GHG emissions are changing the earth's climate and pose a serious threat to our community's economic we being, public health and the environment. In 2007, the State of California passed AB32, an assembly bill requiring jurisdictions in California to reduce GHG emissions to 1990 levels by the year 2020. In February 2007 the San Leandro City Council adopted a goal to reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions 25% below 2005 levels by 2020. The City has completed an inventory of San Leandro's GHG emissions. Using 2005 as the base year, San Leandro emitted more than 882,000 tons of GHG emissions, of which less than 1% was generated by City government operations. More than 99% are considered community emissions. The City's Climate Action Plan will work to establish new ways of living and working in San Leandro, including the City municipal operations, and engaging with the public on ways to reduce energy use, waste generation arid GHG emissions. The City of San Leandro is asking for input from its residents, employees and businesses to better understand the level of support for different types of reduction strategies.
