Implementing <br />any carbon reduction initiatives will just lower the quality of life in the Village and cost the tax <br />payers money. <br />Better recycling options and reducing plastic use; getting people to focus on reducing emissions <br />and other pollutants in the air <br />Water quality, reduced chemicals in Central Park and Wilshire Park, walking/biking paths <br />Monitor air quality with devices placed around city and educate people on ways to improve it . <br />Recreational fires are contributing, especially outdoors. The city should address how they are <br />polluting the air and ban them. Produce documentation on the toxins in wood smoke, include articles <br />in the city newsletter to educate people on the harmful effects. <br />Protecting vulnerable folks, reducing carbon footprint <br />Water wasting - the city watches our water usage on a micro level while at the same time the <br />maintenance crews waste tremendous amounts of water when opening all the water hydrants to <br />flush them out . We had our street tore up last summer and they opened the hydrant up and let the <br />water (thousands of gallons) run down the street to relieve the pressure in the water lines. I <br />suggested to our city water management that they use the water to either fill up the city water truck <br />or to hook a fire hose to it and water the lawns in the vicinity. Basically they told me to buzz off. <br />Clean air, clean water, preservation of infrastructure and green space, Better care (i.e. watering) our <br />tree canopy. Sustainability. Use a no water/ no chemical turf or other plants to replace traditional <br />lawns. Help homeowners come up and implement a home/yard/garden sustainable plan, Help <br />vulnerable segments of our population. Build community resiliency and sustainability, <br />Solar. Reducing water usage; offering curb side organics collection <br />Carbon neutrality of all city-owned facilities/vehicles <br />Electrify city fleet , add solar panels to city owned buildings, offer incentives to residents trying to <br />add solar panels to their houses <br />AUse of solar & wind technology in any new or upgrading of city infrastructure. Enhanced <br />accessibility to safe & reliable public transit . <br />Better walking and biking paths that are safe, smart , and accessible. Accessible electric charging <br />stations for cars. <br />Create a program for education about air source heat pumps and home electrification including <br />some grant funding and sending out a list of good contractors who do this work so residents are <br />ready to electrify the day something breaks! Also what is the plan for not locking into future <br />emissions with natural gas infrastructure improvements - Can we do a city wide geothermal system?
