Sierra Club California policy advocates select the California Legislative bills that appear on the 2015 Score Card of the state's elected officials.

The selection is based on factors that include a bill’s overall importance to the state’s environmental quality, the precedent it sets for good or bad impacts, and the bill’s importance to fulfilling the Club’s mission.

Nearly twice as many California Senators as Assembly members scored a 100% on Sierra Club California’s 2015 legislative report card. It measures how often they voted with the Club’s recommendations on a list of priority bills that would protect the environment and public health.

For those keeping score, Los Angeles has racked up definite points in improving its green image this year. The city that by 2025 promises to be coal-free and reduce greenhouse gases by 45% has taken more strides with renewable energy sources in the last six months than some cities have done in years. Here are three programs keeping the city on its green track.
