Publisher
Skagit County Climate Action and Sustainability Taskforce
Date

Summary
The
Skagit
County
Commissioners
understand
that
Climate
Change
is
an
immediate
problem
that
needs
tackling
at the
local
level
. They have
established
a
Taskforce
to
recommend
suitable
strategies
. In
creating
these
recommendations
, the
Taskforce
is
mindful
that
Skagit
County
government
has
no
direct
control
over
climate
pollution
from
transportation
and
electricity
generation
.
Statewide
,
such
sources
constitute
two-thirds
of the
problem
, and the
County
should
strongly
support
state
and
federal
mandates
to
tackle
these
major
issues
. For the
things
we
can
influence
, the
Taskforce
has
devised
policies
and
projects
that will
enable
county
government
to
establish
a
leadership
role
in
local
sustainable
practices
. The
Taskforce’s
mandate
was to
identify
ways
our
county
, as
individuals
and as a
local
government
,
can
:
Use
energy
more
efficiently
and
therefore
use
less
Encourage
the
use
of
renewable
energy
Reduce
energy
use
through
building
codes
Provide
carbon
sequestration
through
land
use
policy
Reduce
commute
miles
through
improved
urban
and
rural
planning
Provide
better
mass
transit
opportunities
and
other
low-carbon
methods
of
transportation
Reduce
the
purchase
of
products
that
emit
significant
greenhouse
gas
emission
, or
required
significant
emissions
during
manufacture
Use
best
waste
management
practices
Lead
by
example
through
county
outreach
and
education
regarding
how and
why
to
reduce
global
warming
pollution
in
all
aspects
of
daily
living
Everyone
contributes
to the
problem
of
climate
pollution
in a
measurable
way
every
day
.
Educating
the
public
on the
causes
and
effects
of
climate
change
and the
importance
of
adopting
new
habits
is
essential
for
citizens
to
reduce
their
carbon
footprints
. The
policies
recommended
by the
Taskforce
can
put
us on the
right
path
towards
reducing
climate
pollution
and
can
provide
tangible
benefits
for the
citizens
of
Skagit
County
. The
Taskforce
hopes
to
create
a
culture
within
Skagit
County
that
takes
climate
change
seriously
.
Adoption
of these
recommendations
is
likely
to
lead
to
more
job
opportunities
and
more
advanced
entrepreneurial
activities
. This
effort
should be
one
that
draws
the
community
together
to
conserve
,
protect
, and
diligently
manage
the
natural
resources
around
us in a
sustainable
fashion
.
