Did you know that Longmont emitted about 740,000 tons of CO2 from electricity production, oil, and gas, in 2016 alone? Plus, our gasoline powered vehicles emitted an additional 144,000 tons of CO2 that year. A recent study shows that Longmont has the ability to reduce its core greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 63% in 2030, but it’s going to take all of us showing up to make that happen. February is the month of love...and in addition to expressing love (in sustainable ways) to your nearest and dearest, there are some great opportunities coming up to show your love for Mother Earth here in Longmont - and make sure that we stop being a part of the problem!
Check out the City’s Simple Ways to Build Sustainability into Your Daily Life. And to encourage them to go further, tell Longmont to go all in on all-electric new home construction.
These ideas are just a sample of the growing movement in Longmont.
As they say, “Love is a Verb.”
