Earth Week 2021 Events
Earth Day 2021 highlights the need to Build Back Better when it comes to environmental issues. When the world returns to normal, we cannot return to our normal ways of operating that pollute the environment and perpetuate environmental injustice. This year, CT RENEWS hosted a virtual lobby day to advocate for major environmental justice bills. On Earth Day, a socially distant gathering will be held at the CT State Capitol to highlight the hard work done towards modernizing the Bottle Bill. Participants are encouraged to bring empty bottles collected in litter clean-ups as visual aids. |

Governor's Council on Climate Change
In September 2019, Governor Lamont issued Executive Order #3 to bring Connecticut to a 100% zero-carbon electric grid by 2040 and reinstate the Governor's Council on Climate Change. Over the past year, the working groups of the GC3 have pulled together reports providing the most effective recommendations to mitigate and adapt to climate change. Now is our opportunity to comment on those reports! |
