MORE ACTION → LESS HOT AIR!

BayCAP Resolution
Presented to BAAQMD

Thursday, May 9th was a big day for our Bay Climate Action Plan team. After months of our work and preparation, around 20 of us filled the room at the Climate Protection Committee meeting of the BAAQMD (the "Air District").

We officially presented our Resolution (it's powerful, take a look) and requested they act on their mission by adopting an aggressive Climate Action Plan by July 2014 to reduce Bay Area greenhouse gas emissions to 80% below 1990 levels by 2050.

Now the work continues...

South Bay/ Peninsula group met on 12/12 in Palo Alto. Here is a shorteed version of Lisa Altieri’s meeting notes.

Notes from 12/12 meeting: We opened the meeting with introductions and learned that we had people attending from Redwood City to San Jose, with all different backgrounds and levels of experience with 350.org. … We discussed possible initial projects and actions and decided to form the following 5 initial working groups:

1) Divestment: Work with the 350.org Divestment project. For more information go to the 350.org project page http://gofossilfree.org/. Project Leader Shirley Eglington

2) Keystone XL: 350.org project to Stop the Keystone Pipeline
Project Leader Pierre Delforge

3) Carbon Tax/Carbon Subsidies: 350.org has a project page for ending fossil fuel subsidies http://endfossilfuelsubsidies.org/
Project Leader Bruce Jones, & Jane Melia

4) Outreach and Membership Coordination: The goal of the outreach project is to hold events to raise awareness and bring in new membership to get involved in the other projects.
Project Leader Lisa Altieri

5) Tech Team (Website, communications tools, etc.) – Project Leader TBD for now contact Lisa Altieri Another project discussed but not included at this time was Local Action projects (lobbying for bike lanes, organize locally for green energy, holding an energy efficiency or Low Carbon Diet class, etc). ,,, We also discussed group structure and decided we would start off with a very project focused structure with a Coordinating Committee which would include Project Leaders… Everyone at the meeting signed up for one of the above projects…. We are looking for more people to join the tech team, if you can help with this (even if you are on another project), please let me know! Next Steps: All project groups and the Coordinating Committee to meet in January and begin to develop and plan project efforts and gear up for a group launch meeting tentatively scheduled for the end of January/beginning of February. There is a national day of action on the Keystone XL on 2/17, the Keystone project group is planning a day of action rally here locally for those not able to travel to DC
