John,
Do you want to see a Green New Deal?
Are you tired of waiting for Washington to act on climate?
Wondering when the State Legislature will do more to expand solar energy?
John, I first ran for office because I was tired of waiting for politicians to stand up for what needed to be done. Climate change is real. It is here. And it is a threat not just to us here at home, but to 100 million people all around the world who risk becoming refugees because of global warming. The time to act is now.
That’s why I’m proud and excited to introduce my DeKalb Green New Deal.
Here are the highlights:
1. Commit to a county-wide 100% Clean Energy and Clean Transportation future by 2035. Fund a Sustainability Director and implement the transition plan.
2. Ensure a just and equitable transition to a clean energy economy, those who have been impacted the most by environmental injustice should be the first to receive the investments.
3. Expand regenerative landscaping and urban farming practices county-wide. Using fewer pesticides, herbicides and other cancer-causing chemicals polluting our streams, and soil and people.
4. Fight for fare-free transit. Expand transit investments by passing a 1 penny sales tax to implement new rapid-transit corridors county-wide.
5. Enact a Conservation Community Development ordinance to preserve more green space in future housing developments, protecting our trees and stream buffers.
6. Bring back the park and greenspace bond program, to fund land purchases for permanent conservation areas, parks and recreation, and wildlife sanctuaries.
