It’s Time for Jacksonville to Reduce its Contribution to Global Warming

Did you know Jacksonville Electric Authority plants emit more than seven million megatons of GHGs per year and account for more than 90% of the regional emissions?

Though Jacksonville has many sources of greenhouse gas emissions, the city-owned utility has been one of the primary sources of greenhouse gas emissions in Duval County for decades!

Jacksonville's Mayor, Ms. Donna Deegan, acknowledges climate change is real and needs to be addressed through carbon emissions reduction. Yet, City Council members do not consider the city's contribution to global warming or the need to lessen our contribution to carbon emissions.

Take action today: Urge the City of Jacksonville to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by transitioning to renewable energy sources!

These Council members should not be allowed to deny the reality of climate change and not support carbon emissions reduction.

Send a message to the City of Jacksonville today! Let them know it's time for Jacksonville and its municipal utility to reduce contributions to global warming and improve the lives of people in our region.

With the acceleration of global warming, it’s time for Jacksonville to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by transitioning to renewable energy sources. As a Jacksonville resident, I am asking you to identify the city’s sources of greenhouse gas emissions and take steps to reduce the emissions. Further, I am asking you to pressure JEA, our municipal utility, to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. Twelve mid to large-size Florida cities have committed to powering all of their municipal operations, businesses, and homes with renewable energy on or before 2050. It is time for Jacksonville to join them by making a similar commitment. Thank you for your consideration.
