Our friends at Vermont Conservation Voters will be hosting three climate & environment community discussions next week! Join legislators in Barre, Wallingford, and Castleton to learn about crucial environmental legislation and get your questions answered.

'The past year saw an abundance of extreme highs and lows, totals and natural disasters indicating climate change is impacting not only the treasured landscape but also the economy and well-being of Vermonters.'

We can’t believe how quickly our time with María has gone! Her four-week fellowship through the Young Leaders of Americas Initiative (YLAI) has ended and she’s now back home in Venezuela. We miss her already and look forward to continuing our work together virtually!

Our J-Team took on the Javits Center in NYC this past weekend for the 55th Climate Reality leadership training - complete with insightful panels & workshops, networking with climate enthusiasts, and hearing from former VP Al Gore! #LeadWithClimateReality #KeepVermontCool

The #KeepVermontCool campaign is teaming up with the Burton EPIC Committee for a climate action film screening event! Drop into Burton HQ on Friday, March 1st from 4 - 7 p.m. for a special screening of 300 Miles Melting. Free admission! RSVP: keepvermontcool.org/filmscreening

'As communities attempted to recover from the havoc, legislators in these states, and several others, asked themselves why taxpayers should have to cover the cost of rebuilding after climate disasters when the fossil fuel industry is at fault.'

Congrats to the Vermont Vermont Youth Lobby for hosting another successful Lobby Day at the State House! Last Friday, 49 students from Essex, Hanover, Harwood, Northfield, Norwich, and Woodstock had an action-packed day to show their support for climate action.

Great thanks to 350Vermont, Keep Vermont Cool, Vermont Natural Resources Council, Vt Sierra Club and everyone else who made for a great #climatechange rally in Montpelier yesterday — for solar, wind, weatherization and geothermal. #vtpoli

Solar is a great way to save $$, save the climate, & build our economy.

Come check out the awesome arrays at the Riley Rink & a former gravel pit in Manchester on Tuesday!

We'll be joined by climate champion Rep MikeRiceVT & the Keep Vermont Cool team! keepvermontcool.org/MHGsolar

You know that #solar is a #climate saver. Did you know it's also a great reason for working Vermonters to stay in VT?

Join us in Hartford next Thurs for our 2nd #greenjobs showcase w our friends Keep Vermont Cool & Norwich Solar to learn about all the benefits of VT renewables!

Some people/companies will invest in solar canopies because they want to do the right thing. We recently toured the gorgeous canopy at Lawson's Finest with our friends from Keep Vermont Cool.

But many don't have the means and we don't have any policies that incentivize it.

Looking for a dose of #climate #optimism ?

Join us in Randolph next Weds to meet the awesome folks at Catamount Solar as part of the Keep Vermont Cool Green Jobs Showcase!

Catamount is employee-owned and knows a thing or two about #job creation.

We'll be there

Thanks to all our legislators who took time to educate us on what’s been happening in the statehouse and pathways to advance climate action.

Feeling hopeful about the prospects of equitable climate action in the heating and transportation sector this legislative session.

Join us this Friday from 4 - 7 p.m. at Burton HQ! RSVP: keepvermontcool.org/filmscreening 🏂

Part of our climate strategy should include improving bus frequency and service hours in densely populated areas, so we can enable more families to living with one car with no sacrifices.
