What you can do to change West Virginia policy on global warming / climate instability.
Make your local government pay attention...Engage your friends and family...Take climate action in West Virginia.

Take Action Locally

On Nov. 17, 2006, Shepherdstown became the first municipality in West Virginia to support a global greenhouse gas agreement. The Town Council voted to sign on to the U.S. Mayor's Climate Protection Agreement.

No matter where you live, you can attend Town Council and County Commission meetings--over and over again, if you need to--and ask that your local officials sign on to the U.S. Mayor's Climate Protection Agreement.

Show your officials the Blueprint for Any City and let them know reducing greenhouse gas emissions can save money.

More information coming soon.
