Dear John,
On Saturday, the 53rd annual Earth Day will be observed around the country and around the world. A little closer to home, I look forward to celebrating with local officials and volunteers this weekend at organized clean-up efforts around the district.
As your Congressman, I'm committed to promoting Earth Day every day by supporting enhanced energy options that are both clean and affordable. That’s why I voted for the Inflation Reduction Act, which includes historic climate legislation that cuts energy costs for hardworking area families while making enormous strides to protect the environment for future generations.
Northeastern Pennsylvanians are now eligible for hundreds of dollars a year in direct savings to make energy efficient improvements to your home and for the purchase of electric and hybrid cars.
