        <div id="parent-fieldname-text" class="plain">
            
<p>In an effort to broaden support for sweeping climate
legislation, environmentalists are forming atypical alliances with other
progressive social organizations.</p>
<p>
Groups such as the Association of Community Organizations
for Reform Now (ACORN), MoveOn, and the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) are part of a growing coalition of social
welfare, labor, religious, and healthcare organizations joining forces with the traditional environmental
lobby.</p>
<p>
Major environmental groups say a nationwide grassroots
effort is necessary to raise support for binding federal legislation to address
climate change, especially during an economic recession when leaders are
concerned that such reforms may adversely affect manufacturing industries and
energy costs.</p>
<p>
Climate legislation took a major step forward late last
month when leaders of a House of Representatives energy committee convinced
several moderate legislators to support the <a href="http://energycommerce.house.gov/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=1635:committee-releases-updated-summary-of-american-clean-energy-and-security-act&amp;catid=122:media-advisories&amp;Itemid=55">"American
Clean Energy and Security Act."</a> The bill promises to reduce U.S. carbon
emissions 17 percent by 2020 and 83 percent by 2050, compared to 2005 levels,
through a national cap-and-trade system.</p>
