Want to learn what you can do to have your voice heard on environmental legislation that affects the air we breathe and water we drink? Indiana legislators are back in session and considering legislation that could weaken regulation of polluting factory farms, impair our environmental agency’s ability to issue protective permits, take away incentives that are critical to expanding roof top wind and solar, among other dangerous bills.
