Burlington Mayor Bob Kiss addressed volunteers at the 350.org gathering and framed the city's work as long-running and intensifying: "the city of Burlington has chosen to be a sustainable city," he said, pointing to three decades of investments in residential and commercial energy conservation and vehicle-emissions reductions.
Kiss emphasized urgency, saying "350 parts per million is our goal, but we're at 390 parts per million and we're going in the opposite direction," and called for decisive municipal action and citizen involvement to accelerate the city's climate work. He thanked volunteers and urged the audience to view local projects as part of a broader push to influence policymakers.
