Hello! I wanted to flag two new videos from this week that came from CAP and LCV’s partnership with NowThis. One discusses Virginia committing to reaching a 100% clean energy economy by 2050; the other explores how folks can practice regenerative gardening at home during social distancing. I’ve included social media guidance below if you would like to uplift them.

Thanks!
