Sustainable Redmond to Feature Climage Change at March 9 Meeting

Spring Meeting Series Begins with Redmond Library Session Starting at 7pm

 

Sustainable Redmond will hold its first general meeting of 2015 on March 9 at the Redmond Library at 7:00 pm.  This meeting is open to everyone and all are welcome to attend.

 

The featured speaker for this informative meeting will be Cathy Beam, Redmond's Principal Environmental Planner.  She has driven the City's climate action planning for a number of years, beginning with a municipal energy audit and inventory of the City’s greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). 

 

Cathy will provide some context regarding challenges and objectives to address climate change from the global to local level, then discuss how GHG targets are being set.  Ms. Beam has been a key member of King County’s Climate Change Coalition that has brought together a number of jurisdictions - including Redmond - to develop common policies and practices at a regional level.  This topic is particularly appropriate as State measures to reduce carbon emissions are being discussed in Olympia.

 

Bring your friends to learn more about this important environmental issue and the continuing efforts of Sustainable Redmond.  The meeting will conclude at 8:30 pm following what should be a lively general discussion.
