Rep. Andraca: Introduces legislation to combat climate change - WisPolitics
Madison, Wis. – Democratic lawmakers announced a legislative package to help the state better manage the growing impacts of climate change. The legislation builds on recommendations from Governor Evers’ Task Force on Climate Change and comes a day after President Biden and Chinese President Xi agreed to accelerate the use of renewable energy to help reduce greenhouse gasses.
Representative Deb Andraca (D-Whitefish Bay) released the following statement:
“Today we set a bold vision for the future that outlines urgent actions our state must take to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and climate injustice. By investing in cleaner sources of energy, using energy more wisely, and teaching the next generation about the impacts of our carbon footprint, we can help mitigate damage and build resilience into our neighborhoods and our infrastructure.”
