NRDC international program director Susan Casey-Lefkowitz speaks about ending fossil fuel subsidies during a demonstration on Sunday, June 17 on Copacabana Beach, Rio. NRDC, 350.org and Avaas unfurled a giant banner representing $1 trillion - the amount of subsidies that governments give each year to the oil, gas, coal and other industries.
