"In 2006, Chattanooga joined 235 other communities when Mayor Ron Littlefield signed the US Conference of Mayors Climate Protection Agreement. The agreement asks that participating cities lower their carbon emissions and lessen their individual impact on global climate change. Today the number of participating cities has swelled to over 800. Each city faces unique challenges and has unique resources to help meet this important goal. Chattanooga’s greatest resource is its citizens!"
