57 There are many problems that will affect humans particularly but the more directly we affect other life forms the worst we get. We must conserve natural areas and keep them safe for us but mainly them. 5/24/2016 7:21 PM 58 Drought is my biggest climate change concern, but that has little relevance to gg emissions. Buildings and transportation offer the biggest opportunities to reduce emissions. However rehydration and consequent growth is a carbon sequestration strategy that can have enormous results which are just starting to be studied and measured. 5/24/2016 7:18 PM 59 Power production is nations highest use of energy with industrial agriculture next...and Sadly missing in these choices! transportation is next....but the natural world should be part of every consideration, so that was harder. 5/24/2016 7:03 PM 60 It is the most dominate energy source in Ashland 5/24/2016 7:02 PM 61 Biggest piece of the pie. 5/24/2016 6:59 PM 62 Auftos make up so much of the gas emissions 5/24/2016 6:57 PM 63 Reduction in emissions seems to be so important, it's hard to say more than the others but it seems so much has to do with what's going on in the air and all the rest are like contributing factors. But mostly because of the growing size of populations and how many vehicles not just public commuting but transportation in general trucks and those making the most emission it just seems so much more and consistent than everything even though it's all happening and currently. 5/24/2016 6:37 PM 64 Overall health and well being as well as local standard of living. Usability of environment and recreation. Ease and joy of commute. 5/24/2016 6:30 PM 65 It's a major GHG emission impact & actionable. 5/24/2016 6:28 PM 66 This will be a lot easier than the consumption section. 5/24/2016 6:17 PM 67 I'm passionate about renewable energy 5/24/2016 6:06 PM 68 Biggest slice of the pie, and most voluntary component 5/24/2016 6:02 PM 69 We want to keep our natural capital strong 5/24/2016 6:01 PM 70 I imagine that building consume the most energy in Ashland. Currently, the majority of that energy is derived from coal power plants, which is an extremely dirty source of energy. It's important that Ashland implements widespread renewable energy sources in order to find a way to escape the high percentage of coal in Blue Sky's energy mix. 5/24/2016 6:01 PM 71 I imagine that building consume the most energy in Ashland.

Would like to see commuter bike stations, electric bus, train through valley. 5/24/2016 5:53 PM 73 Water the most vital need 5/24/2016 5:50 PM 74 Transportation largest contributor to GHGs, then use of natural gas in home heating! 5/24/2016 5:48 PM 75 Seems to be the highest offender 5/24/2016 3:27 PM 76 The high volume of fossil fuel vehicles both in and especially visiting the city. 5/24/2016 3:25 PM 77 I believe that in our mobile society that if we address transportation and land use issues that many of the other influences on climate change will fall into place. 5/24/2016 1:45 PM 78 Reducing vehicle use through biking, walking, public transit has other benefits to the local economy and public health, as well as community networking. It is an easy way to make a large impact. 5/24/2016 10:54 AM 79 Reducing CO2 in Ashland will have close to zero impact. However, we should do our best to be good stewards, and reducing our reliance on polluting energy sources is something we should do because it is the right thing on many levels. Home and business energy use is a major component of that. 5/24/2016 9:24 AM 80 Question two highest priority is because of all living creatures need protection from people. 5/24/2016 9:23 AM 81 Where we can get the most "bang for our buck" in our town 5/24/2016 9:12 AM 82 Solar energy, captured, stored and used in each vehicle is the most renewable resource we have, and the cleanest alternative we have, and we should place a higher priority on its development. 5/23/2016 10:29 PM 83 My main interest is in carbon sequestration which can be done in an urban environment as mentioned in #3. We are surrounded by forests, and have a gmo free county to support all of which are important components of C.C. 5/23/2016 9:52 PM 6 / 30 Ashland Climate and Energy Action Plan: Public Input Survey
