A RENEWABLE CITY PLAN
MAACM FOR SCI6NCF
MFSPS aims to reduce travel-created carbon by getting people out of cars and instead traveling by
walking,biking or public transit. We also support greening the City fleet of vehicles and encourage the
public to reduce their impact by supporting cleaner fuels and vehicles.
A dynamic city like Palm Springs requires the efficient use of clean,renewable energy to meet the needs
of today and future generations. MFSPS seeks innovative policies and programs help Palm Springs use
energy wisely,while saving money and reducing environmental impacts.
Imagine a world in which nothing goes to landfills or to incinerators. We think it is achievable, and
MFSPS urges doing everything we can to make it happen.
MFSPS strives to protect the health of its residents, visitors and the local environment. MFSPS wishes to
develop programs and policies to help individuals and businesses make safer choices in products,
practices and services.
Palm Springs is habitat for 48,000 people—meeting needs for space to work,play, and learn; for food,
water, and air; for community with local flora and fauna. MFSPS wants to provide support for urban
agriculture and forestry and green buildings,helping residents and businesses harness environmental
opportunities.
MFSPS wishes to focus on building community capacity- engaging people throughout the City's
neighborhoods and providing them with the tools,education,and job opportunities to ensure that the
places where we live,play,learn,and work are safe and healthy.
Reducing carbon emissions is central to ensuring a sustainable future for Palm Springs. Climate change
will bring unstable weather,rising sea levels and damage to our city's natural habitat and infrastructure.
MFSPS is committed to mobilizing the City to deal with Climate Change.
"Science doesn't need spirituality and spirituality doesn't need science. People need spirituality.
