Commit to a Fossil Free Fairfax County!

Fairfax County Board of Supervisors

We can build a fossil free world. Let's start with Fairfax County.

We are asking the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors to adopt a resolution to set 100% renewable energy goals, oppose new fossil fuel infrastructure, and divest from fossil fuel companies. Check out our Fossil Free Fairfax resolution at http://bit.ly/FFXFossilFreeResolution and then sign the petition.

We will hand-deliver the petition and resolution to Chairman McKay and the other Fairfax County Board members at the January 28, 2020, Board of Supervisors public hearing.

Overwhelming scientific evidence has confirmed that climate change is accelerating and poses a significant threat to local economies, human health, and quality of life. Fairfax County has a responsibility to its residents, the country, and the world to accelerate the transition to 100% clean, renewable energy and to oppose new fossil fuel infrastructure.

We call on the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors to pass the attached resolution to set 100% renewable energy goals, oppose new fossil fuel infrastructure, and divest from fossil fuel companies. We believe such action on behalf of Fairfax County residents will be a sound decision not only for the county's economy but also for the well-being of its current and future residents, who deserve access to family-sustaining jobs and a high quality of life.

For the good of Fairfax County, the Commonwealth of Virginia, and our nation, and to preserve the quality of life for this and future generations worldwide, we call on you to join the growing movement of cities, towns, and counties around the country that have committed to a fast and just transition to 100% renewable energy for all.
