Seattle Climate Action Now
Working together, Seattle CAN make a difference!
Here in Seattle, there is a growing recognition that global warming isn't just a problem for future generations to worry about; it is a threat to our city and our planet that we must start addressing today.
It's a big challenge, and for most of us, the question is “What can I do to stop global warming?” Thanks to Seattle Climate Action Now, the answer is getting easier.
Seattle Climate Action Now is an exciting effort to give everyone in Seattle the tools needed to start making a real difference at home, at work, and on the road. It will bring you together with people across the street and across town to take action to protect the climate for all of us and for future generations.
Getting involved is simple. By taking easy, practical steps that improve our quality of life today, we're also creating a brighter future for our children.
Get started by:
- Calculating your carbon footprint
- Developing your own climate action plan
- Finding climate protection resources and ideas
- Participating with your friends and neighbors in one of the many upcoming events
Seattle Climate Action Now is a City-led effort, but is grounded in partnerships with businesses, organizations and individuals throughout Seattle. So whether you're adding insulation to your home or you're going car-free one day a week, you will be contributing to a broad, communitywide effort to address climate change.
We already know the power of community action here in Seattle when it comes to protecting our environment. We use less water today than we did in 1975, even though our population has grown by 25 percent. And, in 2005 Seattle recycled 44 percent of its waste, well on its way to a goal of 60 percent by 2012.
When we work together we can tackle a serious challenge like climate change. We can build a stronger community today and leave behind a greener tomorrow for our children and their children. Working together, Seattle CAN make a difference!
