In this TRAIN OF THOUGHT podcast, Rob Tobias interviews Linda Heyl of the environmental action group, 350 EUGENE. The interview is wide ranging and includes information about the upcoming 10 year Climate Action Plan being considered by the City of Eugene. 350 EUGENE has identified some problems with the plan and has some suggestions on how to make it better.
For comments and suggestions email rob@robtobias.com.
AN UPDATE: the city will be extending the CAP work for another 3 months, and calling on community representatives to help get a final plan that meets its goals. The city of Eugene has listened to the community!
For two years 350 EUGENE has been pushing for the community to be involved in the content development of the CAP. Now, in literally the final week when approval was scheduled, the city has acknowledged that the Draft Climate Action Plan is not complete, and will ask the community to help improve it!
The City will convene a Mayor’s Ad Hoc Committee to work for three months making the adjustments that are necessary for the CAP to reach its goals, before bringing the final CAP back to council. Representatives from the community will be included on this working committee.
