Berkeley’s budget outlook is improving…
…and so is the air.
Click here to read a summary of yesterday’s state of Berkeley address given by Mayor Bates. I’m still a little hesitant to believe green house gases have been reduced by 14% in Berkeley. Maybe as a whole, but I don’t think that would hold true for west Berkeley.
Other articles related to reducing green house gases in Berkeley:

- Update from Phil Kamlarz on Bio-Diesel and city vehicles.(4/12/05)
*I’m still not clear on how the City calculates the reduction, especially when the amount of bio-diesel used for city vehicles has gone up since they stopped using 100% bio-diesel earlier last year (see link to Phil Kamlarz update above). If I can find a better description of the figures and method they used to calculate this, I will post it. In the meantime, I’ll just have to wonder.
