NATIONAL NEWS
American Clean Energy and Security Act
(Washington,
DC)- The U.S. House, splitting largely along party lines, has approved
the most ambitious energy and global warming legislation ever debated
in Congress. H.R. 2454 contains two key urban forestry provisions,
including Rep. Doris Matsui's Energy Conservation through Trees Act and
Rep. Ed Perlmutter's GREEN Act. The Alliance for Community Trees has
been a strong advocate for both, and encourages all ACT members to ask
their elected leaders to support these provisions.
