 Stormwater Symposium
Red Lodge, MT | April 22nd, 2025 The amazing green team of the Red Lodge High School have been water sampling and looking for solutions realted to stormwater contamination of our precious Rock Creek. Stormwater is the main contaminant of water bodies across the world. They have city planners and researchers and organized a fantastic , science-based symposium for the entire town! Kate Belinda is an inspiring and engaging teacher. The town of Red Lodge is so blessed. MtHPHC underwrote the event.
In 2022, Congress took a historic step to address climate change and improve public health by passing the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). Together with the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, this law represents the largest investment in clean energy and climate solutions in U.S. history. Now is a vital time to protect this important legislation.
There are three vital actions you can take:
 Julia Ryder, RN, and her assistant Tilly in Helena to talk with other nurses about climate and health!
The MontanaHPHC and Montana Environmental Information Center are following a bill that would allow utility companies to be far more careless when it comes to wildfires. It releases them from any liability if their infrastructure has been the cause of wildfire. This will hurt our families and patients if their property, lives, or health is damaged by a utility-caused wildfire. . Use the Action Center below to share your thoughts with your MT House representatives. Thank you!
