Years
 To meet 2012 Goal we need to reduce
another 1.07 MMT’s, or 14%

That’s the same as:

- removing 3x our municipal fleet from
the roads,
- eliminating 90% of residential energy
usage, or….
- making Renewables 20% of our local
energy mix.
 And what about…

• Rising sea levels

• Habitat preservation and
restoration
• Our fossil fuel intensive economy
• Consumption (all that stuff we buy)
• All those jobs (green ones)
• Neighborhoods, businesses and
local politics?
 The path forward:
SFE would like to invite BC3 members to be
part of the SFCAP Advisory Board
