The proposed emissions standards for new cars and trucks are facing steep opposition and the clock is ticking. We expect the Regulations Review Committee to vote on these new regulations at their next meeting on Tuesday, November 28.
On Monday, October 30, IREJN held a webinar to talk about the proposed emissions standards, what they cover (and what they don’t), the benefits to public health and the environment, and the moral, ethical, and theological case for addressing air pollution and climate change.
Panelists
- Charles Rothenberger, Save the Sound
- Ruth Canovi, American Lung Association
- Deacon Art Miller, St. Mary’s Church, Simsbury
- Father Bob Washabaugh, St. Mary’s Church, Norwich
