Honoring Winston-Salem next week

The Foothills Group of the Sierra Club is having an event to honor Winston-Salem as a 'Cool City' next Thursday, June 28th at 10:30 a m. The location will be Grace Court Park

Mayor Allen Joines will sign the US Conference of Mayors Climate Protection Agreement, which asks cities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in our community, and to urge the NC General Assembly and the U.S. Congress to do the same.

Other speakers will include a variety of Sierra Club representatives and City Councilman Dan Besse.

There was coverage about this in the Winston-Salem Journal this morning, as well as initial coverage when the Mayor signed in the early spring.

Kudos to Winston-Salem and the Foothills Group for their good work!
