Clean Air and Climate Action

Clean air is essential for the health and well-being of our families and the environment. Unfortunately, the air we breathe is often polluted due to the lack of accountability by bad actors and polluting industries. In addition, some leaders are not committed to developing cleaner energy sources that can improve air quality while being cost-effective.

Families living near industrial facilities are particularly vulnerable to chronic air pollution, which can lead to serious health problems such as asthma and cancer. However, pollution control technologies are available and have been successful in many communities. Renewable energy and energy efficiency are also viable solutions that can create jobs while reducing carbon pollution.

We have already made progress in Michigan towards cleaner air and energy, but there is more work to be done. As a member of Michigan LCV, you have the power to make a difference by holding polluters accountable and advocating for cleaner air. By staying informed about recent victories and setbacks, you can take action to fight for our clean air. Together, we can launch Michigan to the forefront of clean energy and make a positive impact on our environment.

How Can I Help?

Thank your lawmakers for passing historic clean energy legislation

The Clean Energy & Jobs Act is a big win for Michigan and represents the most substantive action to address the climate crisis in state history. Now, we need your help to show our appreciation for our elected leaders who passed these historic bills!

Take Action

Support Legislation for Independent Community Solar

Senate Bills 152 and 153 would remove unnecessary restrictions on local solar projects, making it easier for communities to generate their own clean, affordable solar energy.

Michigan has the highest energy costs in the Midwest and some of the worst service. Community solar can help residents lower their energy bills and reduce their carbon footprint.

The Inflation Reduction Act

The investments spelled out in the Inflation Reduction Act will help jumpstart a necessary revolution in clean energy manufacturing and give us a window to fight back against future fossil fuel development. Overall, the package – as it currently stands – will cut U.S greenhouse gas emissions by 37 to 41 percent.

SUSTAINABLE FARMING

Every five years, Congress passes a new Farm Bill – a legislative package that directly impacts the agricultural industry and dictates how farms across the U.S. operate, how and what types of crops are grown, and more. It is crucial that Congress takes full advantage of the funding for conservation measures and climate-conscious agricultural programs to expand sustainable farming practices that will help us combat the climate crisis while putting healthy food on our tables.
