Cool Cities City Profiles
|
 Each Cool City and aspiring Cool Cities with citizens working to make their city "cool" has city profile on this web site. The profile tells you who to contact to get involved, announcements of events and other key information about what is happening there. The city profile also includes milestones showing the key steps the city has taken such as whether a citizen team has formed, the mayor has signed the Mayors' Climate Change Agreement or joined the Partners for Climate Protection program in Canada or implemented steps to meet the goals. Help make sure we move your city from red to blue on your thermometer! To find your city, either use the map on the home page and click a city in your state or province or use the list on the upper right of the page to select your state. You'll see your state or province, then check the list for your city and click on it. If your city isn't there then maybe there isn't a team there yet. You can start it! Want to become a lead? Register on the site and contact the Cool Cities Coordinator at cool.cities@sierraclub.org! Is your city a Cool City? |
