Since 2004, the CTLCV Education Fund has produced briefing materials on a broad array of environmental issues for state legislators, policy makers, media, and the general public.
This year we saw major legislation on offshore wind procurement, the plastic bag ban, as well as a resolution to pass the State Water Plan. We hope we will see the rest of these critical pieces of environmental legislation pass in 2020.
This year we highlighted nine issues that are of critical importance to Connecticut's economy, public health and safety. We will update this report with additional briefing papers as the issues develop during the legislative session.
In 2015 we highlighted ten issues that are of critical importance to Connecticut’s economy, public health and safety.
We are indebted to the many members of the environmental community who contributed to these briefs and to those advocates who continue to fight every day to protect our state’s great natural legacy for future generations. A special thank you to Eric Emanuelson, the author and coordinator of these briefs, and CPRdesignco for editing, photography and design.
