 A Note from Our Chapter ChairFind out what’s coming up this month in Sierra Club Connecticut! We appreciate our Sierra Club community and love to see you getting involved, so come out and join us at some events. We need your help in order to protect the environment, wildlife, and public health that we value so much! |  This Legislative Session: Now More Than Ever, We Must Take Bold Climate Action!The Trump administration has taken steps to roll back critical environmental protections—pulling out of the Paris Climate Accord and revoking policies aimed at tackling climate change. With federal leadership failing us, Connecticut must step up as a strong, unwavering force in the fight for a livable planet |  Governor Lamont Sets Climate Policy Back With Repeated FailuresWhile running for governor and early on in his administration, Ned Lamont offered some hope that our state would address climate change. Unfortunately that trend did not continue, and Lamont’s decisions are now failing on climate action. Catch up on Governor Lamont’s record and add your voice to urge action on climate |
|---|---|---|
 Capitol Area System DecisionDespite Governor Lamont’s prior executive order calling for all state buildings renovations to achieve zero-carbon emissions, the Connecticut Department of Administrative Services has selected a fossil fuel replacement for the state-owned Capitol Area System in Hartford. Hear what Sierra Club and allies had to say about the decision and add your own voice in! |  Save the Monarchs!With its iconic orange and black markings, the monarch butterfly is one of North America's most recognizable and loved species. Yet the entire population of monarch butterflies is at serious risk of extinction due to habitat destruction from pesticides, irresponsible development, and climate change. Help us protect the Monarchs under the Endangered Species Act! |  Remington Woods DocumentaryRemington Woods, a 422-acre urban forest, is Fairfield County’s last lung—a sanctuary in Bridgeport that stands as a beacon of hope for urban conservation. Together, we’ve worked tirelessly to protect this unique ecosystem. Now, we need your help to take the next big step. |
 Be Kind to the TreesWatch this short, fun, and quirky video on one way we can be kind to the trees and save our forests by promoting toilet paper made from recycled paper. |  On Ice and IcelandOften traveling the world opens our eyes and inspires us to different perspectives and ways of living. The climate crisis can be seen and is addressed all over the world in different ways. Learn more about how Iceland is affected by climate change and what they are doing about it |  Poetry CornerEnjoy these poems from two of our Sierra Club members, Joanne Cafiero and Kathleen Zimmerman. One reflects on the sowing of seeds—both of hope and peas. The other listens to a conversation between desert creatures coming from different perspectives. |
