Why Climate Action Now?

Energy use is costly to your pocketbook and your environment. Burning fossil fuels for energy generates greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, which lead to global warming and climate change.

The governments of Jefferson County and Port Townsend, Washington, have pledged to help the community reduce its GHG emissions to levels 80% lower than 1990 levels by 2050. Making this a reality requires individual commitment. We believe that the citizens of Jefferson County CAN rise to this challenge!
