Have to give credit where credit is due. Thank you to Nassau County Executive Laura Curran for signing the State Department of Environmental Conservation’s #ClimatePledge. Here’s our #LIHerald editorial:
At the Herald, we like to give credit where credit is due. In our Nov. 8-14 editorial, “Nassau should take the Climate Smart Pledge,” we called on County Executive Laura Curran, a Democrat who has long supported environmental issues, to sign the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation’s Climate Smart Communities Pledge. On Jan. 7, she did just that.
Communities that sign the pledge agree to inventory emissions, set goals and plan for climate action while reducing energy use, shifting to clean, renewable energy and using climate-smart material management. The initiative is intended to support a “green innovation” economy and help inform and inspire the public to act to end the current climate crisis — the steady heating of the Earth because of fossil-fuel emissions.
