"The leak was first detected in March, according to an Aug. 22 letter to the EPA from the company, although the company had known about corrosion in tubing at the well since October 2023." bit.ly/3XvCAoS

The Clean and Reliable Grid Act will update our state’s energy efficiency policies, saving families money and ensuring our grid can keep up with rising demand. Urge your legislators to #ElectrifyIL! ilcleanjobs.org/icjc-platfor…

Air quality in IL is 👎 This is the least our state can do.
IL deserves cleaner air! @SierraClubIL just filed a petition from 1000+ residents calling on @GovPritzker’s Pollution Control Board to adopt stronger-than-federal protections against toxic tailpipe pollution and address Illinois’ #AirQuality crisis. sierraclub.org/press-release…

We ❤️ to see it!
This kind of proactive upzoning—especially when it decentralizes car parking—makes our communities more walkable, bikeable, transit-forward and affordable!
Thanks for your YIMBY leadership, @AldMattMartin, @40thforward & @ChiAlderwoman!
Today, I introduced an ordinance with @40thforward and @ChiAlderwoman to upzone large sections of Western Ave.
This may be the first comprehensive, department-led, proactive upzoning in Chicago and should be a model for how the City plans development moving forward. 1/3

Thank you @AJPatton10 for highlighting the need for energy efficient affordable housing. Let's pass Chicago's Clean & Affordable Buildings Ordinance to lower energy costs and protect our health! #ElectrifyChi
"When I was a kid we struggled with a $400 heating bill and a hole in our roof. Here’s why we need energy-efficiency standards for affordable housing," writes CEO of 548 Enterprises @AJPatton10 in a new commentary. fortune.com/2024/06/04/housi…

Thousands of young people led a #ClimateStrike in Illinois, calling on @GovPritzker to protect our planet by supporting the Clean Energy Jobs Act. We can be a leader in this movement, but not without bold leadership. Tell Pritzker to take action! bit.ly/CEJAcosponsor #CEJA

Did you know The Clean Energy Jobs Act was formulated for the community, BY the community? Watch this @ILCleanJobs video discussing #CEJA with @LVEJO Policy Director @julianapino. on.nrdc.org/2m4TWuK

Exciting news! Rep. Kelly Burke just signed on as the latest cosponsor of the #CleanEnergyJobsAct! This means we now have 54 State Reps that are committed to protecting our planet while creating good, clean jobs across the state. #CEJA
