(2/2) As governor, I would support & sign legislation to strengthen existing laws to further eliminate exposure risks for Rhode Islanders & keep our waters clean. #foreverchemicals #PFAS #nonsticknightmare — PolitiTweet.org

Nellie Gorbea @NellieGorbea

THREAD (1/2) We’ve seen progress to eliminate #PFAS from food packaging & set standards for water quality. We still have work to do to protect our families from these forever-chemicals. — PolitiTweet.org

(2/2) I will also work with stakeholders to create microgrids & community solar projects that will improve access to solar power, particularly in low-income communities. See page 13 of my Climate Plan: https://t.co/cGAy6BgpLC #ActOnClimate — PolitiTweet.org

Nellie Gorbea @NellieGorbea

THREAD (1/2) I will revive @EnergyRI led efforts to create guidelines for solar energy by bringing together governments, advocates, experts & developers to ensure utility-scale solar projects are sited appropriately & do not destroy open space and forests. — PolitiTweet.org

Nellie Gorbea @NellieGorbea

(4/4) We must reenvision RIDOT as an agency that oversees a modern, comprehensive & convenient transportation network that will prioritize the #ActOnClimate’s goals. Read more about my new vision for RIDOT in my climate plan: https://t.co/cGAy6BgpLC — PolitiTweet.org

(3/4) Our public transit system must be improved. This means deprioritizing highway expansion projects & reallocating those funds towards public transit options that do not cost RI riders. — PolitiTweet.org

Nellie Gorbea @NellieGorbea

(2/4) I pledge to double the yearly number of housing units built. Most of these homes should be built in areas where residents have multiple transit options in order to decrease car dependency. — PolitiTweet.org

Nellie Gorbea @NellieGorbea

THREAD: (1/4) To reach #ActOnClimate goals– RI must reduce its dependence on fossil fuel-powered vehicles. Here is how I propose we do so: — PolitiTweet.org

Nellie Gorbea @NellieGorbea

(3/4) I will think long-term & bring together stakeholders to discuss the future of the central landfill, including how to extend its life & how to prepare for its eventual closure once it reaches capacity. — PolitiTweet.org

Nellie Gorbea @NellieGorbea

(2/4) I will also oppose loopholes allowing for “advanced recycling” facilities & their labeling as “renewable energy.” — PolitiTweet.org

Nellie Gorbea @NellieGorbea

THREAD (1/4) We cannot recycle our way out of our plastics problem– we must stop it at the source. I will support source-reduction policies like a bottle bill and extended producer responsibility. #breakfreefromplastic #ReThinkDisposable — PolitiTweet.org

Nellie Gorbea @NellieGorbea

No amount of lead is safe. Lead poisoning negatively affects learning outcomes, health & lifetime earning potential. I will work tirelessly as governor to expand RI Housing’s Lead Safe Homes program & remove lead service lines to eliminate the hazard of lead in our homes. — PolitiTweet.org

Nellie Gorbea @NellieGorbea

I’m committed to opposing any proposal to build new fossil fuel infrastructure in RI and will oppose any expansion of such activities in the port. I’ll work with members of the community to develop a shared vision for the future of the port. #ActOnClimate — PolitiTweet.org

Nellie Gorbea @NellieGorbea

(2/3) Besides undoing historic environmental racism, we need to make sure that jobs and new businesses that get created in a new renewable energy economy go to the residents of these communities. — PolitiTweet.org

Nellie Gorbea @NellieGorbea

THREAD: (1/3) As gov. I will prioritize the voices of frontline communities in state decisions. We must work to undo the unjust legacy that has left communities of color to bear the disproportionate burden of our decisions. — PolitiTweet.org

Nellie Gorbea @NellieGorbea

We must phase-out the sale of gas-powered cars by 2035. We must also undo our dependence on autos by rethinking housing, transit & economic policies so we can address congestion, pollution & expensive road maintenance. #ActOnClimate — PolitiTweet.org
