Green Campaign Pledge

​

Lorig has pledged to run a green campaign.  This gives concrete evidence of her commitment to climate change action, shows she can “walk the walk,” and challenges other candidates to do so, too.

​

Lorig’s campaign has pledged to:

​

• Print campaign literature on recycled paper with soy-based inks.

• Eliminate campaign swag that is not recyclable (such as plastic items and bags, balloons).

• Locate campaign events, when possible, to be accessible by public transit (or biking or walking), and advertise that fact (with directions).

• Carpool volunteers to events and field work, when possible.

• Drive a Prius or small, energy efficient car with good mileage rating, when necessary.

• Hold events with sustainable supplies, using compostable, recyclable, or reusable and Styrofoam-free products, and offering a non-meat options. Serve food prepared by local businesses with short food supply chains, whenever possible.

• Eliminate one-serving plastic water bottles at campaign events and for volunteer events.
