“Flow has an impact on water quality, temperature, habitat — everything from spawning cues for fish to just keeping them alive when flows are getting low at the end of the summer,” says @wradv's @WaterBart. Read more about the Environmental Flows Cohort: aspenjournalism.org/group-to…

📈 Extreme #heat events in Colorado are no joke, with a 400% increase in 100-degree days. The time for action is NOW. Check out the #CoolingAccess report by HAWC and @RMIBuildings to learn how equitable policy changes can protect our at-risk communities: bit.ly/3wKCIay

Electrifying homes could result in net savings of $96 billion for Americans over the next 25 years, but only if there are policies in place allowing lower-income households to participate: @ACEEEdc report.

IT’S PASSED! ✅
We’re creating a Colorado program to protect our wetlands, rivers, and streams after they were left vulnerable by the US Supreme Court.
Speaker @McCluskieforCO, Rep. @McCormickForCO, @SenKirkmeyer and I worked hard with so many partners to get this done! #coleg
The Colorado Senate unanimously approved a now-bipartisan bill that will implement new protections for waters left vulnerable by a U.S. Supreme Court decision that narrowed the reach of the Clean Water Act.

CO has new $ for bus & rail operations - SB24-230 & SB24-229 have passed! A HUGE thank you to @SteveFenberg @Cutter4Colorado @McCluskieforCO @Velasco4CO @baconforco @JennyforCO @FaithWinterCO @KevinPriola for championing ozone reductions & investments in transit & lands! #coleg

AMAZING #climate news for Colorado. SB230 will raise about $110 million per year for public transit to invest in more frequent & reliable transit across CO. This marks the first long-term, dedicated funding source for public transit in CO history. swenergy.org/colorado-passes… 🚌🚊🌎🫎
Western Resource Advocates retweeted
And with that, Colorado passes the largest ongoing investment in transit, via a fee on oil and gas production. A huge win for Coloradans, air quality and climate! #coleg

Clean Car standards are a vital step NM has taken to deliver the benefits of lower transpo costs, cleaner air & less extreme weather directly to New Mexicans. We’re here at a hearing where franchise dealers are attempting to deny these benefits to New Mexicans. #NMCleanAir #NMPol

On Friday, @GovofCO signed three of my bipartisan bills into law - all three will especially help our rural and mountain communities.
✅ SB2: Property tax rebates for affordable housing
✅ SB5: Saves precious water
✅ SB58: Protects landowners who allow public recreation

#NavajoNation President @BuuVanNygren: the grant offers hope to families, "they’re going to be able to access refrigerators, lighting, kids can do their homework at night and not have to worry about it." bit.ly/3UWJIv0 @Power4Natives #solar

Conservation success is unachievable without a diversity of perspectives.
That’s why women and people of color need more seats at the decision making table.

Thank you, Senators &House Reps, for voting to pass SB5 to reduce nonfunctional turf! This legislation supports CWCB's Turf Replacement Program and helps set the standard for climate-resilient landscapes–ensuring sustainable low-water-use development and water resiliency. #coleg
