YOUR HOUSE, YOUR CAR, OUR CLIMATE: 

A DISCUSSION ON HOW LAND USE IN WASHINGTON AFFECTS CLIMATE CHANGE

 

 “Your house, your car, our climate:  What should Washington do?”  You’ve heard a lot about “clean energy.”  But how much do you know about a key to Washington’s ability to tackle climate change:  the connection between land use and transportation?  At this informal gathering, Rod Brown, senior partner at Cascadia Law Group, will discuss initiatives from the 2008 Washington legislative session relating to growth management and climate change, and what changes we could see. David Dye, Deputy Secretary of the Washington Department of Transportation, will discuss how the Department is responding to the challenge of reducing emissions from transportation in Washington.

 

A Washington Foundation for the Environment Roundtable, co-sponsored by People for Puget Sound and CH2M Hill.

This WFFE Roundtable discussed what is already happening around the region and what more needs to be done to address stormwater problems as we strive to restore the Sound by 2020. Bill Derry of CH2MHill talked about landscape-level stormwater management.
