Burlingame town hall meeting Saturday on climate plan

Terry Nagel, councilwoman of Burlingame, deserves real kudos for ushering this process towards fruition.

The Burlingame Green Ribbon Task Force will hold a town hall meeting from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday at the Burlingame Recreation Center, 850 Burlingame Ave. Those in attendance will get a glimpse of draft recommendations of the Climate Action Plan for reducing the city’s carbon footprint by focusing on small changes people can make at home or within a business. Opinions will be gathered regarding the various options to shape recommendations to be made to the City Council this summer.

“There are additional benefits to the Climate Action Plan recommendations besides reducing our greenhouse emissions. Many of the recommended climate action plan strategies we are considering can also save residents and businesses money by reducing energy waste,” said Burlingame Councilwoman Terry Nagel, who serves as the Green Ribbon Task Force chair.

The focus is on easy ways to create energy and water efficiency for both residents and businesses.
