KEY ELEMENTS of 2025 RICAS

Energy Efficiency
– Make sure that our homes, buildings & transportation use energy as efficiently as possible, so we need less.
– Transition Away from Fossil Fuel
– Transition our buildings, vehicles, businesses, and manufacturing away from using oil & gas & towards electricity & alternative fuels.

Green our Energy Supply
– Produce energy from sources like wind & solar to make sure that when we transition to electric power it will be clean.
– Remove Carbon from the Air
– Conserve open space & forests, plant more trees & support agriculture so that carbon will be stored in plants & soil.

Just Transition
– Help the community to make a just transition to a new energy system by supporting workers to learn new trades, making streets safer for multiple forms of transportation, addressing needs around transit, food & public green spaces & supporting local climate resilience plans.
