*[Enwl-eng] The $800 billion U.S. military emits more CO2 than many nations

[enwl]

                        The military is poisoning the planet, and absorbing 
copious funding.










                        Solve the Climate Crisis Using the U.S. Military's 
$800 Billion Government Funding!

                        The U.S. military is the largest on the whole 
planet, and other countries' military sizes don't even come close. Receiving 
a whopping $800 billion every year in government funding, the U.S. military 
alone emits more greenhouse gasses than the majority of entire nations.



                        In fact, the Department of Defense consumes almost 
80% of fuel used by the entire U.S. government. One report even found that 
the military has emitted more than 1.2 billion metric tons of greenhouse 
gases since the beginning of the War on Terror in 2001.



                        A single Humvee vehicle provides somewhere between 
4-8 miles of transit per gallon of fuel used. An F-35 fighter jet is even 
worse, requiring 2.37 gallons per each mile.



                        The Department of Defense has literally never passed 
a single government financial audit. So why do we keep trusting it with so 
much money? Those funds could be better used elsewhere, such as on programs 
to fight climate change.



                        The clock is ticking on decarbonizing the planet and 
solving the ecological crisis we created before it is too late.



                        It is time for Congress to stop wasting money, and 
to stop contributing to so much climate chaos. It must reduce the military 
budget, and fund programs and research that will help solve the climate 
crisis instead! Sign the petition now if you agree!





                 Thank you,

                        Miranda

                        P.S. Just this year, the Navy leaked 20,000 gallons 
of fuel into a well in Hawaii, devastating a key water source for nearby 
families. Sign the petition.
