Resource of the Month: Zero Cities

Thanks for being a paid subscriber and welcome to this month's bonus newsletter! For September, I'm bringing you the first part of Zero Cities, a guide I created for beginners to understand — and act on— your city or county's pledge to reduce their planet-warming emissions.

The guide breaks down some basic concepts in these plans and has lots of questions to help you understand what's going on in your city. Part one will help you find your city's climate plan, then figure out what kind of goals it sets out, and focus on what actions are actually promised.

Part two, coming next month, will help you assess who's in charge of making these changes and then decide what steps you and your neighbors can take to make it a reality. Eventually I will offer this guide as a downloadable resource online, but as a paid subscriber you're getting it first.
