Advocacy Highlights from PA Interfaith Power & Light

posted in: Environment, Uncategorized | 0

From Pennsylvania Interfaith Power and Light (http://www.paipl.org):

The sustained advocacy call summary leads with action items, and always includes discussion hooks, positive news, and a meditation. We hope the discussion for policy conversations with legislators, Letters to the Editor, or conversations with neighbors, friends, and family. Each of those conversations is important to moving us forward.

In an attempt to streamline our technological work-arounds, we are providing a link to the full, formatted call summary, beginning with action items, and ending with upcoming events and the meditation, rather than sinking time into this reluctant web program to do it well.  We’re hoping this will help us get the news out faster.  Please let us know how this works for you.

Two quick highlights:

  • This month’s discussion hooks are a link between diabetes and tailpipe pollution, just in time for the Clean Cars rollback hearing, which has been scheduled for Pittsburgh at the end of September, and on Food, International Trade, and Climate Change.
  • You’ll find a first glance at the proposed replacement for the Clean Power Plan, which includes the EPA’s own estimate that the replacement would cause 1400 more deaths per year by the year 2030.  We’re not OK with that. (Click the Federal) link to jump right to that section.
