An editorial by Meg Kerr, Senior Director of Policy | Our forests provide innumerable services to humans and wildlife. Maintaining woodlands in rural areas of the state and promoting tree planting in suburban and urban neighborhoods is part of the climate change solution.
Today is #WorldEnvironmentDay and there are two "bad" plastics bills passing through the State House today, June 5th and tomorrow June 6th.
Forests protect the water quality in local aquifers and sequester carbon from the atmosphere. They provide vital habitat, cool the environment, reduce soil erosion and provide a stress-free place for rest, recreation and rejuvenation. Audubon wants see forests in the language of the law, because when natural resources are referenced in RI laws, forests are absent, as if they don’t even exist.
The statewide plastic bag ban bill has been amended and is now a strong bill that Audubon can support.
Update: The Rhode Island Senate will be voting on the RI Plastic Waste Reduction Act Thursday, June 6th at 4:00pm. Come out to show your support for this bill! Call or email your Senator and Senate President Ruggerio to express your support for the bill and ask them to vote for the bill on the Senate Floor.
