Save Our Planet

Please join us February 10th to help Kick Off the CASH Campaign co-sponsored by TCAT and the Sierra Club South Sound Group.

The people of Thurston County want lower utility bills, and homes that are more energy efficient, healthier, and safer! They also want community-wide action on the climate crisis.

In the next few weeks, we have an opportunity to support some important climate action by local government that can save people money on their utility bills, improve our health, and bring down the carbon pollution that fuels disasters today and threatens our future.

This spring, local elected officials for Olympia, Tumwater, Lacey, and Thurston County will consider two climate and energy proposals:

An ordinance that requires that all homes put up for sale have a Home Energy Score (HES) included in the listing. This will tell potential buyers how energy efficient the home is.

A program that provides education and incentives to help homeowners improve the energy efficiency of their homes. This will include connecting people with incentives.

For our local jurisdictions to approve these positive measures, they need support from the public. That's YOU!  So TCAT is launching the Clean and Safe Homes (CASH) Campaign, to mobilize together in support of these initiatives. 

At the same time, we know these measures will not be enough for us to reach the climate goals our local governments have set (reducing carbon pollution 45% below 2015 levels by 2030, and 85% by 2050). Much more needs to be done, and quickly. So, while we support these initiatives as positive and important steps, we need to do MORE!

Please join us! Progress can't happen without your help. We'll be working together as a community in creative and fun ways to get the message out (plus we want to hear your ideas). Bring your friends and family with you too!
