APPENDIX B. OPEN HOU SE COMMENT CARDS Ashland Climate and Energy Action Plan: Baseline Public Input Summary Page | 27 Comment The 300,000 -400,000 people who travel every year to visit the Oregon Shakespeare Festival is a huge emitter of greenhouse gases. The festival is a cultural treasure and the heart of Ashland's economy, so perhaps OSF could encourage Festival attendees to ta ke the train, carpool, or purchase carbon offsets. Festival goers are mostly highly educated, aware people so they might go for it. The question: Do we have the will to make significant meaningful changes in the way we live and consume (and throw away)? Stop slash burn - break it down so it goes in the soil - not the air, electric buses, compostable trash pick-up for creating good soil (I thought we might already have) The city could offer rebates or tax credits for buying an electric bike. My family an d many , many friends in this community are very concerned about geo -engineering aka chemicals in this area that are poisoning us and making all of us and our children very sick. I believe it is very irresponsible of the city of Ashland to NOT address this issue ASAP for we are slowly dying - please stop this. Please , please do not ignore this giant issue that we are dealing with when it comes to climate. Change this geo -engineering solar radiation program is lethal. Show leadership and vision - let's shift our culture so climate change mitigation and adaptation take priority and are considered for all decisions. We need to educate and support people so they can make educated decisions. If we continue on our current path with only minor tweaks we're in troub le - we need to be willing to make major changes while maintaining a healthy economy and livability . I am totally upset you are not discerning the geoengineering and SRM programs and ERR disrupting our climate and weather. I a m upset you are not allowing areas with waste (paper and cans) and poop for energy and just wanting to promote and use solar and wind that are not always available. Go to geoengineering (illegible) and go to David Blaine's site alcoholcanbeagas.com for an all the geoe ngineering and for energy technology (illegible). 1. Utilize the homeless to help with wildfire mitigation work 2. Incentivize residential and commercial water catchment systems and grey water installations in current and future building s 3. Require "natural building" d esigns for residences and businesses i.e. - passive solar, natural cooling. Many communities are implementing these designs already. Look it up. 4. Geoengineering aka weather control is real - it's happening already. How can Ashland stop it? 1. Limit number of residences in UGB. To insure we have enough resources and infrastructure to serve the community we have. W ill there be enough water if we add 400 homes? Insure enough affordable housing in town to reduce community and urban sprawl that w ill exacerbate climate change. 2. Publish a monthly newsletter to go in utility bills and on Facebook with "Tips" - i.e. turn off outside house lights at night to reduce energy or use dimmer lights. I think I'm just going to have to move away! Legally b inding clean energy ordinances and resolutions, caps on emissions!
