Join us for San Diego 350's first action hour, focusing on doing the work around organizing for climate-friendly policy in San Diego. We will meet bi-weekly and focus each week on taking concrete action and learning more about how YOU can impact an issue.
This week we will be focusing on SANDAG's upcoming Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). This plan will affect how we get around San Diego County for the next several decades, and it's essential to push SANDAG to have a transit forward plan that lowers greenhouse gas emissions. The RTP is currently in its public comment phase and is taking comments until August 6. We will provide you with the background information you need and assist you in crafting your comment. Join us and make a difference!
We hope you are enjoying the outdoors and staying cool in the summer sunshine! We are excited to invite you to join the SD350 community for our very first in-person social event since March 2020. There will be games, food, music and more. Please celebrate this special occasion with us! More details will be shared soon. San Diego County COVID policies will be followed.
Special note: In accordance with COVID 19 safety recommendations, we ask everyone to bring their own picnic supplies e.g. food/snacks/drinks, plates/cutlery/napkins, blankets/chairs etc. We encourage you to use sustainable practices and think of zero waste when possible.
The City of Encinitas’ Green Building Ordinance (GBO) will be voted on by the City Council on August 11, 2021 at 6PM. This contains the first major Building Electrification ordinance in San Diego County. The ordinance includes “reach codes”, which is a term that means that it reaches beyond what the state of California requires.
We are scheduled to return to in-person Council meetings beginning with the August 11 City Council meetings, subject to COVID-19 health and safety rules. Comments will be accepted in-person at the meeting. If you send in an email, it will be provided to the City Council and be included in the record but not read at the meeting.
Join us for our digital August meeting to learn tricks for reducing your carbon footprint and creating less waste by making sustainability part of your everyday life. A variety of presenters will touch on topics such as composting, electric vehicles, solar power, and how to recognize and avoid “greenwashing”. We will also provide a list of sustainable household products and resources to learn more about sustainable living.
Presenters include:
- The Solana Center
- More to come
