Protecting the climate and clean water will be an uphill battle in the second half of the Montana legislative session. The Montana Environmental Information Center (MEIC) is a non-partisan, nonprofit organization advocating for clean air, clean water, a livable climate, and sustainable communities in Montana.
MEIC has lobbied in legislative sessions since our founding in 1973, and we can say without a doubt that the last several sessions have been difficult, but crucial in the struggle for a healthy climate. Defeating legislation that will curb climate progress – and passing good legislation – requires engagement at all levels, from local governments to everyday Montanans concerned about the climate crisis, public safety, and affordable energy.
