Sustainability Initiatives, City of Burlington: a place for news and ideas on sustainability in #BTV, #VT

[Climate Ride @ClimateRide]

Worldwide, 1.35 million people die in
traffic-related crashes each year. Half of
those deaths are pedestrians and cyclists. @streetprojdoc is an inspiring story about humanity’s
relationship with our streets and the global citizen-led
fight to make communities safer.

[Lt. Governor Molly Gray @LtGovGray]

Our rural communities are laboratories for the future . Today, I toured historic East Arlington with community leader Joshua Sherman whose efforts to make the downtown a national hub for musicians and artists is a remarkable example of innovation and creativity.

The price of #RenewableEnergy has been dropping exponentially over the past decade—and shows no sign of reversing https://t.co/ZiNgRwB7Q7

Our individual actions matter. I'm stepping up and taking climate action today - leaving the car at home and commuting on public transport. Join #Citizens4Climate and share your commitment via @C40cities

To avoid deep climate crisis, the world must transform its economy quickly. #BTV will continue to show this can be done by becoming a Net Zero Energy City over the next 10-15 years ⁦@BurlingtonElec⁩ https://t.co/YFPsh0n4PZ

[Anderson Cooper 360° @AC360]

Brett Kavanaugh's Yale roommate tells @andersoncooper that when he heard his Senate testimony he "knew he was lying."

"When Brett started saying things about his drinking and his use of certain words, sexually-oriented words, I knew he was lying because he was my roommate."

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

It’s been 70 days since this Administration missed the court-ordered separated family reunification deadline. Every single day that these families are separated, these children go to sleep terrified because they don’t know where their parents are. Don’t stop speaking out.

[Kirsten Gillibrand @SenGillibrand]

Women are watching as the most powerful people in this country disbelieve, distrust and minimize their experiences.

We need to answer this: Are we a country that values women? Do we believe women when they tell us about sexual trauma? Do the stories of survivors matter to us?

[Burlington Electric @BurlingtonElec]

Very exciting news, indeed!
