Fairfax is Now a “Cool” County

Fairfax County, located in Northern Virginia outside of Washington, DC, has signed the “Cool Counties” declaration:

Fairfax County is helping to lead a national effort for counties to reduce global warming emissions 80 percent by 2050, an achievable average annual reduction of 2 percent. The Cool Counties Climate Stabilization Declaration also urges the federal government to adopt legislation requiring an 80 percent emissions reduction by 2050 and calls for fuel economy standards to be raised to 35 miles per gallon within a decade.
