Lorefice decided to take the CNY Carbon Challenge, which was launched by CCAA earlier this year. The Carbon Challenge is a seven-step process where people evaluate their carbon footprint and then work through different ways to reduce it. Lorefice credits Annalena Davis for laying out the challenge in a simple way, which he said made it easier for him to complete. While it felt a bit overwhelming at times, Lorefice is glad he decided to go through with the challenge because it forced him to reflect on his lifestyle.
CCAA continues to promote the N.Y. state legislation CCPA (Climate and Community Protection Act). Members of CCAA and CNY Solidarity Climate Justice attended the regional hearing on the CCPA hosted by N.Y. Senator Rachel May on February 21st in Syracuse. Senator May (SD-53) is a co- sponsor of the CCPA and is also a member of the Environmental Conservation Committee.
