Citizens Climate Lobby Long Island is a volunteer chapter of the international organization, Citizens Climate Lobby, that works with our elected officials to implement effective climate change policies in the US and Canada, specifically by lobbying for national carbon fee and dividend legislation. We also build political will by educating our local communities about the dangers of climate change and how we can address them by transitioning to a clean energy economy.
