Western Resource Advocates fights climate change and its impacts to sustain the environment, economy, and people of the West. We respect the different needs of diverse people and partner with them to develop a shared vision for progress — one that advances communities while protecting biodiversity. Our team of policy experts, scientists, economists, and attorneys has a 30-year history of working where decisions are made, sweating the details, creating evidence-based solutions, and holding decisionmakers accountable. This on-the-ground work with policymakers and other advocates advances clean energy, protects air, land, water, and wildlife — and sustains the lives and livelihoods of the West. The climate issues facing the West are what WRA focuses on each and every day — at air quality boards who address air pollution, at public utility commissions who are managing the clean energy transition, in state legislatures and at state agencies where land and wildlife issues are deliberated. All comments on WRA posts are subject to review by the WRA team and may be removed at the team’s discretion. We reserve the right to moderate our comments section, replies, fan and follower lists, and posts to our pages as we see fit, and remove any comment for any reason we deem appropriate. https://westernresourceadvocates.org/social-media-comment-policy/
