One of the great things about living in Seattle has been the city's activism related to climate change. Not only is there an emphasis on sustainable development and increasing density within the city limits, but also a city-sponsored Environmental Action Agenda to reduce the city's GHG emissions.
"The City will reduce its climate pollution through broad-ranging strategies including investing in transportation choices, encouraging compact communities, promoting clean energy and conservation, leading by example, and inspiring others to take action."
It's definitely exciting to see large cities with significant carbon footprints, like Los Angeles and Seattle, taking the necessary steps to help fight climate change.
