 A Note From Our Chapter ChairWe hope you were able to enjoy, explore, or protect the environment this summer and we hope to be able to hear some of your stories! Enjoy two poems from our chapter chair, inspired by her time with the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance this summer. |  Don’t Be Tricked - The Real Treat Is Holding Fossil Fuel Polluters AccountableThis Halloween season, there’s nothing scarier than the truth: fossil fuel polluters are fueling the climate crisis, but Connecticut taxpayers are the ones footing the bill. From floods to extreme heat to crop losses, climate disasters are hitting our communities harder each year and the costs are piling up. |  Keep Kids Outdoors: Support the Every Kid Outdoors Reauthorization ActThe Every Kid Outdoors program offers every fourth grader and their family free entry to national parks, forests, refuges, and public lands. This program breaks down financial barriers and ensures all children can enjoy the benefits of time outside. Join us in urging Congress to make this program permanent! |

 Addressing Poor Air Quality in Connecticut with Zero-Carbon Heating and CoolingAs our state ranks so poorly for air quality, it is important that we look for ways to cut out the sources responsible for this pollution that is detrimentally affecting our health and climate. Catch up on how our chapter is working toward zero-emission solutions to eliminate air pollution in our state. |  Welcome to Our All Electric HouseEver dreamed of having a home powered and heated with renewable energy? Though it may seem like a daunting task at first, you can transition your home to clean energy. Be inspired and hear from one of our members on how their house became net-zero! |  Defending and Celebrating Clean Energy, Fighting Against Gas ExpansionOur climate work is focused on two major themes. One is stopping expansion of fossil fuel infrastructure like gas pipelines, gas power plants. The other is advocating for clean energy like wind, solar, heat pumps, electric vehicles, and more. Our work in both these areas was in high gear in September. |
