Vermont Companies Support Employees’ Call for Urgent Climate Action
Burlington, VT, January 23, 2020 – Some of Vermont’s most iconic companies gave employees time off today to lobby policy makers at the Statehouse in Montpelier. More than 100 employees met with elected officials and called on the Governor and the legislature to make climate change a priority in this legislative session and to pass a package of laws to ensure that Vermont meets its goals of a 40% reduction of GHG levels by 2030, and 80-95% reduction by 2050.
The employees warned that Vermont’s failure to reduce carbon emissions is damaging to the economy, environment, and their way of life.
