Unfortunately not all of our state legislators seem to get it, and we're still a long way from the finish. That's partly because the halls of the our State House are crawling with industry lobbyists.

Together, we'll talk to our elected officials about global warming, as well as how they can help us save energy, protect open spaces, and reduce harmful chemicals in our products, air and water. And, best of all, we'll have fun doing it.
