Berkeley,
California (Wednesday, June 6, 2007) - A
new report released today by the City's Climate Action Team proposes
a set of potential strategies that will help Berkeley achieve its
greenhouse gas emissions reduction target and invites the community
to play a role in developing Berkeley’s Climate Action Plan.
"The
purpose of this document is to engage our entire community in
thinking about how we can work together to identify and implement
actions that will effectively reduce greenhouse gas emissions,"
said Timothy Burroughs. "This report is a first step toward
developing the City’s Climate Action Plan and we encourage folks
to review it and share their ideas and comments.”
