The Sierra Club praised Mayor Jablin for signing on to the U.S. Mayors Climate Protection agreement, joining more than 850 other mayors nationwide who are taking real action to re-energize their communities with proven innovative local energy solutions such as cleaner car fleets, energy efficiency and renewable energy. LOCAL MAYOR QUOTE IF AVAILABLE GOES HERE. So far, over 850 mayors representing over 79 million Americans in 50 states, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia have signed the U.S. Mayors Climate Protection Agreement, pledging to reduce global warming carbon dioxide pollution in their cities to 7 percent below 1990 levels by 2012. (For more information on the Mayors agreement, see www.ci.seattle.wa.us/mayor/climate/). "Mayor Jablin and Vice Mayor Levy are to be commended for their leadership in curbing the city's global warming pollution," said SIERRA CLUB volunteer, Lucille Lanpher. "But if we are going to be a cool city and meet our pollution reduction goals by 2012, we will need to expand our existing package of energy and taxpayer-saving solutions to include cleaner vehicles in the citys fleet, making our buildings more energy efficient, and investing in renewable energy. Todays news conference is part of the Sierra Clubs national Cool Cities campaign to encourage cities to take action to solve global warming one city at a time. The Sierra Club has released a guide, Cool Cities: Solving Global Warming One City at a Time, a resource for citizens and local officials who are ready to take action to reduce energy waste and heat-trapping global warming pollution. The guide tells success stories from a broad range of cities, from hybrid car municipal fleets in Houston and Charlotte, to energy efficient street lights and buildings in Salt Lake City and Scottsdale, Arizona, and to renewable energy investments in Waverly, Iowa and Columbia, Missouri. The guide is available online at sierraclub.org/coolcities. _______________________________________________ Florida EAA mailing list [email protected] http://www.floridaeaa.org
