I'm at the max capacity of electrical usage until I change the capacity coming into my house to allow <br />changing gas appliances to electric in both my duplex units (my house was built in 1966). I was <br />astounded at how expensive the quote to do that was. If there would be a process by which we <br />could negotiate with a company or two to do those kind of changes for many homes at reduced <br />prices, that would be helpful. Also, info about switching from gas heat/electric AC to air or ground <br />source heat pump (the ground source is most efficient , but I don't feel like I know what that change <br />would entail). <br />Continue and increase awareness and education on these ways to green your home and <br />environment . Using city facilities and even schools are a great way to do this. Don’t skip schools <br />because it is a separate entity. They are a key part of the community and a way to reach families and <br />young people. <br />Education and prompts to encourage change, incentives or recognition, help with learning about tax <br />credit and rebates, and see the city lead by example by making decisions based on climate action <br />and sustainable reasoning. <br />Resource like the commercial Utility Design EDA program for residential home decision making. <br />Pollenator Pathway-like sponsorship for conversion to bee -friendly lawn. Curbside composting. <br />None <br />To be a leader for the residents to demand and enforce vital, needed changes to our current way of <br />life. <br />Continue to inform home owners about resources, e.g. rain barrels, compost bins <br />wish to be informed on meetings; have option to watch online zoom. <br />Curbside compostible waste pickup <br />Resources for renters <br />I am not sure, energy efficiency help at house might help, I do not know what I actually need. <br />a place/person to go to for information on rebates, tax refunds, preferred vendors, etc. <br />More EV charging stations <br />Direct info on what the city offers to us. <br />financial incentives for greener landscaping, household projects, etc <br />what options are there for low impact wind renewable energy sources to utilize at my residence <br />Subsidies or tax breaks for energy efficiency improvements, solar panels and artificial turf / bee <br />lawns / pollinator gardens; commitment to increase & improve bike / pedestrian paths. <br />None <br />As I wrote above, I have seen mixed information on acceptable recycling, particularly in regards to <br />plastics. Ramsey County has a list which is not in sync with the website for the hauler that my HOA <br />is using. It is important to me to recycle as much as possible, but not to engage in “wish cycling.” <br />A convenient , attainable composting plan. Initiatives for taking action on climate change. Initiatives <br />from the city to encourage businesses to change their ways (there's only so much I can do as a <br />consumer). <br />recently added solar panels and city didn't offer any incentive? allow trees in right of way? <br />rain barrels <br />I don't have any personal climate goals, and don't need any. <br />More policy and city management change <br />Coordinate community efforts for a solar garden, or similar project - subsidize residential energy <br />updates, create a packet /binder of resources and vendors we can utilize <br />Possibly a subsidy program that helps transition change for better water use, energy use, and <br />appliance use. <br />General education - either from classes or communication resources <br />more information about replacing water heaters and heat pumps so when a item fails the resident <br />has information to make the best solution to conserve energy. Encourage residents to be proactive
