How to bring Climate Advocacy to the County Commissioners
The legislative session has ended, and while it was a mixed bag for climate-friendly bills, like every year, there are still plenty of opportunities to put pressure on elected officials.
One of the most surprisingly easy ways to start is with the County Commissioners, and we hope the guide below will clear any confusion about accessing their weekly, public meetings.
2023 Legislative Session Recap

In a Pew Center study surveying over 10,000 Americans 74% of believers affirm the earth is sacred, and 80% agree “God gave humans a duty to protect and care for the Earth.” But “highly religious Americans are far less likely than other U.S. adults to express concern about warming temperatures around the globe” or to believe climate change is happening or caused by human action.
