On Monday, July 15th, at 10am, the House Committee on Environment and Energy is meeting at the State House to discuss a bill, Act No. 59 (H.126) – An act relating to community resilience and biodiversity protection.
This bill contains language that would mandate environmental protection and conservation 30% of Vermont’s land by 2030, and 50% of Vermont’s land by 2050 – Some refer to this bill as the “30×30, 50×50” bill.
Vermont Daily Chronicle reporter Paul Bean will be in attendance.
