Massachusetts, already a national leader in energy efficiency, is poised to take a big step in accelerating the transition to clean energy as proposed legislation for carbon pricing gains support.

A forum on the proposed carbon fee will be held at the Westwood Public Library, 660 High Street, Westwood at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, May 3.

The presenters will discuss the need for a carbon pricing program, how it works, who will be impacted, and what it will mean for Massachusetts. Speakers are Marc Breslow, Acting Director of Climate Xchange, and Cathy Buckley, Chair of the Massachusetts Sierra Club.

The event is co-sponsored by the LWV-Westwood-Walpole-Dedham, LWV-Needham, LWV-Hingham, and LWV-Sharon-Stoughton.
