Subject:Support: Clean Energy Choice for New Buildings
Mayor Harmon and council members:
I write in support of the proposed reach code to build clean, healthy, and low-carbon homes. The city has adopted a
carbon neutral by 2035 target and if we are serious about that target we must take bold action. Decarbonizing the built
environment is NOT optional if we intend to meet this goal. In addition we will need aggressive action on reducing
driving.
The opponents to the reach code are misinformed and in some cases are purposefully spreading disinformation. You
have a clear mandate to take action on climate change. Please support the reach code. Thank you.
