You may know by now, but the Town of Fairfax has adopted its new Climate Action Plan. The State of California requires every Town to address the issues of preparing to live with Climate Change, and to work to head off Climate Change. In Fairfax, we address the issue of preparing to live with the impacts of the problem in our General Plan. Then, we create a separate document, the Climate Action Plan, to talk about what we are going to do to do our part to stop the problem.
Many volunteers worked many hours to bring this plan to closure. I want to specially recognize and thank Jody Timms, who lead the effort over many months. She was ably assisted by Bruce Ackerman, Joanne Lasnier, Jennifer Hammond, and many others.
Many people in the Town provided feedback to us and to the Council. This feedback was extremely helpful, and we did our best to incorporate everything we could.
I am proud to be part of a Town willing to take responsibility for doing its part to bend the Climate Curve. I am proud to be part of a Town that carry on the Rebels with a Cause commitment to the health of our world.
Congratulations to you, the people of this Town.
And, two other things you might consider.
We were ably assisted in our work by Christine O'Rourke, of MCEP. Christine works tirelessly to support all of the Towns of Marin with our Greenhouse Gas Inventories and our Climate Action Plans. So . . . . .
Tomorrow night, Christine will be joining us at our Climate Action Committee Meeting - 7 pm by zoom - details on the Town website. Tuesday, she will be talking with us about our 2019 Inventory (sneak peek; we made no progress in 2019). Join us if you can.
Also tomorrow, Christine will be presenting at the League of Women Voters, from 11-12. There, she will be talking about Climate Action Plans around the County. This presentation will give you more insight into what others are doing, and how we are all coming together to take on this ultimate challenge. You can sign up for this event HERE.
So, I want to pat everyone on the back. I want to encourage us all to take a deep breath. And, now, it's time to get to work!
