The Kane County Board in a 13-9 vote on Tuesday approved a climate action plan for the county. With the passing of a controversial plan designed to fight climate change, Kane County now has a goal of carbon neutrality by 2050.
“If we want to leave our area better and have a better quality of life, not only for our cities that we live in but the county and the state, we need to start something. We need to be proactive,” said Bill Tarver, District 10 County Board member. Those against the plan argued that it was unnecessary and threatened the freedoms of Kane County citizens, despite reassurances that the plan would not mandate anything. District 15 County Board member David Young said he had problems with every part of the plan.
Now that the plan is approved, the group that helped put together the plan, which was made up of county staff and other interested parties throughout the county, will meet to choose some “low-hanging fruit” from among the actions recommended by the plan, according to District 4 County Board member Mavis Bates.
