Politicians in NW Indiana (& across the state) need to be held accountable for this shameful, tragic fact: nwitimes.com/business/local/… #ConserveIndiana
Can we please elect Leo to the Indiana General Assembly? He clearly knows how to #ConserveIndiana treehugger.com/young-activis…
Indiana legislature needs to make SB 373 a law so that @carbonneutralIN can help set up carbon markets across Indiana! #ConserveIndiana #goneutral #cleanupIndiana

Should citizens like those in Franklin, Ind. have to start an organization to defend their children from cancer-causing chemicals? NO. They just need lawmakers who understand the connection between human health & the environment. New column by @laker_anne howeypolitics.com/Content/De…
Lawmakers need to work with citizens to make renewable energy work in their communities. If citizens tolerated dirty coal plants, there should be a way to make a wind farm acceptable ? We can't wait any longer to #ConserveIndiana
More than 30 Indiana counties have said no wind and solar projects. Now, many renewable companies are saying no to Indiana, taking millions in investment elsewhere.
The state is now trying to override those counties.

Hunting is an ancient sport that can be done with respect. But what kind of sport is killing an animal with an AR-15 rifle? 7 states have banned killing contests; Indiana should be next. Call your lawmakers to demand action. wsbt.com/news/local/humane-s… #stopkillingcontests #coyotes
Suicide has skyrocketed among Indiana teens. Forests and nature are free sources of therapy! Tell your House legislator to support the carbon markets bill & oppose the anti-wetlands bill. And visit Tree.fm for some soothing forest sounds!🌳 one.npr.org/i/973355627:9733…

Indiana is looking to ban cities from banning natural gas, which nowhere in Indiana is currently looking to do.
A dozen other states are considering this type of legislation, being pushed by the gas and building industries.

"Republicans have the power. They have the power to do right by Indiana citizens and protect us from contamination, toxins and industries that poison air, water, land, hearts and lungs." When will they? howeypolitics.com/Content/Co…. Column in @hwypol by @laker_anne. #ConserveIndiana
Lawmakers with ties to the building industry have no business making laws that wipe out wetlands. Ask your Indiana State Representative for a NO vote on SB389, the anti-wetlands bill. Call the Indiana House at (800) 382-9842. #ConserveIndiana #StopSB389 #SaveWetlands

Surprise, surprise. No state has been more domesticated than #Indiana. Here, private sector interests always trump the health of land & people. But ignoring basic ecological principles always results, in the end, to less not more growth. Good #ecology is good economics. = over $
Voters in the districts of Sen. Garten, Sen. Rogers, Sen. Messmer & Sen. Baldwin, take note: your senators are doing the bidding of the building industry, not the common good: indystar.com/story/news/envi… #ConserveIndiana #SB389 #IndianaWetlands
Regardless of party, support lawmakers and laws that #ConserveIndiana

"If we don’t do something, that will be costly, too," said Jackson Dorsey, an assistant professor at IU's Kelley School of Business. Demand climate action from politicians of all parties! #ConserveIndiana. indystar.com/story/news/envi…
If this isn't cover for Indiana politicians to act, we don't know what is. #ConserveIndiana indystar.com/story/news/envi…
.@potus , thanks for prioritizing climate solutions. I urge you to work toward bipartisan climate legislation in Congress that includes carbon fee & dividend. #PriceOnPollution energyinnovationact.org. P.S. It's cool that you beat your grandkid at Mario Kart.
