>> Dear Bozeman City Commission,
>>
>> Thank you for your hard work to make Bozeman the best community in Montana. I especially want to thank you
for your work on addressing climate change, as this crisis poses the greatest threat to livability in the future.
>>
>> Your resolution on December 16, 2019, setting strong greenhouse gas reduction goals, was a great start to keep
the climate livable and to make Bozeman a leader in this effort. But passing that resolution was only a start, as the
resolution's goals cannot be met if climate change is not made a top 5 priority for all City planning. Climate change
affects everything, and preventing runaway climate chaos must be a part of every decision about Bozeman’s future.
All planning and decisions made by the City must be viewed through a lens of climate change or we will not be able
to effectively reduce greenhouse gas emissions, putting our future at risk.
>>
>> Please make climate change and greenhouse gas reductions one of the City’s top priorities in 2020 and beyond.
>>
>> Thank you,
Blake Wiedenheft
