Climate on Tap – What Is the Carbon Footprint of Jefferson County?– Mon, Dec 7th *New* *Online*
How are we doing on reducing our carbon footprint in Jefferson County? Our first assessment was in 2005 and initiated our City/County climate action plan to reduce our carbon footprint by 80% by 2050. The inventory was updated in 2019. What is our largest carbon emitter? Home heating? Personal transportation? Government operations? Attend this session and find out! There is good news to share as well. Cindy Jayne, Chair of the Climate Action Committee, will be our guest presenter.
Each Climate on Tap is held on the first Monday of the month. It’s co-sponsored by Local 20/20 Climate Action, Jefferson County Public Health, and FinnRiver Cidery. This is not a lecture series, but a book club/discussion format. For further information email Laura Tucker or call 360-379-4491.
