Kirkland's commitment to sustainability took center stage during the latest TWIK Minute, featuring senior planner David Barnes. He highlighted three key insights about Earth Month that residents may not be aware of but should definitely know.

First, Barnes emphasized that Kirkland has a comprehensive sustainability strategic plan aimed at cutting emissions and enhancing the quality of life for its residents. "It's not just about the trees. It's about people too," he stated, underscoring the plan's holistic approach.

Second, he revealed that residents can save up to $6,000 through EnergySmart Eastside's incentives. "It's a climate win and a wallet win," he noted, encouraging homeowners to "heat your home, not the planet."

Lastly, Barnes reminded the community that Earth Month events extend beyond April. Organizations like sustainability ambassadors provide opportunities for involvement year-round, making every month an opportunity to celebrate and promote sustainability in Kirkland.

With these insights, Kirkland continues to lead the way in environmental awareness and community engagement, proving that sustainability is a year-round commitment.
