Futurewise Brownbag Series on the Seattle Climate Action Plan
The City of Seattle is currently in the process of updating its Climate Action Plan in order to meet its goal of carbon neutrality by 2050. That means Seattle has an incredible opportunity to set a plan and actions toward improving economic opportunity, affordability and self-sufficiency, and public health by building high-performing, transit oriented communities. Futurewise is partnering with the Seattle Office of Sustainability and the Environment and Seattle Councilmember Mike O’Brien to host four panel brownbag discussions from December 2011 to mid-summer 2012 to dream what’s possible.

Healthy Communities: Saving Families Money at Home & on the Road
January 26, 12:00-1:30, GGLO Space at the Steps
Building more homes closer to more jobs and improving street and transit infrastructure to serve more users can save families money. We have a stellar panel of local experts to discuss how we can make this happen:
Co-Moderators: Councilmembers Tom Rasmussen and Richard Conlin.
Panelists: Dave Cutler of GGLO & Seattle Planning Commission, Estela Ortega of El Centro de la Raza, and Rebecca Saldana of Puget Sound Sage
