In addition to exceeding its 20% by 2020 goal three years ahead of schedule. We have now set an aggressive new community-wide goal to reduce GHG emissions by 80% by 2030 – and changed our name to Bedford 2030: Climate Action Now! To reach our goals we are continuing to empower and mobilize individuals. Also communities, elected officials, and civic organizations. Especially to take action locally and beyond. We will increase renewable energy usage. In addition, phase out fossil fuels and reduce waste. Finally adopt clean and healthy water, land, and sustainable food practices. We will continue to extend our impact by piloting projects locally and collaborating with partners in the county. As well as the region and state. Especially to extend effective solutions far and wide. Everyone can make a difference for future generations if we all do what we can now. Join our effort by starting in a way that works for you. Measure your carbon footprint with the Carbon Tracker; take some climate actions indoors, outdoors, or in your lifestyle; get involved by voting, investing, or influencing policy; help us carry out our mission by making a donation, volunteering, or joining one of our community groups.
