Mayor Schwartzman hopes to make Galesburg greener

Mayor Schwartzman hopes to make Galesburg greener GALESBURG In fall 2018, then-alderman Peter Schwartzman wrote a column for The Register-Mail outlining ways that Galesburg could respond to climate change. Written after United Nations grim predictions of climate change, Schwartzman s column laid out multiple ways Galesburg could both reduce its carbon footprint and benefit in the process.  Two and a half years later, Schwartzman became Galesburg’s mayor. The Knox College environmental studies professor is now hoping to make Galesburg greener.  At the time he wrote the council, Schwartzman also made an announcement on the topic of climate, but he saw almost no response from the city or the council, he says.
