In last night's meeting, the Prospect Park Association approved
the climate action plan. We are the first neighborhood in
Minneapolis to create such a plan! Yeah, us!
*****
Curious about the plan,
but just want the highlights? It’s BASIC, really -
Bold – Our
mission is to achieve sustainability and resiliency through a local, strategic
and measurable initiative.
Achievable –
Our first goal is a 20% reduction in natural gas use in Prospect Park by 2025.
Strategic – We start by focusing on home energy use. This
gives us time to mature communications and metrics, develop contacts within
sub-neighborhoods and partner with key stakeholders.
Inclusive –
We have 9 sub neighborhoods that house homeowners, renters and
students. Everyone is important. Everyone is part of
this.
Community driven –
Neighbors helping neighbors to have more energy secure lives, with actions
ranging from energy audits to classes to home energy improvements.
Want to be part of saving the world?
