Be Our Hero - Climate Lobby Workshop

On December 6th 2019 the Arlington Green Teams organized #BeOurHero Intergenerational Climate Lobby Workshop with our lawmakers: Representative Garballey and the staff of Representative Rogers and Senator Friedman.  We learned everyone has a role to play in instituting bold, comprehensive climate legislation to address the climate crisis. 
After discussing the climate legislation priorities of Mass Power Forward, a coalition of 200 environmental organizations in the state of Massachusetts, we hit the streets and joined the Boston Climate Strike for the International Youth-Led Climate Strikes that day. Small But Mighty Kids Change The World!

Mass Power Forward Legislative Priorities:
Environmental Justice - Include communities impacted by climate change and fossil fuel pollution as participants in crafting new, equitable policy

 

100% Renewable Energy - Set an ambitious goal to equitably reach 100% renewable electricity by 2035 and 100% renewable energy for heating and transportation by 2045

 

Equitable Investment in Green Infrastructure - Use mechanisms such as equitable carbon pricing or the transportation climate initiative to invest today to create the future we want
