Earth Bill Webinar on behalf of LWVHP-HWD

Tuesday, May 28, 2024 - 7:00pm

Join us for a webinar on May 28th at 7PM featuring the EARTH BILL, with Todd Fernandez, Executive Director for Climate Crisis Policy & The Earth Bill Network! The Earth Bill, or "The Earth Act to Stop Climate Pollution by 2030" (H.R. 598), is a visionary, science-based law to mandate an end to harmful emissions at the source - at the industry level - on the timeline required to meet the climate emergency.

The Earth Bill works by requiring utility companies and publicly-traded agriculture corporations to change to clean and healthy inputs in making our electricity (with solar, wind, geothermal, tidal, and wave) and food (with farming practices like no-till, cover crops, and no chemical fertilizers or pesticides). Think of it as we the people telling the government to get electric companies on 100% RENEWABLES. That order starts with the people - with us - because time has run out. We have to start fast and succeed by 2030 because our additional pollution this decade will take the planet beyond the 1.5°C into tipping point scenarios that will destabilize the entire planet. This major legislation is a rallying cry to build public power and galvanize congressional action. See you on May 28th!
