Rhode Islanders support climate change and demand action. Our neighboring states are set up to flourish in the transition to a low carbon economy. We will not be left behind!

The @CityofProv and its constituents have made it clear that addressing the climate crisis is a priority, but we cannot act alone.

@eniedowski @plaverty24 Erika and I met through our work on energy and climate. Her brilliant mind combined with her infectious laugh and sense of humor made any time in her orbit a huge pleasure. I loved being with her. My heart breaks for her family and loved ones.

@LawrencePurtill Way to go! Congratulations!!

@johnathanberard @JedThorp @ecoRI_Tim @ecoRInews I think closing the thick bag loop hole is huge. NY's bill allows jurisdictions to choose to impose a fee if they want to. And https://t.co/b3zKX1hMun says that Boston, Chicago, LA, San Francisco and Seattle do not have a fee. Maybe this is out of date.
