Dallas Maids, LLC Joins Over One Thousand Leaders Across the United States Affirming Commitment to Global Climate Action on the Fifth Anniversary of the Paris Agreement

Washington D.C. – December 12^th marks the five-year anniversary of the world signing on to the Paris Agreement. Dallas Maids is marking the moment by committing to a national mobilization. The goal is a clean energy economy and centering their own operations in pursuit of climate action.

In doing so, Dallas Maids joined over a thousand leaders from local governments, businesses, universities, and other institutions across the country as part of the “America Is All In” multi-sector statement. 

The incoming Biden-Harris administration will receive this multi-sector statement, as well as to United Nations officials and global heads of state at the Climate Ambition Summit hosted by the United Kingdom, also on December 12^th.  

“2020 will go down as a crucible. A time when our nation and ourselves were tested. Layered atop of pandemic was heart-wrenching social and racial unrest. There was also growing mental health crises, financial upheaval, and a toxic presidential election. And we will pull through. We will survive. However, there is a more menacing monster looming upon the horizon. A threat to destroy the only home we have; Earth. We must keep it clean because there is no other.” said Greg Shepard.

“This is a moment to foster innovation, increase national security, and protect the health and well-being of present and future generations. In our commitment to addressing the climate crisis, we at Dallas Maids are all in and welcome the opportunity to do our part to achieve these goals and push for bold climate action across the United States and the world. ” 

The “America Is All In” Declaration

We Are Still In is the organizer for the “America Is All In” declaration. It’s a coalition in support for climate action. It is also a pledge to uphold the United States commitments to reduce emissions under the Paris Agreement.

There are over 3,900 organizations and institutions across all sectors of the United States. This means these leaders represent over half of the national population, nearly two-thirds of the economy, and more than half of the country’s emissions.

The United States officially exited the Paris Agreement on November 4^th. However, the incoming Biden-Harris administration has committed to reentering the unprecedented global agreement.  

“December 12^th is more than an anniversary of an agreement. It represents a critical turning point for the future of U.S. and global climate action”. This is according to Elan Strait, Director of US Climate Campaigns at World Wildlife Fund (WWF).

The Current Situation In Our Country

“Nationally, we have stumbled in our leadership on climate action. But We Are Still In shows that there was a commitment to change in the United States that never faltered. Today’s statement from Dallas Maids and hundreds like them across the country sends a clear message: moving forward, we need a unified national response to the climate crisis.”  

To date, so many cities across the United States signed the agreement. This includes St. Louis, Milwaukee, and Washington, DC, Fortune 100 businesses including Intel, HP Inc., and McDonalds, and Commonwealth of Virginia Governor Ralph Northam.  

“There’s never been a more important time for us to come together and accelerate the progress we’ve made to address the climate crisis than now,” said Katie Fallon, Chief Global Impact Officer at McDonald’s.

“At McDonald’s, we believe we have a special obligation to help the nearly 40,000 communities we serve build a more resilient and equitable future. This global pandemic is a needed wake-up call that there is still much work to be done. We can only succeed if we innovate and collaborate together – that is why we are still in.”

Dallas Maids supports staying in Paris Climate Agreement. We are still in!

Dallas Maids’ mission is to provide a clean, healthy home environment for our customers. Our customers entrust us with their most valuable asset (their home!). Therefore, we take this responsibility seriously.

The Earth is home for all of us. It’s the only one we have. Staying in the Paris Climate Agreement is the responsible thing to do. Global warming is not a hoax. It is the conclusion of the vast majority of peer-reviewed scientific points. The few dissenting voices usually have ties to polluting industries.

The Paris Climate Agreement naturally aligns with Dallas Maids’ purpose, which is providing a clean and healthy environment; in our case, for our customers through professional house cleaning. This is why we have joined the governors, mayors, universities and other businesses who, with one voice, say we are still in.

Other companies, investors, mayors and governors wishing to add their name to the statement can do so by registering here.

Open letter to the international community and parties to the Paris Agreement from U.S. state, local, and business leaders:

We, the undersigned mayors, governors, college and university leaders, businesses, and investors are joining forces for the first time to declare that we will continue to support climate action to meet the Paris Agreement. In December 2015 in Paris, world leaders signed the first global commitment to fight climate change. The landmark agreement succeeded where past attempts failed; it allowed each country to set its own emission reduction targets and adopt its own strategies for reaching them.

In addition, nations – inspired by the actions of local and regional governments, along with businesses – came to recognize that fighting climate change brings significant economic and public health benefits.

The Us Status Against Climate Change

The Trump administration’s announcement undermines a key pillar in the fight against climate change. It damages the world’s ability to avoid the most dangerous and costly effects of climate change. Importantly, it is also out of step with what is happening in the United States.

In the U.S., it is local and state governments, along with businesses, that are primarily responsible for the dramatic decrease in greenhouse gas emissions in recent years. Actions by each group will multiply and accelerate in the years ahead, no matter what policies Washington may adopt.

In the absence of leadership from Washington, states, cities, colleges and universities, businesses and investors, representing a sizeable percentage of the U.S. economy will pursue ambitious climate goals. Working together to take forceful action and to ensure that the U.S. remains a global leader in reducing emissions.

It is imperative that the world know that in the U.S., the actors that will provide the leadership necessary to meet our Paris commitment are found in city halls, state capitals, colleges and universities, investors and businesses.

Together, we will remain actively engaged with the international community. As part of the global effort to hold warming to well below 2°C and to accelerate the transition to a clean energy economy that will benefit our security, prosperity, and health.
