Celebrate The Arroyo -- December 2023
100% Carbon Free Electricity by 2030?
Council to Decide Monday Evening
Last January the Pasadena City Council adopted a goal of carbon free electricity by 2030. Now the Pasadena Water & Power Department is presenting a weak plan for Council approval that only promises to achieve 55% carbon free power by 2028 with vague promises for anything more. Pasadena 100, the community coalition of organizations and climate activists, urges you to attend the Council Meeting and insist on no more fossil fuels by 2030.

How About a Living River?
Arroyo Seco veterans know that the promise of a stream restoration, particularly in Pasadena's Lower Arroyo, has been studied and promised by local officials for many decades. Well, now Pasadena and South Pasadena have acquired a substantial amount of money for Arroyo "restoration," but it all seems to be going to plumbing, pipes and tanks.
San Rafael Creek, near the South Pasadena border, has been a particularly promising opportunity for stream restoration, but the new plans now would add tanks and pipes and more concrete clutter.
