Bellingham City Council Members,

I’m writing to urge you to prioritize implementation of the Bellingham Climate Action Task Force’s recommendations. We need leadership at every level of government to focus urgently on implementing solutions to the climate crisis and I hope we can count on you.

The Task Force has taken their responsibility to chart a course toward 100% renewable by 2035 seriously and has shown that it can be done. There is no time to waste, and I ask you to begin to implement the easy steps immediately while working diligently to achieve the longer-term goals.

Policies like electrification of vehicles and high efficiency buildings undeniably have costs. While those costs don’t compare to the much greater costs of inaction, I urge you to keep social equity and fairness at the forefront. We must ensure that these costs don’t land on those who can least afford them. And we must ensure that the jobs and economic development that are created as we build our clean energy economy are jobs that pay well, and that the economic growth benefits everyone. I urge you to make Bellingham a community that models climate justice.

Implementing these policies and finding these solutions is some of the most important work of our city government. As this work progresses, I urge you to make sure that you are communicating the progress routinely to the community. And I ask you to take steps to engage all the stakeholders so that those whose power and profit depends on dirty energy don’t dominate the discussion.

Thank you,
