A clean and green Takoma Park

We have made progress in promoting clean energy and keeping our city green and resilient and should not lose momentum. Takoma Park can continue expanding ways to promote clean energy use, including further electrifying its fleet, expanding city-supported electric-vehicle charging infrastructure, and combining multifamily building upgrades with energy-efficiency modifications and electrification. Support for making our homes more energy-efficient is another way to contribute to broader climate goals. Our stormwater spending improves flood control and the water quality in our creeks. Our decades-long commitment to maintaining our tree canopy makes our city livable for people, helps control heat in homes and on sidewalks, contributes to reducing climate impacts, and provides sanctuary for the region's resident and migratory wildlife. As we support these goals, we must work to ensure all our wards benefit equitably from Takoma Park being a clean and green city.
