Port of Seattle issues citizens' call to help it limit emissions
THE Seattle Port Commission has called for community members to advise on policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase energy efficiency.
The energy and sustainability policy committee will include advisors from diverse sectors of the community, including business, environmental justice, maritime, aviation, construction and government.
The committee will develop and propose to the commission policy directives that will guide future Port operations, with a focus on innovative energy efficiency and alternative energy generation proposals.
Committee members are expected to meet monthly beginning in June. Those interested in participating may contact Aaron Pritchard at pritchard.a@portseattle.org or (206) 787-3944.
The Port of Seattle will also unveil ambitious environmental goals at the next commission meeting, the start of a five-year plan to protect and enhance the region's natural environment.
"The environmental long-range plan outlines many aggressive strategies, including several focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions which trap heat in the atmosphere and contribute to climate change," said the port authority statement.
