Dear REI: Hiking & PFAS Chemicals Don't Belong Together
Hi REI,
I just gotta say, I've been shopping at REI for about six years, I love your equipment and the folks who work at your stores are extremely helpful.
I'm writing about PFAS chemicals used in outdoor gear. This stuff is... well, to call it crap would be polite. And the ironic thing is I've used your gear to go to places of amazing beauty and purity.

Climate Action Now!
Together, with our amazing phone canvass team, we’re urging all legislators to support and pass these bills by the end of session on May 9th. Join us to fight for bold climate action now!!

Ramping Up Energy Efficiency for People and the Planet!

As a member of Clean Water Action’s CT Energy Network, I’ve had the opportunity to learn more about state programs on energy efficiency and renewables, connect with other energy task force leaders across the state and share best practices that we can help implement in our towns.
