Take Action on Current Climate Legislation
Now is the time for bold, decisive action from our State Legislature. We need to urge our legislators to call for energy policy to stop fossil fuel subsidies, transition to renewable clean energy, support local renewable energy resources, keep energy dollars in our communities, create good green jobs and protect environmental justice communities from climate change and life-threatening pollution. Legislators need to hear your voice on these critical initiatives.
Please contact your representatives to follow up on all town and state legislative priorities
Our Priorities
Educating the community on the why and how of electrifying— replacing everything in your home that burns fossil fuels with an electric alternative and using electric vehicles rather than gas-powered vehicles.
Adopting the opt-in specialized stretch code in Andover
Educating Andover residents on the value of more renewable electric sources on the grid and encouraging residents to opt-up to 100% renewable electricity
