Thanks for being a paid subscriber and welcome to this month's bonus newsletter! For October, I'm bringing you the second 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. Last month, I brought you part one and this is continuation of that guide. Part two focuses on who is important to this plan, assessing progress so far, and figuring out next steps.
