Carrboro 2009 Climate Protection Resolution
The Town of Carrboro will seek, and will facilitate the community at large, to cut CO2 emissions by its proportion of the amount which is required to stabilize the climate back to less than 350 ppm of CO2 in the atmosphere in time for a 90% probability for success as defined by the most up to date scientific consensus.
From Carrboro Vision 2020

5.52 The Town should set a goal of reduced energy costs in all Town buildings and increased fleet mileage for all town vehicles.
