There go our taxes again. Any time you hear the buzzwords “green”, “sustainable”, “eco-friendly”, “renewable”, etc., grab your wallets.
In 2010, Moscow set out to reduce its 2005 greenhouse gas levels — later amended to 2008 levels — 20 percent by 2020.
Acting Public Works Director Tyler Palmer told the Moscow City Council Monday night the city is expected to accomplish that goal — barely.
Sustainability initiatives like water-saving methods, replacing inefficient bulbs with light emitting diodes (LEDs) and fuel reduction strategies have and will continue to make Moscow more green, Palmer said.
He said Moscow has led the state and region on certain initiatives.“We want to be a city that does things right and works hard to be a leader on key issues, and sustainability is no exception,” Palmer said.
