Implementing and expanding Portland's Climate Action Plan
This is Part 2 of Bill Resnick's interview with Mike Houck and Caitlin Lovell about the latest version of the Portland Climate Action Plan, approved earlier this year by the city council. The plan is very comprehensive, dealing with the many sources of greenhouse gas pollution and what can be done to reduce each.
The first half (available here), played last week, explored:
- Incenting local sun and wind installations and rid the planet of fossil fuel energy
- Encouraging energy efficiency in all buildings
- Integrating nature into the city to encourage walking and cool the city
- How saving the cities saves the countryside
- Job creation
This second half covers….
- The need for local initiative and local competent planning
- The need for very large reconstruction of the productive apparatus and changes of ways of life that will require diverting resources from the military and other wasteful projects.
