We love our #NationalParks. @IndianaDunes is among the top 10 most visited parks in the country. @SenToddYoung, @SenatorBanks and @GovBraun time to step up and call for some common sense to protect the Dunes.

The future of Chicagoland's #transit is on the line.
Will we invest in cleaner, faster, better transit—or let cuts fuel gridlock & pollution?

"My little theory about why they decided to have the convention in Chicago, is, Tim Walz has been going around saying that he served in war, and maybe they did it in Chicago so that he could actually accurately say that he visited a combat zone"

More EV-ready charging at home is vital step to boost car sales in IL. A new state law mandates new homes be equipped with EV-capable parking. Will home chargers become an essential amenity for homebuyers? @ELPCenter chicagotribune.com/2024/08/1… @elpcenter #electricvehicles

Listen up lawmakers: Just because cars have always ruled the road doesn't mean we can't adapt to the new reality that people are demanding alternative ways to move around Chicago. Let's be a forward-looking city! @ELPCenter @activetrans @ChicagosMayor @ChicagoDOT @IDOT_Illinois

In "a Jane Jacobs moment," the Save Our Lakefront Rally drew a huge crowd to the IDOT/CDOT Redefine the Drive open house, demanding a walk/bike/transit-friendly layout, not an 8-lane highway, on Chicago's shoreline.

In 1985, Carl Sagan told Congress that continuing to burn fossil fuels will increase global temperature, cause climate change, melt glaciers and ice sheets, and cause sea level rise. Imagine if we had listened to him them.
No time to wait. #ActOnClimate

As ELPC's @LenaGReynolds notes, climate impact is 93% lower, and having e-bikes replace gas-powered vehicles for shorter trips bodes well for #AirQuality.
"That's a lot of gas they're not burning."
