The 22nd Annual Earth Day Lobby Day in Albany will be held on Wednesday, April 25th. Hundreds of citizens from every corner of New York State will meet with their state lawmakers and show their support for the environment.
This year's Earth Day Lobby Day will focus on critically important environmental issues such as expanding solar energy, curbing greenhouse gas emissions, protecting New Yorkers from the dangers of hydrofracking, removing toxic chemicals from children’s products, and increasing funding for environmental programs. Specifically we will be lobbying on the following environmental “Super Bills”:
Fracking Hazardous Waste Loophole: A7013/S4616
Global Warming Pollution Cap: A5346/S2742B
Solar Jobs Act: A9149
EPF Enhancement Act: A7137A/S5403A
Child Safe Products Act: A3141A
As always, participants are welcome to speak with legislators about additional issues of concern.
The day's events will last from 9:30 to 3:00. The morning program will take place in Hearing Room C of the Legislative Office Building. To participate in the afternoon lobbying activities, you must preregister by Friday, April 20th by completing the form below.
