Friends of the Earth

“
Mr. Obama has a firm grasp of the climate issue, and no one doubts that he cares about it. But as is often the case with this president, the question is whether he will exhibit a sense of urgency to match his intellectual understanding.

This morning a group of polar bears, nurses and Robin Hoods faced off in a tug-of-war against Wall Street bankers over the half-penny Robin Hood Tax. Friends of the Earth joined National Nurses United, Food & Water Watch, the Institute for Policy Studies and others outside a climate finance meeting to raise awareness for this common sense tax for the public good.

For more info on the Robin Hood Tax and climate finance, check out FOE campaigner Karen Orenstein’s blog post here.
