With rates of mental health disorders among adolescents are on the rise, some schools are working to provide more mental health education and more support for struggling students.Great Earth Day present!Breaking news: just now on #EarthDay 2019, the #Washington State legislature passed Senate Bill 5116, a bill that mandates an equitable transition to 100% clean electricity generation for the entire state by 2045. This bill is the strongest 100% clean energy legislation to pass in the country!
Once signed into law by Governor Jay Inslee, #WA will become the 5th state and 7th state-level jurisdiction to join California, Hawaii, New Mexico, Nevada, Washington D.C., and Puerto Rico in committing to 100% clean electricity -- with several other states, including Illinois, Minnesota, New York, and Massachusetts, also considering similar 100% bills this year.
Congratulations to local residents, leaders, and the diverse coalition of labor unions, environmental justice groups like Front and Centered, businesses, medical professionals, faith leaders, and conservation groups that helped make this a reality!
