Request to Lewisboro Town Board to Issue Resolution in Support of Paris Climate Agreement
[signers - Lewisboro residents only please, and please note the Lewisboro hamlet you live in in the comments]
7 of 10 Americans favor US participation in the Paris Climate Agreement, and majority support is found in both major political parties and in every state. The recent declaration by the President that the United States will withdraw from the Paris Climate Agreement is therefore inconsistent with American public opinion, and puts the US in the position of thwarting global collaboration on this existential issue rather than leading. In light of this,
We, the undersigned residents of the Town of Lewisboro, personally commit to supporting the work of mitigating climate change, and urge our town board to issue a resolution
- in support of the Paris climate change agreement, and
- requesting the Federal government to reverse the recent declaration of withdrawal, and
- in support of New York State's intent to join the multi-state coalition working toward Paris goals.

The Town Board continues to dodge our emails and pretend this issue is above their pay grade. Climate change is already at our doorstep and their cowardice is an insult to every resident who wants a future for this town.

climate is not a political issue, it is about the survival of our children and grand children.
This is a Lewisboro issue, because it affects the lives and quality of life of everyone in Lewisboro now and for all generations to come.
We must take responsibility locally and individually. Future generations would want us to do everything possible to ensure what is needed to sustain life - clean water, soil, food, and air.
The Town supported the solarize program, so this is a logical continuation and extension of steps already taken.
I know Lewisboro will sign on because the Town Board is deeply invested in the future of our children, our planet and this beautiful corner of Northern Westchester we call home.

Literally nothing matters in our society if we do not have a healthy planet to live on.

I fully support that the Town of Lewisboro proceed with adopting the decision to follow the guidelines of the Paris Agreement regarding climate change and the environment IN SPITE OF Donald Trump's misguided decision to withdraw. Climate change is real and we must protect our children's future.
