View Invitation

The City of Monterey would like to invite you to an update on progress reducing our environmental footprint on Tuesday, July 22, at 3:00 p.m. in front of Colton Hall. The event marks the one-year anniversary of the signing of the U.N. Urban Environmental Accords and the Mayors' Climate Protection Agreement.

The signing of these agreements represent a turning point for the City of Monterey, one which brings environmental planning to the forefront of City efforts. Achievements to date include energy efficiency and water conservation upgrades at major facilities, a city-wide recycling outreach campaign, passage of a Green Building Ordinance, an integrated pest management system, B20 biodiesel for the City fleet and fire trucks, and much more.

The event will allow participants to experience environmentally friendly practices such as composting and green cleaning products. The goal of the event is to educate and encourage people to take individual action. We would also like to call attention to regional efforts in this area and encourage future collaboration and cooperation between jurisdictions throughout Monterey County.

Refreshments provided. We hope you can join us.
