Vermont Legislature's Climate Solutions Caucus Hosts a Series of Forums Statewide to Outline Priorities & Get Public Input

Marshfield-Plainfield, VT — The Vermont Legislature's Climate Solutions Caucus is hosting a series of forums around the state to outline its priorities for the 2020 legislative session and seek input from Vermonters on the solutions they'd like to see advanced. Local legislators Senator Andrew Perchlik invites you to join him for one of the events in this series on November 14th, 7:00 PM at Twinfield Union School Cafeteria, Marshfield, VT.

"Everyone – including every state and nation – has a role to play in addressing this climate crisis as soon as possible. Vermont is no different," said Senator Perchlik. "These events are intended to focus attention on this critical issue, present practical solutions, and help set the stage for continued action. We look forward to connecting with as many people as possible to share our ideas on the solutions we think will begin to meet that obligation, as well as bring real economic and public benefits to all Vermonters."

A series of recent reports from the world's leading scientists at the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change as well as the U.S. federal government in its 2018 National Climate Assessment made clear that dramatic action is required in the next decade to radically reduce fossil fuel use and mitigate the worst, far-reaching effects of a warming world, including serious impacts to human health, ecosystems and economies.

"Vermonters want us to do our part on this pressing issue," said Senator Perchlik. "They also recognize that taking action can also save people a lot of money, improve public health, and put people to work in the clean energy economy. We have to get serious, and we look forward to working with as many Vermonters as possible to do that in a way that really benefits everyone in our state."

Please join us on November 14th, 7:00 PM at Twinfield Union School Cafeteria, Marshfield, VT for this important conversation – and please invite friends and family who might be interested to attend as well.
NOTE: This event is co-sponsored by the RAMP Energy and Transportation Task Forces and Plainfield-Marshfield BUTTON UP.
