Hello, thank you for uploading this for the public to see. I just wanted to point out the audio is very very low which makes it hard to understand.

Well deserved, Kady! We see all you do to make our world a better place and are so grateful!!! You are a blessing to Illinois and beyond!!

I imagine I am not on the list of lawyers who regularly agree with IDNR. Even so, it is good to see protection of private landowner rights by IDNR. One would hope our Courts would say that the public is allowed access to water for whatever uses ONLY from public lands- not from privately owned land. A right to trespass on another's land, so as to access a body of water said to be navigable and therefore public, cannot possibly be the law in Illinois nor would we think the law will ever be interpreted that way in the future. That view is not about curtailing public access; we just do not approve of trespass. We believe in private ownership of land. Public Trust doctrine and riparian rights are great! Thanks for covering these issues. I did not know about the pre-constitution Northeast ordinance of 1787 and I studied water law. Interesting discussion. We still have a spirit of liberty here in Illinois- it just doesn't include trespassing on private land. Thanks for the talk.

You have really turned IEC into an impactful significant organization for positive needed change. Thank you, Jen!!

What we appreciate appreciates as is seen in IEC. Sustainability is so important as is clean air and water. Unburdening our people from pollution is the righteous thing to do. Thanks for caring about our environment, Illinois! Having a seat at the table is what IEC has accomplished. Environmentalists at the table was sure missing when I worked for Illinois EPA decades ago. Great growth for a great cause. Nice to talk of the soul of Chicago. We have impactful souls in the Land of Lincoln dedicated to democracy and a healthy environment in and out of Chicago. Thank you, all!

Great to see the great work being done in Illinois to protect the environment. What a great impact of IEC and the member organizations. Great to see such impactful people honored. Go Kady! Go Green Caucus! Go IEC. Go good legislators! Great job! Volunteers and voters who care make all the difference too!

awesome to have such great impactful people in the Land of Lincoln. Congrats to IEC and the well deserving award winners! No sacrifice zones! Thank you!

what a great success. Thank you all and thank you voters of Illinois.

Wow what are you people putting in the water , ??? Does anyone in that town actually look at what's happening ??

I am so proud of my daughter Kady!!! You are truly making a difference.

This dude is a clown

[1:19] nice! Glad it's paying off

Best of luck

good reminder

Awesome Job, Maddie!! Maddie is an Eco Ambassador with Faith in Place.

Great job, Pastor Onque', Policy Director at Faith in Place! Faith in Place is the Illinois, Indiana & Wisconsin affiliate of Interfaith Power and Light (IPL). Environmental Justice is what we Need, Let's say NO to corporate greed!!

So wonderful to see all the dedicated citizens who came for Lobby Day! Wish I could have joined you this year. We need to take care of the earth, each other and all the beautiful plants and animals - I'm not aware of any other nice planets that we can move to!! Thank you all!

Thanks for your much needed story Ms. Smith-Cox! It punctures the hot air balloon fearmongering of the troglodytes who claim that farming and renewables can't coexist and be beneficial to farmers. Be well!

Thank you Karen! I hope many people listen to you and understand that clean energy is a win-win for our farmers!

Thank you Karen Smith-Cox! We all need common-sense folks like you!

Love this. Thank you.

I heard that the airport has fenced off this grassland, please do not let that airport erase the grassland from existence

Thank you for this, however, is no one going to acknowledge, yet alone address, the lost acreage due to Coal Long-wall mining?

Great presentation and explanations of CEJA and the weatherization programs. Thank you.

SAVE BELL BOWL PRAIRIE!

Thank you IEC for being instrumental in building political will for clean energy, clean air and healthy soil in Illinois.

He earned it.

Successful people prioritize. 1. End pandemic 2. Make Illinois first Midwest state to adopt carbon-free electric grid. Fix one problem before creating a new one.

It has taken the United States fifteen years to build the latest nuclear generating plant of size, in Georgia. Plant Vogtle units 3 and 4 will be the first new nuclear units built in the United States, hundreds of new jobs. Harvest Ridge wind facility in Illinois has taken nearly twelve years to build, represented to power 68, 000 homes at full capacity. During the recent heat wave in Central Illinois with little wind, the turbines were either at a standstill, or turning at very reduced rate. If we are serious about the climate and clean energy we had best get serious about nuclear energy. While individually these turbines occupy little ground, together they occupy and disrupt considerable acreage. Do your homework, wind and solar are not going to carry their own water. If cities still have lead in their water pipes, it's their own fault. The federal government cannot be expected bail out the failed leadership in these communities.

Jen's Team is a gem in Springfield!

Does IEC believe that 2050 is a sustainable date? Greens can get to renewable energy by 2030.

It went from chasing Industry General Iron out of Lincoln park to Chasing them out of the City I Think That The city should be ashamed of chasing Industry out of the City and the jobs it provides.

1) By reflecting away 30% of ISR the albedo, which would not exist w/o the atmosphere, makes the earth cooler than it would be without the atmosphere like that reflective panel set on the dash. Remove the atmosphere/GHGs and the earth becomes much like the moon, a barren rock with a 0.1 albedo, 20% more kJ/h, hot^3 on the lit side, cold^3 on the dark. Nikolov, Kramm (U of AK) and UCLA Diviner mission all tacitly agree. 2) the GHG up/down welling, “trapping”/”back” radiating/delaying/intercepting, 100 % efficient, perpetual warming loop requires "extra" energy which according to RGHE theory it gets from 3) the terrestrial surface radiating that "extra" energy as a near ideal .95 emissivity black body which 4) it cannot do because of the non-radiative heat transfer processes of the contiguous atmospheric molecules. 1+2+3+4 = 0 Greenhouse Effect + 0 Greenhouse gas warming + 0 man caused climate change.

You want to chase more jobs out of Chicago?isn't general iron planning on building a frag plant? Frank plants are the most efficient way to recycle metal. Recycling is the best thing you can do for the environment

You want to name these coal plants that failed because the stockpile iced up? Are you trying to say that they don't have dozers working the stockpile everyday. I'm going to call BS on that unless you give me specifics

Hey there! I liked your work a lot. I've been trying to search for a KZfaq video like yours that teaches the ideas in this KZfaq vid! 👩‍⚕️ The part at 1:28 is my fav. Your vid is like the channel from this awesome Dr Ethan. Doctor's videos are useful and I actually learned a lot for my school! He is the most knowledgable Doctor on KZfaq and he teaches wellness and health. I suggest you check out his YT out and give the health enthusiast a subscribe! ➡️ #DrEthanEducational

what about localized natural gas plants by creating via fermentation of ocean plants

Woo-Hoo!

Thank you so much for hosting this! It was a great opportunity to meet other clubs and organizations across Illinois!

Awesome!

It is extremely critical that community voices are heard with the issues that impact our communities. What are larger institutions to ensure community voices are heard?

ilenviro.org/takeaction = for convenience.

Southern Illinois can be zero degrees n 50 degrees all in one week

how much power are you loosing by putting the row of solar panel on the shaded left side of roof instead of putting that row on the right side?

Congratulations can't wait for our Environmental Justice communities have community solar for our folks.

Hello there! Thanks a lot for this helpful video. By the way, I hear a lot of people keep on talking about Xobotano Home Energy (search on google), but I'm not sure if it is good. Have you thought about this alternative home energy known as Xobotano Home Energy? I've heard several amazing things about it.
