Cool City/Cool County Resolutions Pass Unanimously

Congrats to everyone who contacted their City/County Council members for the Cool City/Cool County Environmental Resolutions (blogged about here).

The resolution was not only supported unanimously by City Council -- it was cosponsored unanimously. It was also the first time that City Council unanimously supported an environmental resolution.

Moreover, County Council also passed their resolution unanimously, garnering support from Republicans as well as Democrats.

Kudos to the local Sierra Club who has been working on this effort for some time.

However, this victory would not have been possible without all the environmental groups who joined in as well as all the progressive groups who participated.

You could say it went viral and City Council was definitely overwhelmed with your emails.

Just goes to show how much power we have when we all work together for a goal.
