  1. More #climateaction #climateadvocacy that #NewYorkers can take today via #NYRenews:

    The #NYS Senate is holding a hearing tomorrow regarding the implementation of the Climate Act, which is still not fully funded.

    Consider sending legislators a message prior to the hearing tomorrow supporting the NYRenews Climate, Jobs, and Justice package, which would help fund this important #climatelegislation!

  2. Very excited to read about the #healthbenefits from this #climatelegislation, and from a #pediatrician's perspective, this is a big #environmentaljustice #climatejustice win, especially for #childhealth in our communities.

    However, much work remains to be done & more legislation needs to be passed - such as the #NYS Climate, Justice, and Jobs Package being supported by #NYRenews. Climate legislation is public health legislation.

  3. This week, the #NYS Climate Action Council released "the Scoping Plan" roadmap for reaching the greenhouse gas emission reduction goals enshrined in the 2019 Climate Leadership & Community Protection Act.

    It's expected to yield at least $115 billion in net benefits from improved public health and avoided damages from climate change, & create up to 211,000 jobs by 2030 and up to 318,000 by 2040.

  6. I think the big takeaways from this #NYTimes article (nyti.ms/3V9Eqsm) are:

    1. Driving less will drive down your #climateemissions & is a great way to take #climateaction
    2. Communities need to invest in #publictransit powered by #cleanenergy.
    3. Individual action is important but #urbanplanning, #climatelegislation, and building #resilience in communities should be our priority.

  7. If you live in #NewYorkState, here's some quick #climateaction you can take tonight:

    #NYRenews one-click tool to send an email to #NYS Assembly members asking them to support the Climate Justice and Jobs Package of #climatelegislation being considered in this legislative session.

  8. Thanks to the amazing new Empire of Dirt #climate substack written by @lissaharris, I was happy to read the Win.Climate think tank's cost-saving analysis of the All Electric Building Act under consideration by the 2023 #NYS legislature. #climatelegislation

    However, the study only considers energy savings from #heatpumps b/w Oct-Mar months, & doesn't include the savings heat pumps may provide for homes during #heatwaves in the summer. I would love to see that analysis done in addition.
