Please check out this quick survey regarding your perceptions about climate change
On August 1, 2007, Bath Cool Communities, a local citizens group, asked the City Council to sign the U.S. Mayor’s Climate Protection Agreement and charge citizens and municipal employees to work together to create a Climate Action Plan specific to Bath. The Council asked the committee to work with City employees and the City Manager to create a Climate Action Plan for the City of Bath. In the summer of 2008, Cool Communities received a grant and hired a Bowdoin intern, who used a software program to determine Bath’s carbon emissions and energy use for both the government and the community at large.
This report gives the Bath Government and Bath Citizens information needed to take action and commit to reduce energy consumption and emissions.
We would like to see the community commit to reducing overall emissions reduced by at least 2% each year, achieving a goal of at least 20% reduction from 2007 levels by the year 2018. We believe this is an achievable goal and that action is necessary in light of recent increases in energy costs across the board. |
