🚨 VNRC, @CLF, & @JustZeroOrg raise alarm over NEWSVT's Coventry Landfill violations! PFAS treatment without proper permits, bypassing the law and public input. We urge @VermontANR to enforce compliance and ensure transparency. #vtpoli

Today Senate Democrats voted to override the veto of S.5, the Affordable Heat Act! Once enacted, this bill will send Vermont towards creating more affordable and climate-friendly alternatives for Vermonters to heat their homes.

We're thrilled to be partnering with the @VTSierraClub to talk about updating our Renewable Energy Standard! Very timely as the Legislature races to get climate bills completed. #vtpoli #climatecrisis act.sierraclub.org/events/de…

It is time to end the fossil fuel stranglehold on Vermonters' heating needs and to save Vermonters money while reducing carbon emissions. Yes, on S.5, the Affordable Heat Act. #ActOnClimatevt #vtpoli – at Montpelier, VT

Vermont was the first of four states, along with Maine, Hawaii and Alaska to ban billboards.
Driving on I-89 in Vermont is actually beautiful.
You deserve to be able to travel freely without having your vision assaulted by advertisements.
All states should be this way.

Call TODAY and ask your Senators to support S.5 – the Affordable Heat Act. Call the Sergeant at Arms (802-828-2228), ask to leave a message for your Senator, tell them your town, and ask them to support S.5. #vtpoli
Curious about the bill’s specifics? bit.ly/3SHdQHs

S.5 is a sweeping new bill that would transform how the state heats its homes & buildings. Today we talk with a primary sponsor of the bill, the state's top environmental official and a small business owner about what the bill would mean for Vermonters. bit.ly/3KFy8PR

Recently realized oil interests are pushing debate on socials on how electric cars might be worse. The same way they created debate and denial on climate change. The truth on Gasoline versus electric cars? Here’s how their life cycle emissions compare. nationalobserver.com/2023/02…
Vermont Conservation Voters retweeted
It took a small VW Golf just 57 seconds to fill this large bag with emissions. It’s no wonder transportation is the highest carbon emitter in the state! @VNRCorg, @VoteGreenVT, @VTSierraClub & others are advocating for sustainable, equitable transportation systems today. #vtpoli

The Climate Solutions Caucus (@ClimateCaucus), one of the largest caucuses in the Vermont General Assembly, has been working incredibly hard to advance bold, effective climate legislation this session! (1/2)

Yesterday, February 11th, we marched for climate action and justice wearing long sleeves and light jackets. We stuck our banners into a grassy, unfrozen patch at the State House — serving as a firm and urgent reminder that we need to #KeepVermontCool.

$165,000,000,000.
That's how much climate change-fueled extreme weather cost the U.S. in 2022 alone.
Don't want to hear about how we "can't afford" to fight climate change — we can't afford NOT to.
