<br />December 21, 2009 Section 9: Conclusion <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Page 73 <br />9. Conclusion <br />Under California‘s SB375 and AB 32 legislations, local governments are uniquely positioned to <br />be leaders in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and influence development trends for <br />decades to come. The City of San Leandro has an impressive legacy of environmental <br />stewardship while improving residents‘ quality of life and supporting local businesses. <br />The San Leandro Climate Protection Task Force has identified areas and opportunities to <br />reduce GHG emissions related to city operations. As illustrated in this report, the services <br />provided to residences and businesses are the focus and source of GHG emissions. City-wide <br />conservation efforts can serve to maintain and increase the level of service provided, while <br />minimizing GHG emissions. The key to a successful Climate Action Plan will be to build upon <br />previous City energy conservation efforts, water and solid waste reduction initiatives, and other <br />sustainability projects. This plan will remain a living document to support the City‘s efforts to <br />manage GHG emissions for a sustainable future for all.
