Subject:Support of Clean Energy Choice
Dear San Luis Obispo City Council,
As a homeowner and business owner living here in the City of San Luis Obispo, I support and encourage the
adaptation of the Clean Energy Choice Program for San Luis Obispo. The construction and building industry
contributes an astounding 40% of global greenhouse gas emissions across the planet and 25% of the
greenhouse gas emissions here in our city. Achieving the proposed measures outlined in the Clean Energy
Choice Program are easy in practice, cost-effective, healthy for our clients and subcontractors, economically-
wise for long-term business (there is no business on a dead planet), and a responsibility our industry must
finally embrace for the health and viability of our future generations. It is also a major step forward toward the
one of the stated SLO City goals to deal with climate change.
I completely support our city's agenda to become carbon neutral 2035, and this is a major step towards
achieving that goal. There is a lot of development happening in our city, and this is a chance to make that a
cleaner process and become leaders in our country with a model for other cities to follow.
Thank you,
Nancy Douglas
