The Heights, a Habitat for Humanity multi-family housing project in St. Paul, will provide heating and cooling to its residents sans fossil fuels, in no small part thanks to St. Paul 350's (@350_st) tireless organizing #PassOnGas

Political violence is wrong. It endangers our fundamental rights, principles, and liberties as a plural and democratic society.

Elections should consistently be grounded in peaceful, free and diverse discourse without fear of retaliation.

Hey everyone! This is Paige. I'm taking on the social media accounts. If you find anything neat that is relevant to climate action please let me know!

CO is Rethinking its freeways: “The rule will require the state Department of Transportation and the state’s five metropolitan planning organizations to measure the climate impact of planned projects and offset them if they exceed a given amount.”

Xcel Energy executives and lobbyists spent thousands on the re-election of Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, who chairs the board that's supposed to keep Xcel in line with the city's climate goals https://t.co/x3QzWjNVb7

NEWS: NYC will soon ban gas in new buildings!

Final bill language negotiated late last night and final Council vote next week. “Official” #GasFreeNYC campaign statement below

The message is clear: era of fossil fuels is OVER

[Evergreen Action @EvergreenAction]

That feeling when you think about how fossil fuel prices swing wildly while clean energy costs are stable and declining...making clean energy the more reliable, affordable option.

[Our Streets @ourstreetsmn]

After previously postponing all Rethinking I-94 Policy Advisory Committee (PAC) meetings until 2022, @MnDOT abruptly announced a PAC meeting for this Friday, Dec. 10. No reason or advanced notice was provided. This is a clear attempt to suppress public participation. (Thread)

[New York Focus @nysfocus]

A proposed gas ban in NYC has an unlikely supporter: @ConEdison, a top supplier of natural gas to the city.

"Combined gas and electric utilities have been realizing that electrification is an opportunity,” said @leahstokes.

Way to go Eugene! Electrifying our homes reduces fossil fuel pollution that harms our families and our climate.

[Jeff Mapes @Jeffmapes]

A big move away from natural gas: Eugene City Council votes to move toward all-electric homes. Sierra Club says this is a first for the state:

Great thread on how transitioning to clean, renewable energy will protect customers from the kind of spikes we're seeing in gas prices right now.

[Evergreen Action @EvergreenAction]

The Build Back Better Act would save energy consumers billions on their utility bills. By driving the transition to clean, stable energy, it would also protect American families from unstable oil and gas markets.

A quick thread on how that'll work 🧵⬇️ (1/7)

Rethinking I-94 is a huge opportunity to improve our community well-being by reducing freeway noise & pollution and increasing transit and connections. Join the online conversation happening tonight and tomorrow (translations available).

[Move Minnesota @MoveMinnesota]

THREAD: Move Minnesota and local partners are pushing for a focus on community wellbeing, #climate action & #transit access as MnDOT rethinks the I-94 corridor between #Minneapolis & #SaintPaul—and we need your help this week. #RethinkingI94

[St. Paul 350 @350_st]

Cooperative ownership can make renewable energy affordable and accessible to all our neighbors. #EnergyDemocracy https://t.co/bJSoDtGAwr

Instead of waiting for their utility to provide clean energy the city of Ann Arbor is forming their own sustainable energy utility (SEU)—a community-based electric company whose mission is to generate renewable power and to conserve energy. https://t.co/aDeTkIGran

.@sciencemuseummn’s provider of chilled and hot water, @energystpaul, now provides carbon-neutral cooling, slashing our carbon emissions by 38%. Our emissions down 80% from 12.3 million lb/year in 2013.

Great idea!

[Brent Toderian @BrentToderian]

BREAKING: Yet ANOTHER city has announced a new “car-free zone” across their city centre. Glasgow, Scotland will restrict motor vehicles except public transport over 5 years as part of a strategy to "give public spaces back to the people.”

So who’s next? https://t.co/TmEXoTKldW

[St. Paul 350 @350_st]

Highway spending must be directed toward reducing vehicle miles traveled rather than more adding lanes. https://t.co/GE1BFgAOWD

[St. Paul 350 @350_st]

Unless our highway systems are fundamentally reimagined, they will remain one of the most significant sources of fossil fuel pollution, and continue to harm BIPOC communities disproportionately.

[Alex Burns @AlexT_Burns]

A reminder that the bipartisan infrastructure bill is little more than a glorified highway funding bill. 70% will go to our state's biggest polluter. Here's a visual using the Minnesota estimates from this Axios Twin Cities article: https://t.co/jrUHyeQoME

[St. Paul 350 @350_st]

These requested increases are in addition to the extra we're already paying to cover the spike in natural gas prices from the freeze in Texas this February. https://t.co/e8f6HLQhMP
