Climate Protection Committee

In early 2006 the Town of Chevy Chase passed the Mayor's Climate Protection Agreement.  The Climate Protection Committee (CPC) is working to help the Town meet it's obligation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 7% from 1990 levels by 2012.  The Chevy Chase Challenge is a climate action plan designed to help meet this obligation.  The Town Council adopted the plan at its December 10, 2008 meeting.
The Climate Protection Committee has sponsored many activities, speakers, and events for the Town, some of which include:
 
Current Initiatives:
  • Climate Corps: The CPC is organizing a group of Town high school and college students who will provide energy conservation advice to Town homeowners during Summer 2009.  Call the Town office for more information or to set up a home checkup.

Past and Ongoing Initiatives:

The Committee has spearheaded a program to distribute compact fluorescent light bulbs to Town residents, and encouraged the Town Council to purchase greenhouse gas offsets for the Town's street lights.   

Show the world that Chevy Chase is taking action against global warming!  Get your free reusable grocery bag from the Town by signing the Climate Pledge.  Take the Climate Protection Pledge Here or call or stop by the office to get a paper copy of the pledge.  Take your Town pride to the grocery store!
