Campaign connects with Marin and Napa!

The Marin Community Foundation recently awarded the Campaign and the WaterPlanet Alliance, a project sponsored by the Campaign, a grant to explore a climate protection partnership between Marin and Sonoma Counties. The MCF grant will also support the WaterPlanet Alliance’s public education and outreach regarding Community Choice Aggregation, including potential benefits, risks, and environmental and economic considerations.

In Napa County the Campaign will team up with MIG, a Berkeley-based consulting firm, for a climate protection “circuit rider” for Napa’s cities and the County. The Napa work is funded by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District.
