The Week of September 20-24, 2021, is National Clean Energy Week
People are feeling the health impacts of climate change now, whether it’s from worsening air pollution, extreme heat, more frequent and intense storms and floods, or wildfires and drought. The good news is we can move away from harmful fossil fuels that cause climate change and make us sick by shifting to safe, clean locally made energy like wind and solar. Find out how you can be part of the solution to support clean energy and reduce greenhouse gases during National Clean Energy Week, so each breath we take can be a healthy one.
