Orange County Global Warming Committee

Juicing Orange County is an effort to engage city leaders in Orange County to enact responsible, climate aware policies and programs. This program is led by the Orange County Global Warming Committee of the Angeles Chapter of the Sierra Club. Since 1892, the Sierra Club has been working to protect communities, wild places and the planet itself.
Recognizing the threat of climate change, under the leadership of Governor Schwarzenegger and the Legislature, the State of California has supported the study of global warming impacts and, through the passage of the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (AB 32), adopted greenhouse gas reduction plans. We can use our city policies throughout Orange County to be a key part of this effort.
As part of this groundswell of interest, the Juicing Orange County campaign will report efforts by city governments in Orange County to celebrate successes and highlight best practices for local government. Completed questionnaires will be reviewed in October and November, resulting in a report that will be publicly released in late 2009.
