As was predictable, “Smart Growth America”, an NGO dedicated to promoting UN’s Agenda 21/2030, praised the 246 American Mayors who vowed to abide by the Paris Climate Agreement.
They said in their latest email:
“President Trump withdrew from the Paris Agreement on June 1st, and since then more than 246 U.S. mayors have pledged to uphold it.
To these mayors we say: thank you for your leadership. We support you and this strong commitment to reducing emissions at the city level. Keep going.
How should mayors keep going, exactly? The Mayors National Climate Action Agenda has already outlined several suggestions for how cities can achieve these goals, including things like investing in electric cars and clean energy.
We’re here to add that building compact, walkable neighborhoods served by transit is a crucial part of reducing emissions. Walkable neighborhoods are efficient, and use less car fuel, home energy, and water. Using this approach can help cities reach their emissions goals faster.
We’re ready to work with any city interested in reducing their emissions through more efficient and strategic land use. Read our full post on Medium about how a smart growth approach can contribute to this important work.”
If you want your town to retain its rural look and character, lower taxes, less traffic and congestion, do not want the taxpayer boondoggle known as ‘commuter rail’, and want to stop regionalism and urbanism in general, please know the fight is not over by a long shot, and this is proof.
