City Council Hearing: Net Zero for New Boston Buildings Monday, Dec. 11, 2pm, Boston City Hall
Event Description
For many cities, buildings are the largest cause of carbon emissions. In Boston, emissions are estimated at well over 50%.
Boston has a stated goal to be carbon neutral by 2050 . . .
but 70 MILLION SQUARE FEET of new buildings are planned, almost all powered by gas, a fossil fuel.
Please join HEET and our allies on Dec 11 at 2pm at a hearing to address what Boston can and must do to build net zero carbon buildings.
Come hear net zero experts, advocates, and city officials.
Consider giving public testimony yourself.
For more details and a list of the panelists, go to BostonCleanEnergyCoalition.org.
Whether you live in Boston or nearby, we all rely on our capitol city. We need Boston to lead on climate!
