BURLINGTON, Vt. (AP) The city of Burlington is on track to reach its “net zero” energy goal by 2030, said Mayor Miro Weinberger.
Weinberger and others provided an update Monday on the city’s plans to reach the goal by the end of the decade.
Fossil fuel use and greenhouse gas emissions were lower in the city in 2019 and 2020, compared with 2018. The 2020 reduction in Burlington was partly due to the pandemic.
Weinberger said actions by people in Burlington helped the city reach the point where it is now. We must continue to take such bold steps to help us lock in additional emissions reductions and continue our progress toward net zero energy,” Weinberger said in a statement.
