Miramar partners with Florida League of Cities to join campaign to go carbon neutral by 2050
In Florida, WSVN reported that the City of Miramar has partnered with the Florida League of Cities to join the Race to Zero Campaign.
Miramar Mayor Wayne Messam outlined the city’s progress on the Climate Action Plan, which includes an ongoing Energy Efficiency Project that is 60% complete, which will retrofit streetlights and all the lights in all city buildings to LED; HVAC upgrades; LEED certified buldings; utilization of carbon neutral cooling and heating technology and conducting an EV roadway study, among others.
“The city is gearing up to roll out its programs to support the Race to Zero initiative,” Messam said. “So far, we have installed charging stations around Miramar, and we were proactive in installing these years ago in preparation for laws that will be passed to eliminate carbon emission vehicles.
“Our plan involves taking this initiative to our residents and schools so we as a collective can make small changes to see carbon reduction in our city, state, country and ultimately globally,” he added.
