ENVIRONMENT DAY 2020 NM STATE LEGISLATURE Kids singing

Every year, dozens of environment and community groups rally at the Capitol and train hundreds of New Mexicans on how to lobby their legislators.

More than 500 environmental activists descended on the New Mexico Roundhouse on Tuesday to learn about critical climate, air, land and wildlife legislation, get tips on lobbying their elected representatives and hear heartbreaking testimonials of those living with the everyday consequences of oil, gas and coal extraction.

Key legislation being considered this session, including:

-- Community solar

-- tax credits for rooftop solar and electric vehicles

-- and energy-efficiency funding for low-income residents.
