Support LRB 2921/1: Fourth Grade State Parks Pass
Wisconsin Conservation Voters urges you to support LRB 2921/1, which is currently circulating for co-sponsorship.
Wisconsin children are losing their connection to nature. That disconnect threatens their health, their quality of life, their readiness for future job opportunities, and the sustainability of our natural resources. LRB 2921/1 provides an opportunity for every fourth grade student in Wisconsin to experience our state parks with their families by providing a free state park vehicle admission sticker.
Support LRB 2332/1: Protecting Communities from Pesticides
Wisconsin Conservation Voters urges you to support LRB 2332/1, which is currently circulating for co-sponsorship.
Pesticide use can have serious impacts on public health, especially for children and pregnant women. Pesticides are often applied in areas where children are likely to be exposed. LRB 2332/1 would give municipalities the ability to set limits on pesticide use to protect human health.
Support LRB 0032/1: Promoting Healthy and Environmentally Responsible Packaging
Wisconsin Conservation Voters urges you to support LRB 0032/1, which is currently circulating for co-sponsorship.
Containers should be safe for our food and beverages – and safe for the environment. Styrofoam has been linked to cancer. It also ends up in landfills and as litter because it doesn’t break down. There are now many environmentally friendlier food and beverage containers available. LRB 0032/1 would phase out the use of most styrofoam in food and beverage containers in a year.
Conservation Notices of the Week (CNOW) announce the pro-conservation positions on issues before the senate, assembly and/or governor in the week ahead to state legislators. Others wishing to follow activities in the state legislature also receive CNOW, including legislative staff, conservation voters, and media. All of these issues are tracked on the Vote Tracker. Issues in the CNOW may appear in the Conservation Scorecard, to be released in the summer of 2020.
