Congrats to @SeattleOSE @SEACityLight @SDOTtraffic for releasing this Transportation Electrification Blueprint, so that 9 out of 10 trips can be fossil fuel free by 2030. Seattle’s transportation future is clean and electric. https://t.co/uSUmnixXbL

So great to join partners today from @SierraClubSEA @HDC_SeaKC and #MLKCLC in my first virtual bill signing, celebrating the passage of Seattle's energy code that moves us past dirty fossil fuels!

[Seattle Office of Sustainability & Environment @SeattleOSE]

Today, @MayorJenny signed into law new updates to Seattle’s building energy code, helping to make Seattle’s new buildings the strongest on climate and most energy efficient in the nation #ActOnClimate https://t.co/nR9sV9ODeg

[Christine Rivera Bunch @christinebunch]

Seattle did it! Passing the commercial energy code is important step to reducing reliance on dirty, dangerous fossil gas. Thank you @nwenergy, @anowheels ,@MLKLabor, @climatesolution,@SEA2030, @NRDC, @350_Seattle, @SierraClubSEA, @ShiftZeroWA, @psr_washington, + many more!

Honored to join @SEACityLight testifying in strong support of #HB1084 in #waleg We need the Healthy Homes and Clean Buildings Act!

[Climate Solutions | on bsky @climatesolution]

@FinnCoven of @SeattleOSE: In Seattle, 35% of emissions are from buildings, and on the rise. Clear need to adopt new building standards that are better for climate, health, safety, along with incentives that help consumers transition existing homes. #HB1084 #WALeg

[Jessica Finn Coven @FinnCoven]

The work to stem the climate crisis and build a just and equitable country certainly doesn’t stop, because we have *a lot* of work to do, but we can all take a moment to celebrate today!

[Jessica Finn Coven @FinnCoven]

Such incredible news that today @POTUS recommitted the U.S. to the Paris Climate Agreement AND rescinded the permit for the Keystone XL pipeline!

[Jessica Finn Coven @FinnCoven]

Four years ago, cities like Seattle jumped into gear to say #WeAreStillIn the Paris agreement, and worked alongside our residents to reduce climate pollution and fight for environmental justice

“When you're in a hole, the first step is to quit digging - these code changes are an important first step towards a fossil fuel-free Seattle" Agreed, @BrittneyBush, and thankful Seattle is taking this important first step! https://t.co/mCbYpREnFH

Tony was one of the first people I worked with when I moved to WA. He was a fierce advocate and a champion of climate justice as well as an incredible human being. I am so grateful I got to learn from him and honored I was able to call him a friend.

[Poverty Action @povertyactionwa]

Some good news from Seattle. In this incredibly difficult year, Seattleites say #YesForTransit. As my friend @Ersilians says, transit is the future!

[Jessica Finn Coven @FinnCoven]

Important new research and call to action from @c40cities “The time for small steps & half measures is over. The global disruption caused by the #COVID19 pandemic may be our last chance to choose a different path.”

[Jessica Finn Coven @FinnCoven]
