A recent National Audubon Society report showed that nearly half our birds are threatened by global warming, including trumpeter swans. When I think about a future without the sound or sight of this iconic Pacific Northwest bird, I want to do something to protect them and reduce the threat caused by a changing climate. I am very pleased that Gov. Jay Inslee has proposed a plan to reduce carbon emissions, support clean fuel transportation options and promote new technologies aimed at moving us to a clean energy future.
I want to express my thanks to Gov. Inslee for demonstrating strong leadership on this issue and urge others to act during the 2015 legislative session to secure a better future for our birds and our children.
