Title: The Carbon Charter
Description: As mayors and city councilors seek solutions to climate change, existing policies and legislation can stand in the way of effective change. The Carbon Charter is the first book to describe the municipal bylaws required to abate climate change and create sustainable communities. It provides city councilors with a cut-and-paste set of green bylaws and policies of best practices culled from environmentally advanced communities around the world. They can be taken straight out of the book, placed into a council agenda with minimum modification, and voted on.
