Media: Local TV covers CCL event
CCL volunteers in Maine were featured in a local TV news segment when
their member of Congress spoke at their event. "Rep. Chellie Pingree
talked brews and climate change in Portland tonight, as part of the
Citizens' Climate Lobby's celebration of greener solutions for the
planet," the journalist explains.
"We are very excited because Rep. Pingree is the first of our lawmakers
to sponsor the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act," one volunteer
says. Watch the segment here
