Environment (Environmental Justice)

This bill is a commendation resolution honoring Cassandra Loftlin for her leadership in agriculture, environmental justice, and community food systems. It recognizes her work as Healthy Communities Coordinator with Savannah Riverkeeper and as Board Chair of Fresh Future Farm, where she promotes regenerative farming and equitable food access. The resolution formally acknowledges her contributions to advancing women in agriculture and improving public health outcomes through sustainable practices. It directs the House Clerk to provide a copy of the resolution to Loftlin as official recognition of her service.

This resolution (HR 67) expresses the Georgia House's support for transitioning the state to 100% clean, renewable energy by 2050. It focuses on creating green jobs, reducing energy burdens for low-income households (who spend up to 41% of income on energy), and addressing climate impacts like coastal flooding and extreme weather. While it highlights existing efforts - such as Georgia's solar growth (2,600+ MW capacity) and commitments from cities/businesses - it does not create new laws or funding. The resolution serves as a symbolic statement of support for a clean energy transition, workforce development, and environmental justice, without imposing concrete policy changes.
