LOWER MERION READY FOR 100!
We are advocating that Lower Merion join communities around the region and the US who have adopted Clean Energy Transition goals and deadlines necessary to head off the worst of global warming.
On February 25, 2020, Lower Merion EAC approved a resolution to be forwarded to the Township Commissioners for their consideration. With the Covid-19 Pandemic, the Township has not taken this up as of 5/18/2020. The EAC resolution meets most, but not all of the National RF100 Standards.
Our local group drafted a proposed RF 100 Resolution. We presented the resolution to the November 19th EAC meeting! See the 'Proposed Resolution' tab for the full text.
Write your Commissioner: We need your support for the resolution. Go to the Take Action tab above to see a sample letter and find your commissioner and their email address.
What is Ready For 100?
Lower Merion Township Ready For 100 is the local branch of a national movement of people working to inspire our leaders to embrace a vision of healthier communities powered with 100% clean, renewable energy. We are volunteers and LM residents, asking our township and fellow citizens to commit to solutions that help us achieve 100% clean, renewable, and just energy.
Our Goals: We seek commitments to achieve 100% renewable energy sources for electricity by or before 2035 and for all energy usage in the Township by or before the year 2050. We believe that it is essential to set concrete goals and timetables because this will guide public and private decisionmaking. The goals will help us set priorities, and evaluate progress. It's not too late to get control over global warming.
A Positive and Supportive Group: We support an open and inclusive dialogue among government, residents, public institutions and businesses so we can all achieve this change together. We are committed to be positive and supportive to make the essential changes we need to save our planet. Each of us must do our part! And we want to have some fun along the way, after all, we are advocating for our life, our children and grandchildren, our health and our world.
