January 10, 2023
Join Steve Lewis, Greater Hartford Sierra Club Chair and statewide Sierra Club Legislative Committee member, as he outlines the anticipated significant energy and environmental legislation for the 2023 CT General Assembly session. Major issues will include clean energy and climate change priorities surrounding housing, transportation and increasing clean energy across the state. With the spike in home heating and electricity costs this winter, there will be considerable focus on environmental justice and energy burden. Also, there will be renewed efforts around reducing waste and increasing recycling with extended producer responsibility for packaging. Other key topics will relate to toxic chemicals and legislation to protect wildlife. Come learn more and find out how you can become involved and advocate for needed solutions.
