Fran Teplitz, Green America's director of strategic outreach, and David Levine, executive director of the American Sustainable Business Council, delivered a letter opposing the Keystone XL pipeline to the White House Office of Public Engagement.

Signed by more than 800 businesspeople, including GBN members, the letter called for an end to the pipeline and for investment in the domestic, renewable energy sector.

The letter was delivered in person on November 17, 2011 with a copy provided to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Green America continues to oppose the pipeline, as some of Congress work to advance the pipeline despite the Administration's decision to seek additional study before moving forward.

Geraldine Carter, co-founder of Climate Ride, has been working this fall with Teplitz to oppose the Keystone XL pipeline that would run through part of her state of Montana.

The Administration is seeking further study on the pipeline, but House and Senate Republicans are now trying to force a decision in favor of the project. Read Carter’s op-ed that appeared in the Missoulian, calling for an end to the "KXL" and support for renewable energy development.
