Columbus is a Cool City
Did you know Columbus is a Cool City? According to the Sierra Club website, this means that Mayor Michael Coleman has officially signed the U.S. Mayor's Climate Protection Agreement. So what does that mean? The web site says:"This commits the city to reducing its global warming emissions 7% below 1990 levels - an emissions reduction equal to what is required under the Kyoto Protocol."
And how is that supposed to happen? By "Implementing Smart Energy Solutions." That means investing in green buildings, fuel efficient city fleets, and powering homes with renewable energy.
What do you think? Are we making progress? What else could we be doing?
