Take on Global Warming, Pound by PoundWhat is the Challenge?Cool Capital Challenge unites individuals, schools, congregations, businesses, governments and other institutions to take a billion-pound bite out of the Capital Region's carbon dioxide emissions by April 2009. The Challenge is like a fundraising campaign, only instead of pledging money, we are pledging the region's greenhouse gas emission reduction. Our goal in Phase 1 was to get one billion pounds of reduction pledges by Earth Day 2008 and we met our challenge - THANKS TO EVERYONE, CONGRATULATIONS! In Phase 2 we are implementing all the pledges by 2009, expanding the reduction year by year and supporting broader energy reform across the region. So, check your pledge now to implement it.
