Tomorrow, Saturday February 26, from 9-12, the Climate Action Committee will be meeting to think about our work for next year. 

We will be reviewing our progress during the current fiscal year (ending in June) and developing goals for next year. 

Excitingly, we will be joined by a couple of new members of the CAC, as well as our NEW SUSTAINABILITY COORDINATOR, Sean Youra.

We hope as many of you will join us as possible. We have a lot of work to do to save the planet, and we need help. 

Here is the call in info:

One of the key pillars for Decarbonization is to electrify everything. 

Fairfax has been, and continues to be leader in this effort. 

We were the first Town to require all-electric construction for new buildings. Now, others, including the County are considering following us. 

Recently, the Town Council approved recommendations from the Police and Town staff to move forward with the purchase of Electric police vehicles and charging stations. The Town is, increasingly, Walking the Talk. 

Last week, Mayor Stephanie Hellman became one of the first Mayors in America to join the Mayors & Municipal Leaders for Electrification; a growing group of leaders from around the country working together with the non-profit group, Rewiring America, to help all of us move towards better ways of powering our lives.

Thank you, Town of Fairfax. Thank you, Town Council and Staff. Thank you, Climate Action Committee. Thank you, Mayor Hellman.

​Together, we can do what needs to be done.  

Most of us know that we are in a Code Red situation; if humanity does not reduce our collective emissions at least 50% by 2030, our children and grand-children will have a very scary future. 

The enormity of this challenge is staggering, really. It is hard for the human mind to even comprehend this reality. (HERE).
