Highlights

Duluth area community members, healthcare and public health professionals, environmental advocates are gathering to learn and discuss environmental pollution’s impact health — and what health professionals and community members can do about it! Explore Minnesota’s Cumulative Impacts Law, which requires the MN Pollution Control Agency to assess the cumulative effects of pollution in Environmental Justice communities when issuing air permits. Learn more and Register here.

Join Healthy Climate Wisconsin for a Community Conversation on Wind Energy

Many of us want a few simple things: good jobs for our hardworking families, farms that we can pass down for generations, clean air and water, lower bills, and strong schools, roads, and health services in our town. But budgets are tight. We need to get creative about how to make ends meet without losing what we care about most. Please join us for lunch and a community conversation about how wind projects are helping neighboring towns do just that. Then we’ll talk through questions and information about wind projects proposed in southwest Wisconsin so that you can make up your own mind about decisions in your community. Learn more and RSVP here.
