Dear
Kirsten Teller,
In the 1930s, the Empire State Building was proof of what a
combination of innovation and hard work could accomplish in a
race to build the tallest skyscraper in the world.
Today, President Clinton joined New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg
to announce that the Empire State Building is joining the race
against climate change. The building will undergo an
energy-saving retrofit to improve building efficiency, reduce
its carbon footprint, and save on utility costs.
With your financial support, the Clinton Climate
Initiative (CCI) can continue to bring together experts,
building owners, energy service companies, and financial
institutions to get more projects like this up and running in
more cities worldwide.
Buildings contribute up to 80% of greenhouse gas emissions in
some cities. As of March 2009, CCI and its partners have
helped building owners evaluate hundreds of opportunities for
building retrofit projects in dozens of cities worldwide.
CCI serves as the action arm of the C40, an organization of
cities around the world that are working to reduce their carbon
emissions. In addition to building retrofits, CCI applies this
same macro-level approach to address other major sources of
greenhouse gases, and the people, policies, and practices that
impact them.
To learn more about the Empire State Building retrofit
project, please watch the video.
Sincerely,
Bruce R. Lindsey
Chief Executive Officer
William J. Clinton Foundation
P.S. Do let your friends know about the Empire State
Building retrofit by forwarding this note and encouraging them
to donate!
