CCL's Legislative Coordinator, Morgan McCue, provides a legislative update on the new "Save Our Future Act." Introduced on June 16 by Senators Sheldon Whitehouse and Brian Schatz, this landmark carbon pricing policy is similar to the 2019 American Opportunity Carbon Fee Act.

The legislation sets an ambitious carbon price to reduce U.S. emissions. It also addresses environmental justice, invests in coal communities for a clean energy transition, and protects American households with regular rebates and funding for further reductions.

Sristi Kamal, Oregon Representative for Defenders of Wildlife, testified for House Bill 2548, which proposes a study to fund wildlife crossings and safe passage structures on Oregon highways. The goal is to reduce collisions and protect ecosystems.

Kamal emphasized the severe economic and ecological impacts of wildlife collisions, including property damage, human injury, and animal loss. Collisions hinder species' movement, food access, and genetic diversity. A neighboring state estimated $2.5 million in annual collision costs on just 12.5 miles of highway. She argued the study is crucial to finding solutions, demonstrating that passage benefits will far outweigh initial investment, preventing further losses. Kamal urged continued engagement in the Oregon Legislative session to support better wildlife policies.

Lia Harel, 18, co-founded and organizes Minnesota Can’t Wait, a youth-led movement pushing for bold climate action. She became an organizer three years ago, recognizing climate change's broad societal impacts.

Frustrated, she joined other youth activists in summer 2018 to demand Minnesota lead on climate policies, forming Minnesota Can’t Wait, reflecting their urgency. The movement united diverse groups—including Indigenous communities and business leaders—around three core demands: no new fossil fuel infrastructure, statewide greenhouse gas regulation, and supporting the Minnesota Green New Deal Bill. They organized rallies, testified, and helped draft legislation, aiming to shift conversations and elevate expectations for a just, sustainable economy.

Animal protein production contributes significantly to climate-altering gases. However, a new generation of companies is developing innovative meat alternatives, including plant-based options and lab-grown cells, which boast much smaller environmental impacts. Major investors like Bill Gates, Cargill, and Tyson are backing these "clean meat" technologies.

These emerging food choices are now available in restaurants and grocery stores. The critical questions are whether these options will achieve mainstream adoption and effectively reduce the carbon pollution destabilizing our climate. #letstalkclimate Learn more at climateone.org and this event page.
