As I'm sure you're all aware, achieving that goal is <br />going to necessitate changing from "business as usual" to creative, bold thinking. Redwood City is proving to <br />be a leader in carbon reduction — let's keep it that way! <br />Thank you for looking into this matter. <br />Carol Cross <br />Co -Convenor, Fossil Free Mid -Peninsula <br />Re: climate change: Building a world that works for everyone is exactly what we should refocus <br />our efforts on doing when we read scientific studies that scare the hell out of us. As the <br />researchers point out, there's still time that we have to take advantage of. That's why it's so <br />damn important to act boldly. allow. — Eric Holthaus <br />
