Boston maps route to being carbon-free by 2050

The city has released a summary of its Carbon Free Boston report, with the full report to follow in March. The Green Ribbon Commission report identifies three strategies to meet the city’s goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2050:

1. deepen energy efficiency while reducing demand 
2. electrify as much possible
3. purchase 100 percent clean energy

In its most recent newsletter, Boston Climate Action Network sums up what happens next:

Much work remains to turn the CFB’s report into an actionable plan. Chris Cook, Boston’s Chief of Environment, Energy, and Open Space, said his department will spend 6–8 months gathering “massive public input” on priorities and implementation details. Raising awareness will be critical, too, even among professionals in related industries.

Let’s do our part to make sure Roslindale contributes to the “massive public input”. What do you think the city should do? And what should GreeningRozzie do to help the process? Let us know!
