Attend Missouri Conservation Lobby Day Wednesday, Feb 3 Help Missouri Go Green
If you care about Missouri’s environment and want to make a difference, we need your help! Join Missouri Coalition for the Environment, Missouri Sierra Club, Missouri Votes Conservation, and citizens from across the state at the capitol for Conservation Lobby Day on Wednesday, February 3, 2010. This is an important opportunity to share your passion for the environment with state legislators, and have a big impact on environmental policies affecting Missouri.
Each year, Missourians gather at the capitol to make their conservation values known - from environmentalists, scientists, students and business owners to hunters, anglers and farmers. On Lobby Day, advocate for one of these important issues:
- Increase Energy Efficiency & Renewables: Improve Missouri's near-bottom energy efficiency ranking and expand usage of renewable energy.
- Protect Water Quality: Ensure adequate monitoring and enforcement to protect Missouri’s streams and lakes.
- Maintain State Parks: Ensure funding for vitally-needed capital improvements to maintain Missouri’s excellent parks.
- Build Green with LEED Certification: Make buildings more energy efficient through green building standards.
Become part of the political process, and add your voice to others in Missouri's environmental community. By speaking out with a unified voice for environmental values, we can help shape the future of our state.
