    Join Seattle’s Climate Action Conversation

    On February 25, the Office of Sustainability & Environment will launch “Community Climate Forums”, a quarterly opportunity for residents and grassroots sustainability organizations to provide on-going feedback on the City’s climate action work.

    The forums will be moderated by Jill Simmons, Director of the Office of Sustainability & Environment.

    The general format will be in two parts:

    1. The City will open up a conversation on a key climate action focus area and engage the community in a dialogue on specific city actions and/or policy development.
    2. The community will then present community-led projects and priorities with a special focus on how they support Seattle’s climate goals and where the City can support or coordinate with the community for best results.

    The February 25 Community Climate Forum will feature remarks by Councilmembers Mike O’Brien and Sally Bagshaw and Ray Hoffman, Director of Seattle Public Utilities to engage attendees in a dialogue around SPU’s climate action work in 2014.

  • SCALLOPS Responds to City Climate Action Plan

    SCALLOPS Responds to City Climate Action Plan

    legislationSustainable Ballard’s Legislation for Sustainability team recently participated in a collaborative formulation of formal feedback to the City on its Climate Action Plan, on behalf of SCALLOPS (Sustainable Communities ALL Over Puget Sound).

    The Climate Action Plan is the document in which the City describes the areas it intends to address and steps it intends to take in order to move the City toward carbon neutrality and a healthy, sustainable future. A big thank you to Julia Park, Jody Grage and Tom Sheehan who responded speedily and contributed to the formulation of the SCALLOPS response.
