Lesli Muñoz Perez ‘24 and Izzy Weaver ‘23 Appear at Climate Action Event
Last week, Lesli Muñoz Perez ‘24 and Izzy Weaver ‘23, members of Schools For Climate Action, appeared alongside Representative Mike Thompson at an event promoting sustainability measures included in the federal Inflation Reduction Act. Provisions in the congressional act, approved in August, make a number of clean energy solutions available for consumers, in addition to private investors and public entities.
The event brought representatives from a number of organizations together to encourage the public to take advantage of these opportunities, which include tax incentives for purchasing energy efficient goods, switching to renewable power or electric vehicles.
Our students spoke about funding in the bill that would advance climate justice through programs to fight air pollution at schools in disadvantaged areas, develop tree canopies in urban centers at risk of becoming heat islands and other projects addressing the specific needs of individual neighborhoods that bear the brunt of climate change.
