Cool Cities Petition
I've written before about the drive to get Springfield to join the Cool Cities program by signing unto the US Council of Mayors Climate Protection Agreement. The Cool Cities program calls for cities to take action on their own to reduce global warming emissions.
The first steps after, the Mayor decides to make Springfield a Cool City, are to conduct an inventory to find out where most of our global warming emissions are coming from and then work with citizens to develop a community action plan to reduce our cities' carbon footprint.
One way we're building and showing support for Cool Cities is a petition that already has several hundred signatories. If you'd like to help you can download the petition here.
The best way to return it is to attend the next Cool Cities meeting on Tuesday, December 4, 6pm, Lincoln Library 3rd Floor, Bicentennial Room. Or, you can give it to one of the committee members.
