I started today as the Executive Director of Menlo Spark, "a nonprofit collaboration of local government, businesses, and residents helping Menlo Park adopt a suite of measures by 2025 that are necessary to reach zero carbon by 2030, as we advance equity, economic vitality, and community health."
Menlo Park was one of the first California cities to enact "reach codes" that extended beyond state requirements for buildings to essentially eliminate gas use in new buildings. The hope is that we can continue to push the envelope and provide a model for elsewhere.
Day One was great, and we'll see what happens!
