Energy Efficient Cities
and How You Can Help


Rita Beving, Dallas Sierra Club

New opportunities in encouraging cities to do the following:

• Create local renewable and energy efficiency districts which would provide homeowners and businesses low interest loans for installing energy efficiency improvements or solar panel arrays through recent state legislation (HB1937).Some of you may recognize the program as PACE or Property-Assessed Clean Energy Financing Districts.

• Proactively adopt new energy codes which will become a statewide minimum for new construction.

• Passing an ordinance that would assist residential and commercial buildings to undergo energy efficiency retrofits.

Arlington Conservation Council is an environmental non-profit organization involved with conservation efforts in Arlington, TX, and the surrounding Dallas-Fort Worth area.

Our mission is to promote environmental awareness and conservation of Arlington’s natural resources. Our focus is narrow, but our needs are great — and growing fast as we recognize the need to live in a sustainable culture.

Arlington has now grown to be the 49th largest city in the nation. As we continue to grow, our city becomes more crowded, our air is dirtier, our water supply shrinks, and our hope for adequate open spaces lessens with each development. For years we’ve worked with other local non-profit groups and city officials to make things better right here at home. There's a lot to do, but with your help we can make a crucial difference.
