State law requires that our energy needs be met first through cost-effective energy efficiency investments as they are cheaper and less polluting than generating more electricity.

Send a message to Governor Malloy and Commissioner Esty today!

The Department of Energy and Environmental Protection is currently deliberating on the future of the CT Energy Efficiency Fund.  Governor Malloy and DEEP Commissioner Dan Esty need to know they have public support to implement our state’s efficiency first law rather than freeze funding for Connecticut Energy Efficiency Fund programs like Home Energy Solutions at current levels.  Inaction would hand $1 billion¹ in consumer savings over the next five years to buy electricity from unregulated, for-profit power plant owners. 

Ask your Representative to Co-Sponsor HR2359, the Safe Cosmetics Act!

Did you know right now in the U.S. it's perfectly legal for there to be lead in lipstick and carcinogens in baby shampoo?  Some of these chemicals don't even appear on product labels. This bill (H.R. 2359) would give the Food and Drug Administration the authority it needs to ensure that personal care products are free of harmful substances like lead, 1,4-dioxane and chemicals linked to cancer.

The law that is supposed to protect us from the health effects caused by toxic chemicals is not working.

The Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) does not prevent us from being exposed, every day, to chemicals like formaldehyde, lead, and asbestos. These are cancer-causing chemicals and also result in reproductive problems and many other diseases.
