A colleague of mine (Wendy Bruget) forwarded me these two Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors motions.
Motion 1. Zev Yaroslavsky and Gloria Molina sponsored Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory Motion. The motion asks the county to create an inventory of its GHG situation, and then develop a Climate Action Plan based on it, with strategies on how to reduce GHG emissions as well as strategies preparing for the potential impacts of climate change on the county. Very Interesting. View the motion here: http://file.lacounty.gov/bos/supdocs/49052.pdf
Motion 2. Mark Ridley Thomas and Michael Antonovich sponsored bill seeking the establishment of a county “Environmental Service Center,” which would provide County residents and businesses with information on Renewable Technologies, Green Buildings, Water Conservation/Efficiency, Low Impact Development, Recycling, and more.

I will try to update everyone on the status of these as soon as possible.
