Boston-based nonprofit Climate XChange has been hard at work for months trying to pass carbon pricing bills S.1821 and H.1726. If passed, the bills would put a fee on fossil fuels as they enter the state, then rebate some or all of the revenue back to households and businesses. The bills intend to stimulate the economy while reducing carbon emissions. In an effort to raise funds, Climate XChange has been selling raffle tickets. The grand prize? A Tesla and a stay at the relaxing, luxurious Great Pines Resort.
The small nonprofit has already sold nearly 2,000 tickets, but still has tickets left to sell. With only twelve days left until the drawing, it’s only a matter of time before one lucky carbon pricing supporter ends up napping in the Adirondacks with their brand new Tesla Model S or Model X charging outside the cabin. Others will walk away with five other prizes as well, including cash and Tesla Model 3 reservations.
“My son encouraged me to check out a Tesla a few years ago. I had to ask him, ‘What’s a Tesla?’ He told me it’s a better car than my old Prius,” says Al Nierenberg, the winner of Climate XChange’s 2015 Tesla raffle. “I thought about the Tesla when I bought my ticket, but I didn’t think I would win – I really bought it to help put a price on carbon. You’ll never know your luck if you don’t buy a ticket.”
Since 2013, Climate XChange has been working with the Campaign for a Clean Energy Future to pass a price on carbon pollution in Massachusetts. This legislative session, the bills have gathered 80 co-sponsors – more than one-third of the legislature.
Earlier this month, 200 supporters attended 50 meetings with legislators during the campaign’s Carbon Pricing Lobby Day. One week later, nearly 500 advocates showed up at the Telecommunications, Utilities, and Energy Committee hearing for the two carbon pricing bills, and 60 of those testified directly to the committee. The lineup of testifiers supporting the bills included legislators, health professionals, students, scientists, economists, farmers, business leaders, and faith communities.
“Getting everyone on board with the bills initially seemed a tremendous task,” said Michael Green, Executive Director of Climate XChange. “It’s been rewarding to see our hard work elicit such strong support in such a short amount of time. When we tell people about a simple, cost-effective, efficient mechanism for tackling climate change, they want to know more and they want to support it.”
To celebrate this success, Climate XChange is working during these last few weeks of the raffle to sell tickets (you can buy one here!) and plan a 4th of July Tesla Raffle Bash. To be held on the front lawn of Boston’s historic Old West Church, the evening will buzz while attendees enjoy a live jazz trio, play cornhole, eat burgers hot off the grill, and ticket holders anticipate the drawing. The event is free and open to the public – you can RSVP here.
Climate XChange is an educational and research organization dedicated to providing policymakers and advocates with cutting edge information on market-based solutions to climate change.
