Council Sustainability Meeting: April 29, 2025

The Council Sustainability Subcommittee (Council Members Hicks, Showalter and Clark) will meet on Tuesday April 29 at 6:00 PM in the Plaza Conference Room on the 2nd floor of City Hall.  They will receive the annual update of our community's greenhouse gas emissions.  These inventories are a vital part of understanding where we will need to invest to reduce emissions.

 

The majority of Mountain View's measured and estimated emissions come from transportation, and the Sustainability staff will also report on multifamily vehicle electrification initiatives.

Mountain View Earth Day & Arbor Day: April 19, 2025

The Mtn. View Earth Day and Arbor Day festivities will happen from 9:15 - 2:30 on Saturday April 19.  This is a great event for families with young children and anyone who wants to reduce their carbon footprint.

 Carbon Free Mountain View will have a table, and Silicon Valley Clean Energy (SVCE) will bring their "Electric Dream Home" to the Community Center's parking lot.  You'll be able to tour a small "all electric" mobile home, powered by the battery of the Ford 150 Lightning truck that tows it to events like Earth Day.
