Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti: L.A. is stepping up to address #ClimateChange and lead the way into the future. We’re the # 1 solar city, have thousands of new green jobs and are making progress on our goal to make our city carbon neutral by 2050. #VX2019

California State Senator Bob Wieckowski: "At @VerdeXchange I announced a new bill, SB 168, to create a chief officer for climate adaptation in CA. #VX2019"

Pasadena Star News: Well before Gov. Brown signed his executive order calling for carbon neutrality by 2045, experts were puzzling over how to stop greenhouse gas emissions from homes and commercial buildings. Homes and commercial buildings are responsible for about 12 percent of California’s greenhouse gas emissions, and the goal is to make them carbon-neutral.  This week, some of those experts will gather at VerdeXchange, a clean technology conference in Los Angeles, to share their solutions.

Fox & Hounds: The 12th annual Verdexchange Conference kicked off in Los Angeles this week with a discussion on how the recent election results will boost environmental politics and the green economy in California. But in the tradition of the old Rodney Dangerfield joke that, “I went to a fight the other night and a hockey game broke out,” the panel discussion on elections and climate change took a wayward turn and targeted Proposition 13. Taxes seem to be on the mind of panelists to move the green agenda ahead.
