Climate change is the biggest threat facing birds and people, and we took action to reduce the threat of carbon pollution that is warming our world. 

“I could not be prouder of Audubon Washington and our friends at Carbon Washington. While the results of I-732 are disappointing, Audubon members and supporters all across Washington rose to the occasion and said yes to a cleaner, better future. We’ll get there, and we look forward to continuing the fight for commonsense climate solutions for birds and for people.” - Gail Gatton, executive director of Audubon Washington.
