Thank you Polis for keeping your Promises

It’s clear that in November, Colorado made the right choice - one week in office, and Governor Polis is already keeping his promises!

I was thrilled to see that on Thursday, he issued a comprehensive executive order to move Colorado’s transportation sector towards the future we all know is coming: electric vehicles. It’s disappointing that in 2019, this is still considered a bold move.

Everyone who supports a healthy, sustainable future should call the Governor NOW and thank him for standing up for our future! I can’t wait for electric school buses, or for Colorado to join the ten other states that have done their part by adopting zero-emission vehicle standards. With environmentally-minded leaders in place at the Capitol, we might just take down this brown cloud once and for all.

Brad Green,
