This bill creates a direct cash assistance program with no restrictions or requirements for recipients, and would greatly help Washington residents who are struggling under the weight of unprecedented income inequality.
The CURB act will address the cumulative pollution burden on vulnerable communities by considering already existing pollution when evaluating new permits.
HJR 4210 will allow Washingtonians to vote on adding a Green Amendment to our constitution, stating that the people of Washington, including future generations, have the inalienable right to a clean, healthy environment, including pure water, clean air, healthy ecosystems, and a stable climate.
SB 6113 enables community solar installations to move forward in Washington State. Please help it move out of committee before the cutoff by emailing the Senate Environment, Energy & Technology Committee.
HB 1574 offers grants for carbon sequestration and GHG emission reduction and sets up a committee to guide awards and inform farmers about the programs. The bill needs improving: funding for anaerobic digesters and for piping gas off site should be eliminated.
The Right to Repair bill will make it easier to repair digital electronic equipment. It will save consumers money while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
The fashion industry accounts for 8-10% of global greenhouse gas emissions, and involves high levels of water use and pollution. These bills direct the largest retailers to begin tracking pollution and to disclose improvement targets.
Amend the proposed $8 million budget proviso to prioritize six Trust Land Transfer projects in heavily forested areas that maximize carbon sequestration and align with the Climate Commitment Act's intention to mitigate climate change.
