KCBX s Rachel Showalter reports.
In a July 6 meeting, the San Luis Obispo City Council approved the first-ever plan for carbon neutral city operations.
San Luis Obispo already had a community wide net carbon neutrality goal for 2035. But this new approved plan, known as Lead by Example, outlines steps the city can take to reach carbon neutrality among its municipal operations by 2030.
The plan includes ways to reduce greenhouse gas emission production and remove existing emissions from the atmosphere.
Some of the long term action plans include eliminating fossil fuel use to power city facilities, eliminating fossil fuel use in city vehicles, establishing zero waste methods in city facilities, minimizing emissions generated from wastewater treatment and planting trees.
