Happy Earth Day!

Climate Action Week may be ending, but our work continues, especially for the next generation.

That’s why we’re celebrating the future through our Student Climate Poster Contest
Young people across Connecticut are sharing their vision for a more sustainable, resilient world and inspiring all of us to keep going.

Together, we are building a future where every community can thrive.

Let’s keep the momentum going, because climate action is a shared responsibility.

Did you know that transportation is the biggest source of Connecticut’s emissions? Diesel vehicles like buses emit a disproportionate share of smog-forming pollutants, impacting air quality and our climate. Take action today and ask your legislators to oppose a bill rolling back our state’s clean transportation commitments! https://savethesound.quorum.us/campaign/159561/

Climate change doesn’t just mean hotter summers, it also means more unpredictable winters and more extreme weather.

For many Connecticut residents, rising energy costs make it harder to stay safe and warm. Climate action includes making energy more affordable and accessible for all.

From our shoreline to inland towns, flooding is impacting more Connecticut communities.

Stronger storms and rising sea levels mean we must act now to strengthen infrastructure and protect our neighborhoods.

Climate action is about building tomorrow’s resilience today.

Climate change doesn’t impact everyone equally.

Communities already facing barriers are often hit hardest by extreme heat, flooding, and rising energy costs. That’s why climate action must center equity, inclusion, and community voices.

A stronger Connecticut means no one is left behind.
