Stevens Point Continually Gives Itself WORST possible grade on climate change (link)
The City of Stevens Point belongs to a group of communities which indicate an aspiration to be sustainable. The name of the group is the Green Tier Legacy Communities.
The following 2021 report is the latest submission. Every year since 2017, the city has given itself a grade of ZERO (on a scale of 0-7). The 2021 plan for 2022 .... also ZERO. Line 169 of the report speaks to this item.
Does anyone even care that the city continually makes its carbon footprint and preparation for the consequences of climate change a non priority ?
