Over the last decade, there has been an alarming increase in the transportation of crude oil in thinly walled, dangerous trains and on dated infrastructure along the shores of Lake Champlain and the Hudson River. This oil by rail transit presents unacceptable risks and virtually no benefits to the communities and natural resources along the Montreal to Albany, New York rail route and those that border the Hudson River.

Safe Cosmetics Legislation in Vermont Passing H. 308 in the Vermont Legislature Anna Tadio Project Thesis Environmental Studies College of Arts and Sciences University of Vermont Spring 2013 Advisors: Professor Stephanie Kaza (Primary Advisor) Professor Robert Bartlett Professor Amy Seidl ABSTRACT People are exposed to environmental toxins everyday. In the United States, the regulations governing environmental toxins in personal care products are not sufficient. In 2005, California passed the Safe Cosmetics Act. This act required cosmetics manufacturers to disclose to the state any ingredient that is listed on state and federal lists of chemicals, which cause cancer or birth defects. The law also required companies to release health related information about chemicals used in their products. This thesis assessed the plausibility of Vermont’s ability to pass a parallel Safe Cosmetics Act based on the California model. By working with Representative Jill Krowinski (D-Chittenden 6-3) this project thesis introduced and followed H.

  • 2011 – 2012 Scorecard
    2011-2012 LEGISLATIVE BIENNIUM VERMONT Environmental Scorecard KNOW THE SCORE he Vermont League of Conservation Voters is a T nonpartisan political organization working to turn your environmental values into state priorities. We seek to make environmental conservation a top priority for candidates, elected officials and voters HOW THE VOTES WERE SELECTED T his scorecard is based on the legislative priorities of the environmental and conservation organizations that form the Vermont Environmental Collaborative, as well as other environmental issues. Determining factors in the decision to list particular votes include whether the vote was substantive or procedural in nature, and which vote had the greatest effect on the outcome of the legislation. Please note the limitations of this report. Only roll call votes have been included, as voice votes are not recorded by name. A simple numeric score beside a legislator’s name cannot convey the depth of discussions about the issues, nor can it clearly indicate which legislators worked to protect the environment and which legislators worked to undermine environmental protections. This is particularly true when it comes to work done in the committee room. Nevertheless, the scorecard is a great resource to determine a legislator’s environmental commitment. HOW THE VOTES WERE SCORED T he scores were calculated by dividing the number of pro-environmental votes cast by the number of votes the legislator had the opportunity to cast on environmental issues. Absences were counted as a negative vote. !"#$%&'(&)*##$+'%#$,-.+#%)&"-/&" ######01&)#.+&#203"&#'4/#0456#10.&"#7+&4#.+&)&#-"#'#.-& ######+-"#%&)80),'49&#-"#40.#"90)&/:##;-(&7-"&*#"-49& ######<&%#=-55&,#>&7&..#%)&"-/&/#01&)#.+&#10.&#04 ######2:?@?#A.+&#B8)'9(-4CB#D'4E*#+&#7'"#40.#"90)&/#04 ######.+'.#10.&: HOW TO USE THIS SCORECARD VT LCV has prepared this legislative scorecard to highlight legislators’ voting records on environmental issues.
