compost pick up program <br />The city newsletter is a good source of info for me. Maybe community info sessions on some of the <br />many above -listed topics. <br />I would like to see more educational opportunities from experts <br />More education on how to decarbonize <br />Resources for renewable energy options <br />All available information <br />Annual drought tolerant plant sale at reduced rates, rain garden rebates <br />A climate resource person to call on when needed. <br />I would love anything where residents and businesses could get discounted pricing by buying as a <br />block. Could we get good rates on insulation, new appliances, installing electric vehicle chargers, <br />etc.? <br />have municipality translate propose indidual owner goals to enable the Village to achieve its goals. <br />Information about funding opportunities for upgrades to home appliances and energy systems <br />Encourage Hydrogen powered vehicles, vs. electric <br />More sidewalks, organics recycling pickup <br />The city should be more supportive of alternative lawns and not restrict pollinator plantings. <br />Sidewalks <br />None <br />Educate residents on harmful effects of wood smoke so they are more aware. <br />We already do most of the ideas mentioned <br />Support to end wood burning. Partner with CenterPoint to provide interest free swap-outs on wood <br />burning stoves, fireplaces and back yard fire pits. (I.e. convert fire pits to natural gas.) Help <br />homeowners come up with and implement a home/yard/garden sustainability plan, Provide <br />volunteer opportunities, discussion groups, and opportunities for feedback to city manager, Mayor, <br />and Council. <br />City should make clear what exterior/yard alterations/practices are acceptable visually, and provide <br />how-to's info: i.e., plants vs. grass, liberal solar panel ordinances, science -based info on best watering <br />practices <br />Financial incentives <br />Information about turf grass alternatives - partner with the UMN turf grass research program to get <br />access to improved turf grass options <br />Curious about any way the city could help condominium residents to compost . I wish I could <br />compost it kitchen wastes, but dk how <br />Enforcement of existing lawn and home maintenance ordinances and creation of new ordinances <br />which encourage home and yard maintenance. <br />I'm not certain about how the how the city could support what I am already doing to my efforts to <br />conserve on water use and more efficiently manage my home and yard. <br />Transparency and accountability <br />I think this question is antithetical to community. The city is abdicating responsibility for rallying the <br />community and providing the necessary incentives and infrastructure to support climate measures. <br />I think this question is antithetical to community.
