Question 4 provides $5M to protect RI farmland, keeping land productive and farmers in business. It supports our local food system and local jobs. @ecoRInews @RhodeIslandDEM #GreenBond.

Rhode Island is at risk of losing its farms for good if farmland conservation work stops.

The bond has something for everyone. Clean air, clean water & green space protection real does benefit all RIers. @ARTuoni @AnderBois @RhodeIslandDEM @ecoRInews @colleen_cronin
ecori.org
North or south, town or city, red or blue, it doesn’t matter — all of Rhode Island’s communities vote green, at least when it comes to the Green Bond.

Pat MacMeekin is a hero of the Queen’s River fire. Quick action by @RhodeIslandDEM and firefighters from Exeter & other towns kept everyone safe. A year later, we can talk about how fire is an important element of this ecosystem. @KuffnerAlex @projo .

Last year, two big fires tore through RI forests. Could that happen again?

83% of RI’ers agree: we don’t have to choose nature or housing. As @AnderBois says, we can walk and chew gum at the same time. Thx @FitzProv @Globe_RI #GreenBond #OpenSpace #NaturalClimateSolutions .

Governor McKee’s “green economy” bond did not include funds to preserve open space because of the need to build housing. But the Nature Conservancy’s AnderBois says, “We can and should do both.”

Pitting nature against affordable housing or economic development is a false choice. We can do all three in Rhode Island. Thanks @CotterforRI @RIEEAConnects @KuffnerAlex .

State officials said the McKee administration is rethinking how open space is protected so it doesn't interfere with efforts to build more housing.

A landmark agreement and a new approach to OSW. Coordinated planning and procurement is good news for ratepayers, clean energy jobs and the environment. @NancyKLavin @GovDanMcKee #ClimateAction #OffshoreWind

Rhode Island is joining forces with Msssachusetts and Connecticut to leverage bulk buying power on offshore wind in hopes of better pricing.
