April 2021 General Meeting
Our Zoom recording of the excellent presentation made by Claudia Lifton of the Factory Farm Awareness Coalition failed. Claudia was filling in for Katie Cantrell. The presentation made by Katie in the YouTube video linked here covers much of the same ground as Claudia’s. It regretfully misses the Q&A that Claudia handled so well for our group.

January 2020 – Bellingham Climate Action Task Force Presentation
In 2018 the City Council established the Climate Action Task Force and directed the Task Force to determine the feasibility, costs and impacts of meeting 100% renewable energy ambitions by 2035. The Task Force delivered their report to City Council on Dec 9. The report is organized into four categories of measures (actions); transportation, land use, buildings, and energy. The types of measures include education, regulations, programs, incentives and studies.
The presentation to the Multi-Faith Network for Climate Justice at the January 2020 meeting was well attended. Two key participants in the city’s Climate Task Force explained the group’s process, the structure and content of the report, and the next steps for the Council. The measures were described and explained with a focus on those with significant emission reductions. A discussion of next steps and how to be involved in the public process was followed by a question and answer session.
Speakers:
Clare Fogelsong is Environmental Services Manager for the City of Bellingham and the city’s liaison to the Climate Action Plan Task Force.
David Roberts, President, Kulshan Environmental Services, is the Facilitator for the work of the Climate Action Plan Task Force.
