Friday, November 21 - good climate news from Florida

For donors looking for some good climate news, last month SolveClimate.org featured a story about Florida's new climate plan. "Huge Economic Gains, Redefines National Discussion".

The plan outlines 50 recommendations to result in $28 billion in net economic savings between now and 2025, while significantly reducing emissions of greenhouse gases.

Quoting from SolveClimate, "The report posted here calculates that emissions would be reduced 64% from business-as-usual projections by 2025 if all fifty policy recommendations are implemented. That translates into a 51% reduction of emissions below 2005 levels, and a 33% reduction below 1990 levels. The reductions blow past the targets Governor Crist asked the Action Team to hit."
