In a recent government meeting, congratulations were extended to Mayor Welch and Commissioner Bridal for receiving the Broward Sierra Environmental Champion Award, recognizing their commitment to environmental initiatives. The meeting highlighted an exciting new initiative led by the Broward Sierra junior team in collaboration with the Climate Reality Project, which aims to transition local schools to clean, renewable energy.
The Broward Sierra junior team has officially joined the Climate Reality Campaign, expanding their network and outreach efforts. They have already contacted the Broward County School Board and other organizations to explore the necessary steps for implementing this initiative. The team has created a Google form, accessible via a QR code, allowing community members to express their support for the transition to renewable energy. Additionally, there is an option for interested individuals, particularly students, to join the campaign.
The meeting also announced an upcoming event on September 21st at 3 PM at the North Regional Library, where a screening of \"We're All Plastic People Now\" will take place. This event is particularly relevant as it coincides with an ordinance related to environmental issues that is set to be passed later in the evening. Attendees are encouraged to register for the screening through the Broward County library website.
Overall, the discussions underscored a strong commitment to environmental advocacy and community engagement, particularly among the youth.
