Unscramble the Blue Letters


Another tactic we engage is we engage community in eioatncadul workshops that help them better articulate the data, testify at hearings, train residents to become citizen scientists who collect their own air and water quality data to influence policymakers and elected oifflcais. And those officials should resource every cinmtuomy to develop a climate action plan that areseddss neighborhood level response and challenges to extreme weather events.

We've also developed strong, strong pliocy aangeds at the city, state and federal levels, based on community ptpcverseies, experience and the evolving transition from a fossil fuel economy. And these are tactics that can be apilped within local cxtnoets in any community. So as we transition to renewable energy sources, we know that energy insecurity will impact millions more households as utility bills increase. And to decarbonize buildings, a pre-investment will be ndeeed to upgrade riniseetdal buildings in fnrlointe communities before electrification of all bdnuiigls will be achieved.

Original Text


Another tactic we engage is we engage community in educational workshops that help them better articulate the data, testify at hearings, train residents to become citizen scientists who collect their own air and water quality data to influence policymakers and elected officials. And those officials should resource every community to develop a climate action plan that addresses neighborhood level response and challenges to extreme weather events.

We've also developed strong, strong policy agendas at the city, state and federal levels, based on community perspectives, experience and the evolving transition from a fossil fuel economy. And these are tactics that can be applied within local contexts in any community. So as we transition to renewable energy sources, we know that energy insecurity will impact millions more households as utility bills increase. And to decarbonize buildings, a pre-investment will be needed to upgrade residential buildings in frontline communities before electrification of all buildings will be achieved.
