San Diego Green Drinks June 2018: Climate Change Policy
Thursday, June 21 | 6 PM – 8 PM | Waypoint Public (North Park) 3794 30th Street, San Diego, California 92104
Do you believe Congress will create an effective policy to fight climate change? Do you believe Democrats and Republicans will work together on this? Do you believe Congresspersons listen and respond to ordinary voters?
Climate change policy is caught in the middle of today’s tumultuous politics. Fortunately, there are people fighting for nonpartisan climate change mitigation.
Citizens Climate Lobby believes in participatory democracy. They work to establish and maintain relationships with our Members of Congress, to raise public awareness through media and outreach events, and to build bridges with other groups concerned with climate change. CCL currently has 95,000 volunteers and over 400 chapters across the United States. We are nonpartisan and nonprofit.
Carl Yaeckel will be talking about the latest in climate change science, current impacts of climate change, and the possible approaches to eliminating greenhouse gas emissions: regulation, cap-and-trade, and taxing carbon fuels.
Speaker:
Carl Yaeckel graduated from Harvard Law School in 1979. He has worked as a prosecutor, a public defender, and a civil trial attorney. Since retiring in 2014 he has been a volunteer with Citizens Climate Lobby. Mr. Yaeckel is a Congressional Liaison and a Group Leader for CCL. He resides in Ocean Beach, California.

Community Choice Forum
Friday, September 7 | 8 AM – 4 PM
Mark your calendars for the 3rd Annual Community Choice Forum this September 7, 2018, 8am-4pm.
Our region is making history with unprecedented commitments to reaching 100% clean energy. Six cities in San Diego have committed to 100% clean energy by 2035, and all six have identified Community Choice in the Climate Action Plans as a tried-and-true pathway to succeed. Solana Beach has paved the way for the region, launching Community Choice this June!
Statewide, nearly five million families in California are expected to benefit from Community Choice by the end of this year — including LA and Ventura County. It’s time for San Diego families to enjoy the freedom of choice, energy democracy, local economic development, revenue that stays in the community, and moving from a for-profit to a not-for-profit business model to keep runaway energy rates and San Diego’s rising cost-of-living affordable to all.
Stay tuned for details!
