My name is _________________, and I am your constituent living in the town of __________________.

I’m writing to ask that you co-sponsor and support all of HB 6441, An Act Concerning Climate Change Adaptation. which provides municipalities with a suite of new and voluntary tools to address climate change.

In our community we could use these funds for climate resilience, land stewardship, tree planting/maintenance, as matching grant funding or to repay local bonds for environmental work. [ADD a local example if you have one]
