Title A Resolution expressing the Prince George’s County Council’s support for joining the Cool Capital Challenge to reduce greenhouse gases in the County and in the Metropolitan region. Background The Cool Capital Campaign, started in 2007 by volunteers from business, civic institutions, government agencies, congregations, and community and environmental organizations in the Metropolitan Washington region, is a grassroots campaign to reduce the National Capital Region’s annual carbon dioxide emissions, with a goal of obtaining commitments for collectively reducing a total of one billion pounds of greenhouse gas emissions. This resolution would have the County Council endorse the goal of the Cool Capital Campaign and work with the Metropolitan Council of Governments (COG) in development an implementation plan for the County. THIS RESOLUTION WAS NOT ADOPTED.
