Environmental Caucus

The Environmental Caucus of the Arkansas Citizens' First Congress is a coalition of environmental groups from across the state collaborating to advance policies that protect our air, land and water. 

Co-Chairs: George Wise and Gary Kahanak

2020-22 priority issues:

• Pass an Arkansas Dark Skies Act that increases the use of shielded outdoor lighting to reduce light pollution and increase energy efficiency.

• Implement the new Arkansas State Water Plan and protect water quantity, quality and aquatic environments.

• Address climate change by expanding energy efficiency and renewable energy reforms that reduce carbon pollution, save consumers money and create jobs.
