Actions You Can Take

Edmonds' 2023 Climate Action Plan highlights the most effective steps individuals, households, and organizations in Edmonds can take. This list is not exhaustive but emphasizes actions with the greatest potential to reduce your greenhouse gas emissions. Not all actions apply to all of our community; pursue those most relevant to you. 

  1. Replace fossil-fuel burning heating, hot water, and cooking appliances with efficient electric alternatives.
  2. Reduce vehicle trips by taking transit, telecommuting, biking, or walking.
  3. Replace fossil-fuel burning vehicles with electric vehicles.
  4. Conserve energy whenever possible, especially from fossil fuels.
