Prove IT Act - Action Requested

CCL's Climate Action Program is asking us to please send an email to Senator Schatz and Senator Hirono asking them to cosponsor the PROVE IT Act of 2023 - S.1863 has eight bipartisan original cosponsors – it would be great to add both of our Hawaii senator's names to this legislation.

Add your request please visit... https://citizensclimatelobby.org/get-loud-take-action/prove-it-act
It's quick and easy, and effective. Sample email wording is provided, which you are encouraged to personalize for even greater effect.

Gotta love how bills get named; PROVE IT = “Providing Reliable, Objective, Verifiable Emissions Intensity and Transparency” The link above gives a “translation” er.. explanation.
