Fairfax Climate Action Committee - Mission Statement

The Mission of the Fairfax Climate Action Committee is to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions of the Town and residents of Fairfax, limiting the impacts of climate change and global warming.
 
Our goals are to:

• Lower greenhouse gas emissions to 80% below 2005 levels by 2050
• Rapidly adopt renewable energy resources while systematically eliminating fossil fuel use
• Reduce our community’s ecological footprint by encouraging zero net energy buildings, zero waste to landfill, carbon-free transportation systems, and use of locally produced goods and services

 
We achieve this through:

• Educating residents, businesses and elected officials
• Advocating adoption of ordinances, policies, and practices in Fairfax and beyond
• Inspiring community involvement and effective actions
• Providing accurate and actionable information through the Greenhouse Gas Meter
• Initiating programs that engage residents, community organizations and local agencies to actively work together to achieve the Committee’s goals
