[=============] [Climate Conversations Banner]<www.cityoftacoma.org/climateconversations> This autumn, the City will host a free three-part series detailing Tacoma's climate risks and what we can do as a nation, state and city to reduce our climate pollution and improve our local environment while preparing for change. The series will bring regional experts together with local residents and decision-makers to discuss potential responses to the changing climate. The meetings coincide with the scheduled release of two new City documents: a Climate Change Risk Assessment and a 5-year Environmental Action Plan. For more information and to RSVP, visit www.<www.cityoftacoma.org/climateconversations>cityoftacoma.org/climateconversations<www.cityoftacoma.org/climateconversations>. 1.

[=============] Air Safe Pierce County [Wood Stove program]The City is supporting the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency and the Tacoma Pierce County Health Department's effort to clean up our air due to wintertime wood smoke. As of October 1, old, high-polluting wood stoves are now illegal in Tacoma and Pierce County. State and federal grants are available to residents to change out their uncertified woodstoves to cleaner heating devices. To learn more and to get on the waiting list, check out www.airsafepiercecounty.org. [=============] Downtown to Defiance [Downtown to defiance 3]Around 1,500 people participated in the 3rd-annual Downtown to Defiance event in September. Participants walked, biked, and rolled along more than 6 miles of waterfront streets without vehicle traffic, stopping along the way to enjoy live music, food trucks, and other fun activities. Thanks to Metro Parks Tacoma and all the partners and volunteers who helped to make this event possible!
