Positive steps for reducing the region's carbon footprint

The GreenCityBlueLake Institute is in the process of measuring and finding solutions to reduce the carbon footprint for Northeast Ohio. As part of the process, we are developing transition plans for key sectors, including energy generation, buildings, and transportation. To inform the work, we will be organizing work groups of community leaders in each sector and offering other opportunities for public input during Fall 2008.

These transition plans will allow us to better understand the changes and investments that will be needed in the coming decades for our region to respond to anticipated federal regulations on greenhouse gas emissions, while successfully reducing carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions and positioning our region to create jobs and wealth.
