Press Release
Statement of EDF Vice President of Corporate Partnerships Gwen Ruta on Verizon Sponsorship of Event Opposing Climate Legislation
Posted: 04-Sep-2009
(Washington -- September 3, 2009) "Environmental Defense Fund is disappointed that Verizon is sponsoring opposition to the American Clean Energy Security Act, landmark legislation that would cap carbon pollution, create new jobs, and reduce America's dependence on foreign oil.
"In our 2009 Innovations Review, EDF recognized a number of companies for specific environmental innovations that are good for the planet. Verizon was recognized for its power management software and its use of energy-efficient "thin client" computers.
"Verizon is currently listed as a sponsor of an upcoming rally against the American Clean Energy and Security Act. By joining with oil companies and other special interests to undermine support for clean energy legislation, Verizon is undermining its own reputation for environmental innovation."
