Northeast Metro Climate Action is pleased to endorse Dave Olson for Shoreview City Council. Dave believes that as climate change worsens, our response must be proactive. At the local level, there is an opportunity to be a leader in renewable energy alternatives. As Shoreview develops and redevelops land, there is a need to do so in a way that protects the environment — both for ourselves and for future generations. Dave will advocate for strong environmental practices such as home solar programs and green incentives. Shoreview should begin to intentionally look at ways of transforming our energy, water and transportation systems. He believes it is important that we limit the use of toxic chemicals on yards and parks, improve storm water runoff, and introduce a municipal curbside composting program. Dave would work with environmental experts and the community to tackle these issues and create a city climate action plan with an eventual goal of a 100% renewable energy and a zero-waste city.

Northeast Metro Climate Action is pleased to endorse Steve Rogers for Vadnais Heights City Council. Steve grew up understanding that Earth’s resources are finite and at risk, and that risk continues to grow. As a candidate for Vadnais Heights City Council, Steve’s sustainability goal is for the city to be recognized as a GreenStep City. Any global change must start locally, and this is a way for the City of Vadnais Heights to get behind a worthy community activity. He believes that humanity is affecting the climate and he will continue to do what he can to personally – and as an elected official – slow down and reverse the environmental harm we are all experiencing.
