Climate and Energy Action Plan (CEAP)

33 The things we are most dependent on are food and water. 6/1/2016 6:13 PM 34 I believe this category is greatest source of emissions. If I'm mistaken, I would hope our efforts would focus on the areas that presently create the greatest volume of emissions and that present opportunities for emissions reductions. 6/1/2016 6:08 PM 35 - can be implemented immediately - potentially has the most impact 6/1/2016 4:55 PM 36 I would like the City to make the things it controls/influences the priority in the plan 6/1/2016 3:17 PM 37 None of the above. "Greenhouse Gas" is one of the biggest misinformation propaganda pseudoscience con jobs out there. 6/1/2016 3:07 PM 38 It is something many can do and control 6/1/2016 2:25 PM 39 Affordable, and multi-use housing, in addition to tiny housing is a priority for making our community more diverse and balanced. We need more low-cost, mass transit options. 6/1/2016 2:22 PM 40 Greatest impact 6/1/2016 2:01 PM 41 Building materials and waste (from remodels as well as new), energy efficiency of buildings, water efficiency of buildings, whether buildings are equipped to use grey water are all major factors in reducing greenhouse gas emissions (if you look at cradle to grave of materials manufactured/shipped/used/disposed). With so many wealthy Ashland residents doing home remodels, we could encourage use of local, durable, non-plastic materials - same for home and garden furnishings. 6/1/2016 1:47 PM 42 This section didn't work in my phone but I pick transportation as number 1because I believe it has the most potential for change. Electric cars, better bike and pedestrian facilities and improved transit are crucial 6/1/2016 1:28 PM 43 It seems like the major use of energy is in heating, lights, etc, for home and business, so using renewables is important. 6/1/2016 1:27 PM 44 Need to reduce car trips, especially downtown. More bike lanes and facilities, a local trolley or shuttle service for residents and visitors, and improved pedestrian facilities. 6/1/2016 1:13 PM 45 Because creating electricity causes the most greenhouse gas emissions. Even if our local power is mostly hydro- generated, we need to switch to renewables for the future. 6/1/2016 1:10 PM 46 on the City level it seems like there are Codes that can be implemented. other items are less enforceable. 6/1/2016 12:51 PM 47 I think consumption and waste addresses more than just climate change. It also addresses the amount of landfill resources. 6/1/2016 12:49 PM 48 I believe it has the most potential to reduce our communities GHG emissions over the long run. 6/1/2016 12:38 PM 49 Buildings and energy have the lowest hanging fruit for change. 6/1/2016 10:53 AM 50 Buildings and energy are the lowest hanging fruit. 6/1/2016 10:48 AM 51 Despite impacts from buildings, growth rate in Ashland is relatively low, and I think there's more bang for our buck in sustainable planning (transportation and land use). 5/31/2016 7:09 PM 52 They are all high priority. If I took the survey again, I might change rankings. 5/29/2016 7:08 AM 53 Virtually everything we use here is brought to us by convoys of polluting 18-wheelers. Virtually everyone owns a car and our streets are full. 5/28/2016 10:39 AM 54 It has the greatest negative impact. 5/27/2016 12:47 PM 55 Transportation is usually the highest emitter of GHG 5/26/2016 11:22 AM 56 We should keep the forest green 5/26/2016 9:48 AM 57 Transportation is a very high portion of GHG based on the inventory. Buildings are important but a lot of the city's energy is renewable. 5/25/2016 10:40 PM 58 Transportation accounts for a quarter of Ashland's GHG emissions. Vehicular transportation consumes an unnecessarily large portion of land and resources. 5/25/2016 3:07 PM 59 Natural systems is a much more feasible way financially, resources/ecologically, wildlife, and for the health and overall being of the forests, trees, citizens and tourist 5/25/2016 7:10 AM 60 I think that is where we use the most harmful resources. But I'm not sure!! I could easily change my mind with facts. 5/25/2016 2:57 AM 61 Home energy consumption strategy can lead to the most carbon reductions. 5/24/2016 8:29 PM 62 I am responding to what I thought was a large contributor to GHG emissions in Ashland. 5/24/2016 7:51 PM 4 / 26 Ashland Climate and Energy Action Plan: Public Input Survey
