Right now, @cclusa.org has two Action Alerts on its web: One on protecting NOAA, and one on defending the clean energy provisions of the IRA. citizensclimatelobby.org/get-l

Action Alerts allow you to quickly email your members of Congress on key issues. Just a few clicks (including your contact info & address, to ensure your email goes to your reps). You can choose to opt in to getting future #CCL Action Alerts.

I submitted feedback to HB 6229, a CT bill that would reduce the use of single-use plastics.

The process took about 5 minutes. Mu feedback will be incorporated into a hearing where public testimony on the bill is received.

Thanks to the #CCL for people know about actions like this. I feel like I made a small difference today.

There's 2 fundamental ways to get things changed

1) work in the system to update it
2) make a new system

The US is still operating under mode 1 - the system may be changing rapidly, but that doesn't mean it's an entirely new system.

A computer analogy - we've gone from Windows 7 to 10 to 11 in a short time, not from Windows 7 to Ubuntu). If you feel like you're lost in "Windows 11", try to take some training! Apply for a job at "Microsoft"!

If you have worries about the climate, but not sure how you can help - become a lobbyist like me. Citizens' Climate Lobby has training on how to: write to politicians, write op-eds, talk to people at tabling events, and more. #CCL

Tagging onto @andyw350 's toot:

I joined @citizensclimate in March. So far, I've lobbied 2 State legislators & 3 Congresspersons; attended the National Conf in D.C. & now the Regional Conference. Good organization, actively working on #ClimateAction & #ClimatePolicy. Great org to volunteer, led by highly competent staff.

If you're looking for an organization to move the needle on clean energy & climate, #CCL is a good one. They welcome all. Great to see four students at our meeting as well
