Create a revolving green energy fund and other funding sources to finance internal projects and achieve energy savings.
Energy efficiency

Support community organisations to adopt these measures.
Transport

Work together and influence
Pledge 5:
Set local renewable energy or emissions reduction targets and sustainable energy policies.
These will provide a common goal and shared expectations for local residents and businesses.
