Going Green in Broward County – Florida
Stacy Ritter is currently Mayor of Broward County and is amember of the Broward County Planning Council and the Fire Rescue Council as well as the official liaison between city and county governments. Broward County along with the Florida Legislature, the U.S. Congress, and governments globally are engaged in the development of initiatives to reduce the impacts of climate change. On June 12, 2007, the Borward County Board of County Commissioners adopted Resolution 2007-391 to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Boward County and to support the U.S. Mayor’s Climate Protection Agreement. This meant that they had to create a Climate Change Government Operations Workgroup to develop an action plan and provide recommendations on GHG reduction strategies. Thus, there was a formation of a Climate Change Task Force to implement recommendations for a coordinated countywide strategy in mitigating the causes and addressing the local implications of global climate change. Reducing GHG emissions is an important part of Broward County’s overall commitment to a healthy, sustainable environment. By 2015, levels should be 7 percent below what they were in 1997. The Task Force will assist residents, businesses and organizations to set goals for lower emissions as well.
Some ways that you can prevent global warming are perhaps buying a more fuel-efficient automobile, insulate your home, recycle more, replace incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs, replace your home applicances with high-efficiency models, and plant native, drought-resistant trees and shrubs around your home and outdoor air conditioning unit.
