Cambridge City leaders are applauding new proposals to step up critical state funding and policy support for transitioning away from fossil fuels and preparing for extreme weather driven by climate change.

Install chess tables in parks, city squares and near libraries to foster fresh-air, brain training, and diverse intergenerational community interaction through chess and other board games!

The high temperatures and humidity in the summer can result in peak demand on New England’s electricity supply, especially during extreme heat, which can have air conditioners and fans working overtime.

Install electric vehicle (EV) charging stations at three city-owned parking lots and other locations designated by the City. More public chargers support EV adoption, which improves air quality and benefits our environment.

For those who wish to use gym equipment while breathing fresh air, these fitness facilities offer two outdoor gyms as alternatives to paid indoor gyms, and make working out accessible to people of all ages and abilities.

Let’s green our streets by planting 100 trees in neighborhoods lacking foliage! From cooling heat islands to cleaning our air, these trees will be a long-term investment in making our city a healthier, happier place.

Trees provide many benefits like shade, wildlife habitat, and natural beauty. Trees also help with carbon storage, stormwater control, and improved air quality. This proposal will plant new trees in Danehy Park and other needed areas around Cambridge.

The City of Cambridge is taking another step toward reducing noise and air pollution by officially prohibiting the use of gas-powered leaf blowers and requiring all users to transition to electric or battery-powered leaf blowers. This initiative aligns with the city’s commitment to protecting public health and reducing harmful emissions.
