June 7 is the last day that H.B. 6607 could be called for a vote. Urge your Senator to act fast! Thanks to your advocacy, H.B. 6607 now has an incredible 30 co-sponsors from across Connecticut. This includes 3 new senate co-sponsors: Saud Anwar (D-3rd), Jan Hochadeland (D-13th), and Ceci Maher (D-26th). But this is no guarantee the bill will pass. Tell your senator, H.B. 6607 is a bipartisan, money-saving bill that would save the lives of thousands of migratory birds in Connecticut by requiring all state-owned buildings to shut off their non-essential outdoor lights from 11:00 pm to 6:00 am year round. The CT Office of Fiscal Analysis estimates it will save our state at least $1.3 MILLION PER YEAR. And we estimate it could save 4.4 MILLION POUNDS of CO2 per year. That's the equivalent of 444 gasoline-powered passenger vehicles driven for one year. Thank you for taking action TODAY to protect migratory birds! Sincerely, The Lights Out Team https://actionnetwork.org/letters/pass-hb-6607-the-bipartisan-lights-out-ct-bill
