Every one of us has a voice and a vote
We need our community to continue to make their voices heard about climate change and the environment. Your local officials, congressperson, and state representatives are elected to represent your interests and concerns.
VOTE! Learn about the issues, and communicate with your elected leaders to push a green agenda!

YOUR NEIGHBORS ARE SPEAKING UP
“I was part of a group of concerned citizens that worked with the town board, local grocery stores, and the public to push for a fee on paper and plastic bags. In April 2019, the town law went into effect that has helped increase reusable bag use by 80% at our three Bedford grocery stores.”
