Our Local Climate Change Position



The LWVMC supports reducing the carbon intensity of our community’s energy and transportation infrastructure in as many ways as possible. This includes educating youth and the community at large about the benefits of emissions-free technology such as solar, wind, geothermal, electric vehicles (EV’s), and heat pumps. The LWVMC also supports projects to reduce energy usage, ranging from large projects such as building code updates, insulation retrofits, public transit, and bike lanes to small changes such as LED light bulbs, caulking windows, line drying clothes, and plant-based menu options.
