Thank you @ChrisMurphyCT @SenBlumenthal for standing up for #LWCF! Nutmeggers need more access to open space and outdoor recreation opportunities. In the Conte Refuge alone, there are many projects with unmet needs that would conserve an additional 3,500 acres in CT!

Thanks to conservation champ @SenBlumenthal for cosponsorig the Roadless Area Conservation Act. It’s time to protect our roadless forests for generations to come. #ProtectTheTongass #PassRACA #ClimateForests

"What happens in the Arctic impacts us all — even in the Northeast. The Arctic is warming four times faster than the rest of the world. If we allow drilling to happen in the refuge, entire coastal villages will continue to erode into the sea" https://t.co/9jVtq8sSa7

We ask @Travelers & @TheHartford to act now. Tell the youth that you will not contribute to the destruction of their future. Tell the Gwich'in youth of today that you will protect their tomorrow. #ProtectTheArctic https://t.co/L8UZgiK5B4

Why is the Arctic Refuge important? Over 45 species of animals live and reproduce within the 19.5-million-acre region (around the size of South Carolina), including caribou. #ProtectTheArctic #StandWithTheGwichin

Maine committed to #Go100Percent in 2019. Two years later, it's exciting that Rhode Island passed legislation for 100% renewable energy by 2033. That’s a bold commitment - way to go, Rhode Island!

[Environment Connecticut @EnvironmentCT]

Rhode Island is the latest state to pass legislation committing to #Go100Percent renewable - and it's the fastest timeline of any commitment to date!

Bee-killing pesticides poison baby bees' brains and impair a bee's ability to find its way home. Amazon can make a huge difference for bees by taking these pesticides off its virtual shelves. Tell @Amazon it’s time to #SaveTheBees. https://t.co/5bMHyV9rnT
