What is Washington State’s CLIMATE COMMITMENT ACT and why are some trying to repeal it with I-2117?

Whidbey Climate ACTION’s September ISLAND CONVERSATIONS will focus on this landmark legislation(2021), designed to to minimize climate change, reduce global warming emissions by making polluters pay, and support crucial public services like ferries and transportation infrastructure, eco-system restoration, cleaner air and water, fire prevention and protection, advanced forestry and coastal practices and more.
