City of Redwood City
“The [Community Climate Action] Plan encourages and provides tools for residents and local business to take a real leadership role, together with the City, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and curb the impacts of global warming. It’s only through such a partnership that progress can be made – from single-family-homes to apartment buildings; from individual blocks to entire neighborhoods; and from large and small businesses to Redwood City’s municipal operation. Together, with the full participation and involvement of all sectors of the community, we can achieve positive community action on climate change.” – Redwood City Community Climate Action Plan
