Task Force Overview

A group of Mayor-appointed citizens, the Environmental Sustainability Task Force has helped the City shape its sustainability goals. The Task Force convened in February 2008 and concluded its work in September 2008.

Mission:
To recommend achievable short-term and long-term community-wide actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and create a sustainable environment.
Goal:
To meet or exceed California's requirements for emissions reduction.

More and more people are concerned about the negative environmental effects of greenhouse gas emissions, energy and water use, and waste production. If you would like to help the Task Force collect information and prepare its recommendations report, please join us at an upcoming meeting.
