Thanks to your advocacy—your emails, testimony, phone calls, and presence at the Capitol—we moved the needle on critical environmental, climate, and justice issues |  A Note from our Chapter ChairWith summer break ahead of us, we will be back with our next issue of the Quinnehtukqut in August! So catch up on what we’ve been up to, including how we’ve been working to reduce waste in our state, and what we have ahead of us. We hope to see you at some summer events! |  Powering Remington Wood's FutureAs we work together to preserve Remington Woods, we’re excited to share the passive income plan that will support both the environmental sustainability and long-term stewardship of this unique urban forest—conserving 369 acres of natural habitat, while allocating 50 acres for renewable energy generation. |
