Events, federal actions, resources, partnerships... oh my! NCEL is starting off July by reflecting back on all our work from the past 3 months. The actions of states are more crucial than ever following the Supreme Court's reversal of the Chevron Deference. Through NCEL, state actions are strengthened by their ability to collaborate and work together across state lines – taking the action of one state and multiplying it. Over the past three months... ➡️ We brought legislators together in the Northwest to learn more about best practices for extended producer responsibility (EPR) and deposit return system (DRS) policies. ➡️ In partnership with the Center for American Progress, NCEL hosted an event highlighting state leadership on 30×30 conservation for state decisionmakers to learn from one another and share strong policy models. ➡️ We convened a bipartisan group of 15 legislators from four states in Spokane, Washington to discuss regional transmission and energy needs. These are just a few highlights. Check out more in our latest Quarterly Impact Report: https://lnkd.in/epSKghQM
