The task at hand is to build anew

You might have heard sensationalized news about the drop in CO2 emissions during the COVID-19 pandemic. The notion that this is a โ€œsilver-liningโ€ is dangerous and misleading because a) any โ€œgainsโ€ are temporary, and b) they come from profound tragedy and suffering. The task at hand is to build anew. One of my heroes, Francia Mรกrquez, asks us, โ€œWhen will we stand up and create an economy of life instead of allowing an economy of death to destroy our earth and people?โ€ย 


Tonight our Council will consider adoption of two critical initiatives - the Bicycle Master Plan and the Climate Action Plan. Both plans offer a vision and roadmap for systemic change that will take us forward into a cleaner, greener, and more healthy future. I invite you to watch our Council meeting tonight at 7PM and submit public comments through Speak Up San Mateo.
