~ The City of Long Beach is celebrating the first anniversary of the establishment of the Office of Climate Action and Sustainability (Office) and adoption of the Long Beach Climate Action Plan (LB CAP) with two days of environmental awareness and unified action. To increase awareness of the actions Long Beach residents, businesses and industries can take to contribute to greenhouse gas emissions reductions, the City is inviting the community to participate in Zero Emissions Day on Thursday, Sept. 21, and California Clean Air Day on Wednesday, Oct. 4.
Mayor Rex Richardson said "The City Council passed the Long Beach Climate Action Plan to create a roadmap to reduce our city's greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate the impacts of climate change. A year after its adoption, the work is underway with the staff, resources, and momentum to take action. Led by the Office of Climate Action and Sustainability, the City is now organized to centrally coordinate interdepartmental efforts for LB CAP implementation and, in the coming year, this team will be calling on our residents, businesses, and industries to take steps to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions."
