Statement from Green 2.0 Founder Robert Raben
on President Obama's Climate Action Plan

"I commend President Obama for his leadership in tackling climate disruption, which hits communities of color and the poor the hardest. Diversifying the leadership ranks of the mainstream environmental movement will move this important goal along much faster.  We will need the ingenuity of all Americans to prevail," said Robert Raben, founder of Green 2.0 and president and founder of The Raben Group.
