Karl Danz has been a volunteer with Citizens' Climate Lobby since August 2013, and is a co-leader of the local chapter which meets monthly in Mountain View. He learned about the threats associated with greenhouse gas emissions in college many years ago and has been involved with various efforts and organizations addressing this issue. Nothing seemed to offer a solution at sufficient scale until he encountered CCL. Karl joined 1000 other volunteer lobbyists who went to Washington, DC last June to meet with members of Congress and push for national legislation to put a price on carbon--he has made five such lobbying trip to the nation's capital. |
