I applaud President Biden for reinstating protections for the Northeast Canyons & Seamounts Marine National Monument. Today’s proclamation is an essential step toward ensuring this environmental treasure continues to flourish for generations to come. theday.com/local-news/202110…

Four years of harmful actions by the Trump Admin have cost us precious time in tackling the climate crisis. I applaud President Biden for recognizing that the US must rise to meet this challenge for the sake of future generations & lead by example. nytimes.com/2021/01/20/clima…

BREAKING: With the president’s signature, the #GreatAmericanOutdoorsAct is now law. Fully funding the #LWCF is a bipartisan victory for anyone who loves a national park, appreciates wildlife, or enjoys green spaces in our cities. In short, it's a victory for all of us.

Every new home built without #solar panels is a missed opportunity to generate clean, renewable energy that reduces pollution in our communities. That's why we launched our #SolarHomes campaign today in 10 states across the country!
Advocates seek solar on all new houses in ten states: “The most efficient time to install solar panels is when the builders are on the roof in the first place,” said Bronte Payne with Environment America. dlvr.it/RZ9lmP #solarenergy #solarpv #solar
