Did you know? If people under 40 voted at the same rate as people over 65, Congress would look a LOT different! In 2022, just 35% of people under 40 voted vs 72% of older voters. 🗳️
Let’s change that! Your vote matters. Elections matter. #Vote2024

Rennie makes a good point in today's column: “None of this addresses the primary source of emissions: transportation. Without plentiful…electricity generated at reasonable cost, rational CT residents will not make the transition that matters: to electric vehicles.”

#Invasive plants hurt the CT ecosystem in many ways.
There are new ones on the list and a fine for having them. (Gift link) buff.ly/3XaHUj0

Why didn't @CT include climate action innovation to the Innovation Clusters initiative? B/c it's not impt to state gov?
This program is only for "physical spaces" for next gen technologies. Where?
No razing forests and fields for a construction boondoggle.bit.ly/3wSLbcf

Human activities, principally through emissions of greenhouse gases, have unequivocally caused #globalwarming, with global surface temperature reaching 1.1°C above 1850–1900 in 2011–2020.

The world's largest single-site solar farm is officially live.
The Al Dhafra solar farm contains almost 4 million solar panels. It's expected to power 200,000 homes and eliminate more than 2.4 million tonnes of CO2 per year.
We have the solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate

Where have all the trees gone?🌳❌
This street, like many others in the UK is suffering from the side-effects of off-street parkingđźš—. There is almost nowhere a tree can now be planted.
The impacts are many: a loss of visual amenity, no shade, suffers worse in heavy rain, negative impact on wellbeing, loss of natural habitat, cars drive faster, more anti-social behaviour and lower house prices. We could go on...
We need a rethink.
ALT A street dominated by off-street parking. No space for trees.

We should all be furious that as a year of climate fueled event wreaks havok on our planet more isn't being done to stem the tide.
Record heatwaves, record floods, record droughts, and record wildfires. How many more records before we #ActOnClimate?
