Take Climate Action: Support the NC Senate’s Energy Bill Compromise
Email your North Carolina State Senator and Representative and urge them to support the bi-partisan Energy Bill compromise (revised HB 951) announced by Governor Roy Cooper and Senate President Pro Tempore Phil Berger. This bill would be a big bipartisan win that sets aggressive clean energy goals and establishes North Carolina as a leader on climate action in the Southeast.
Call for Solar for Buncombe County
The County’s Energy and Environment subcommittee has recommended a study for solar on the city schools, county schools and AB Tech. This work could drive another $20+ million in local solar investment on an estimated 40 more public facilities. Please act today and ask for the Commissioners’ support!
Take Action to Reduce Air Pollution and Protect Our Parks
Encourage the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality’s Division of Air Quality (DAQ) to improve its Regional Haze Rule State Implementation Plan. Submit public comment and attend the public hearing on October 6, 2021.
Join Us for an Annual Member Gathering in Your Area!
We are excited to be gathering in person this year to connect with you, our members, to celebrate our award winners and see each others’ smiling faces!
In light of the current rate of COVID infections and the situation in hospitals across our region, we have chosen to host multiple, smaller, outdoor events in place of one large gathering. We are also requiring that all attendees be fully vaccinated in order to participate. If you are not vaccinated, you will have an opportunity to vote for new and returning board members online.
Stand Up for these Principles at a Comprehensive Planning Meeting
MountainTrue is encouraging our members and supporters to take an active role in several comprehensive planning efforts throughout our region. These comprehensive plans are an important opportunity for you to have a voice in how our local governments grow and develop. As a resource, we’ve provided a set of principles that local governments should adhere to in order to meet the challenges of climate change, a growing population and increased pressures on our built environment.
