September 21, 2009 - 11:34am

The British Embassy recently asked New America Foundation Climate Policy Director Terry Tamminen to take part in their 100 Voices in 100 Days dialogue on climate policy.  In this short video, Terry discusses both his personal efforts and that of states across the country, dedicated to fighting climate change. He also highlights the ability of new technology to both reduce the carbon footprint and stimulate the economy.

In the 100 days before international climate change negotiations open in Copenhagen, the British Embassy in Washington DC will highlight the voices of 100 people who feel action must be taken to prevent dangerous climate change and put the world on a path to a low-carbon future. Each day for 100 days until the conference starts, they are showcasing one person or organisation's thoughts on how the world can successfully deal with climate change - in 100 seconds of video.
