Ashland Climate Collaborative

Action Teams and Networks

To help the City meet our climate goals, we created action teams centered on the biggest impact areas.

Reduce home emissions by replacing natural gas (methane) equipment with clean energy and improve energy efficiency.

Reduce in-town car trips and make our town safer to bike, walk, and roll.

Compost food scraps to reduce landfill emissions and support local farms.

Conserve water and transition to drought-tolerant landscapes.

Form neighborhood climate action clubs to work on solutions together.
