slide-51
SLIDE 51

51

Why is it important to create an Energy Action Plan?

Envision a better future

“Provide a vision…” “…think of energy use comprehensively…”

Educate and Improve Awareness

“Bring awareness to opportunities to reduce costs of energy and benefit the environment.” “…encourage residents and businesses to embrace energy changes that will ultimately reduce climate change.”

Combat Climate Change

“…help create a more sustainable growth” “…take action to reduce energy consumption and shift towards renewable options…” “embrace energy changes that will ultimately reduce climate change.”

Come together as a community

“…shows that we, as a community, are in control of the condition of our environment and can make a difference.” “…engage the community in this effort…”

slide-52
SLIDE 52

We will empower all Inver Grove Heights community members, including residents and businesses, to take action to conserve energy and reduce energy costs through supporting energy efficiency, renewable energy, and efficient transportation. This work will use Inver Grove Heights-specific data and find innovative and unique ways to promote community-wide environmental, social, and economic sustainability by engaging all community members, and will demonstrate community pride in our natural and built environment.
