John,
Our climate crisis is too big to rely on only one policy or decision. Just last month, the State Supreme Court gave the Legislature a clear message – the state needs additional authority under the Clean Air Act to be able to tackle the climate crisis.
The Clean Air Act Authority bill (HB 2892/SB 6628), introduced by Senator Reuven Carlyle and Representative Joe Fitzgibbon by request of Governor Inslee, responds to the Court decision. This policy makes a commonsense and narrow update to this 1967 law that helps bring it into the 21st Century.
Please contact your Senators NOW and urge them to vote YES on the Clean Air Act Authority bill. [[link removed]]
Communities across Washington are suffering from dirty air and all the health impacts that come with climate pollution. And, one sector of the economy – the sellers and distributors of fossil fuels – accounts for a huge amount of our state’s climate pollution, but is not held accountable to those impacts.
We can change this – Urge your Senators to pass the Clean Air Act Authority bill today! [[link removed]]
HB 2892/SB 6628 would enable the Department of Ecology to regulate greenhouse gas emissions associated with those fossil fuel sellers and distributors, updating our state's ability to tackle climate pollution.
The role of the Legislature is to pass and update laws: Now is the chance to update the Clean Air Act to ensure the state has the authority it needs to address the climate crisis.
Contact your legislator today about the Clean Air Act Authority bill. [[link removed]]
