The Evanston Climate Action Plan – ECAP – is a set of recommendations designed to help Evanston reduce its greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). It was drafted by a coalition of community volunteers and City staff, and was approved unanimously by the Evanston City Council in November 2008. Click here to read the ECAP:

An inventory of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions conducted by the City showed that, to honor the pledge taken by signing the U.S. Mayors Climate Protection Agreement, Evanston must reduce its GHG emissions 13% by 2012.
