Our Four Fights
100% CLEAN ENERGY
Two-thirds of San Diego is powered by outdated, polluting fuels. We’re changing that in a big, 100% renewable way.
50% TRANSIT, WALK, BIKE
We want a world-class transportation system that provides better transit, walking and biking options. This will not only reduce our carbon footprint, but also improve our health, quality of life, and ability to compete in a 21st century economy.
35% URBAN TREE CANOPY
Our cities are heating up and the abundance of asphalt and concrete only makes it worse. Trees help cool things down, clean the air, and make our neighborhoods more beautiful.
0% WASTE
Trash creates tons of methane– a potent greenhouse gas– when it decays in landfills. Our vision is to cut our region’s waste down to zero by 2040, by decreasing the amount of waste we produce, diverting trash from landfills into recycling and composting, and capturing emissions from landfills and wastewater treatment.
