Public Policy
Suffice it to say, the election did not work out well for environmentally progressive candidates. Since this site is dedicated to sharing positive news, we won’t be posting any negative clickbait—of which there will undoubtedly be plenty.
So, what’s next?… We will focus on hopeful surprises and the ongoing progress made by local communities, states, and regions around the world that are committed to green policies. We’ll also shine a spotlight on organizations doing great work. Below is a starter list, and if you know of an organization that should be added, please leave a comment and we’ll include it.
In case you would like a refresher on what you voted for, here is a link to the Select 2024 Election Candidate Policies page.
