards comes in when the New Jersey Climate March, a state-wide
effort to demand strong state action to cut global warming pollution to 1990
levels by 2020 and 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050, is gaining strong
momentum.
The
Climate March will take place from April
13 to April 16, beginning at Rutgers-New Brunswick with a kickoff rally
featuring Assemblywoman Linda Stender, the prime assembly sponsor of the Global
Warming Response Act, ground-breaking legislation that would bring New Jersey’s
global warming pollution to 1990 levels by 2020.
The
Climate March will end in front of the State House in Trenton with a large
rally that will feature legislators who are in support of the Global Warming
Response Act and statewide leaders of major environmental organizations.
The March will also feature large
rallies at Princeton University and The College of New Jersey before ending at
Trenton.
Hundreds of people are expected to
fill the streets as they march down to Trenton in support of bold legislation to
fight this planetary crisis. To join the march, visit
