Read the REPORT of our trip! On March 14th, 2010, six members of the Amherst 350 group went to Washington D.C. where we spent Monday lobbying with staffers of our senators and Representative John Olver. We are the second group headed up to D.C. in partnership with  Pioneer Valley Climate’s 350 Campaign. We promoted ‘cap-and-dividend’, (a more climate friendly version of cap-and-trade), and encouraged them to support legislation that will move us closer to our goal of 350 parts per million CO2 in the atmosphere.
