The 5th Annual Conservation Day at the Indiana State House

Tuesday, January 27, 2009

Sponsored by the Indiana Conservation Alliance*

Indiana’s 2009 State Legislative Session is just around the corner. This year will be a budget-making session and we need your help to focus our legislators’ attention on conservation!

The Alliance has chosen 3 top priorities for this year:
$4 million for land protection through the Indiana Heritage Trust
$1 million for soil and water projects though Clean Water Indiana
Passage of a Renewable Electricity Standard which increases Indiana’s use of wind, solar and other types of renewable energy to 20% by 2020

Conservation Day is an incredible opportunity to show our elected officials that Hoosiers care about protecting our precious natural resources and preserving our environment. Not only is there a chance to engage legislators in matters that mean the most to us, but we'll also have the chance to learn more about conservation organizations throughout the state. Remember, the more people that attend Conservation Day, the bigger the impact. Carpool with co-workers, friends and family or take a brisk walk to the statehouse, and help make a difference!
