I am very concerned about the potential effects of global warming on our community. Now is the time to take action. We can reduce costs, stimulate the clean tech economy, and protect our childrens’ future.
Much can be done at a local level. I would like to see our city calculate our entire community's greenhouse gas emissions and develop a comprehensive set of solutions to achieve the necessary emissions reductions locally. Global warming requires comprehensive action from all levels of government; it cannot be solved by the federal and state governments alone.
While working towards a comprehensive climate action plan, there are some clear steps which can immediately put us on the path to reducing global warming pollution and spurring innovation. Buildings account
for close to 40% of global greenhouse gas emissions.
I urge you to implement the Mayors Climate Protection Agreement and adopt leading-edge green building innovations. New buildings will impact our community emissions for decades. We need to make them more energy-efficient right now.
Sincerely,
Send me emails to keep me updated on the campaign.
