We are a growing group of McMinnville citizens who are concerned
about climate change and interested in what we can do to address it on a local level.
At the 2006 fall neighborhood City Council meetings, local residents
made it clear that maintaining livability is a top priority for our town. We have come to understand that taking proactive steps to
curtail climate change will increase economic health, prosperity, and livability in McMinnville.
Cool Mac is working to inspire our community to take action to reduce carbon emissions by 10% by 2010. We are joining communities across the country and around the world in this effort.

My name is Hillary and I’m a Reference Librarian at McMinnville Public Library. I’m so excited about CoolMac’s efforts!
I would like to encourage you to add a link to McMinnville Public Library (www.maclibrary.org) on your sidebar of Green Resources. Libraries provide the option of borrowing, instead of buying unnecessary paper products, as well as provide online access to many magazines and newspapers. I’d be happy to talk with anyone about this. Give me a call at 503-435-5554 or email hillary.garrett(at)ci.mcminnville.or.us

When you say joining communities around the country and the world, are you referring to the “Transitions” movement?

Thank you for your interest, Genna. The movement is ICLEI, an organization of cities that came out of the Kyoto Conference. Can you tell me more about the Transitions movement?
