Given the importance of environmental issues for our climate and our free-enterprise system at large, it is encouraging to see Backer and his team at ACC’s leading in this arena. Through their youthful energy and persistent dedication to promoting conservative solutions to climate change, they are creating a national and international coalition of free-market environmentalists.
"The potential that this nation holds is infinite. Our fellow citizens will band together to demand climate action. Our innovative minds will develop more technologies to reduce carbon emissions efficiently. And people know that while this nation is imperfect, we must continuously strive to do and be better."
Over the past 20 years, it has become clearer that September 12 is also a day we should never forget. In the immediate aftermath of 9/11, we were united not just in communal compassion but a shared understanding of what our nation stands for and why we were attacked.
"While we cannot stop at natural climate solutions and must continue building a consensus for clean energy and other solutions, the beauty of nature-based solutions is that they serve many purposes to many stakeholders and can be enacted right now."

The value of their work cannot be overstated. By rescuing these women from violent predators and restoring their property rights, Redeem literally saves their lives and changes the trajectory of their family’s future forever.
Plastic bottle use is inevitable. It’s unlikely that even the most committed environmentalist will be able to go through their life without drinking from a plastic bottle at some point. But, while the use of plastic bottles is inevitable, bottles ending up in a landfill is not.
"Bipartisan climate change legislation in the 117th Congress is possible. Finding common ground requires lots of listening and learning on both sides, but it can happen. In rooms full of unlikely allies, it already is."
"'We live on this beautiful planet. You can't imagine how thin the atmosphere is when you see it from space. We live in it, and it looks so big. It feels like this atmosphere is huge and we can disregard it and treat it poorly. When you get up there and you see it, you see how tiny it is and how fragile it is.'"
