We're proud to join with UO students and the @FossilFREEugene to call on @uoregon to transition to high efficiency all electric heating, and off of polluting gas.

To protect our public health and climate health, we must transition off dirty, dangerous methane gas. Communities across Oregon are stepping up and holding fossil fuel companies accountable. #orpol #orleg #ORClimateAction oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2023/10/24/tra…

Shout out to our Advocacy & Systems Director Ana Molina for speaking about the Building Resilience coalition at #SustainableBuildingWeek. We had a great time celebrating & educating Oregonians about healthy, affordable, resilient homes & buildings that run on clean energy.

We tuned into @OPBTOL this week and were excited to hear @GovTinaKotek say she's "110% committed" to fighting climate change. She has an opportunity to be a real leader if she puts that commitment into action. opb.org/article/2023/1…

SEA is excited to join the ZERO Coalition to advance our goal of building a community taking collective action toward net zero carbon emissions. We look forward to being a part of the conversations, advocating for important policies, & integrating lessons into our projects.

If you burn it, you breathe it. Gas stoves emit a dangerous pollutant that puts our health at risk. @jeffbradynews reports on new research, which reveals the fossil fuel industry KNEW about it's "NOx problem" as early as 1970. And worked to cover it up. npr.org/2023/10/17/118…

Last week was so amazing! Thanks to @KateForOregon for inspiring us with your leadership and the all-star panel for diving into the what, why, & how of the historic win for OR, the #ClimateResilience package! @OregonJTA @BuildResilient_ @climatesolution #orleg @KeepPDXGreen
