Cool Updates

Fairfax County is helping to lead a national effort for countries to reduce global warming emissions by 80 percent by 2050, an achievable average annual reduction of 2 percent. The Cool Counties Climate Stabilization Declaration also urges the federal government to adopt legislation requiring an 80 percent reduction by 2050 and calls for fuel economy stanrds to be raised to 35 miles per gallon within a decade. In an effort to have a deeper impact, the Cool Counties program has added the Cool Household and Cool Neighborhood components for greater participation by county residents. Each of the Cool websites have information on what residents can do to be environmentally conscious in Fairfax County.
