Cool Cities
Solving Global Warming One City at a Time: All over America, cities, counties and states are launching an exciting grassroots movement to help solve one of our country's most pressing problems: GLOBAL WARMING. Frustrated by stalling on the federal level, local leaders are moving forward with innovative energy solutions that cut our dependence on oil, benefit public health and save taxpayer dollars.
