Continuing a long tradition of forging grassroots hands-on impact on seemingly impossible environmental challenges, Parks & People has pledged 15 million pounds of carbon dioxide reductions to the new Cool Capital Challenge initiative. Cool Capital is seeking to reduce local carbon dioxide emissions by one billion pounds inone year as a dramatic model effort to demonstrate how one metropolitan region
can come together to make a real impact on reversing the climate crisis. WPP is promoting this initiative to every volunteer, partner, and client that we serve. The Josephine Butler Parks Center is serving as a base of the campaign and as a model site for many of the simple ways that we can reduce the energy costs of our buildings, transportation, and lifestyles.
