What kind of specific timeline have you outlined for electrifying the bus fleet and other city-owned vehicles such as police vehicles? Also, do you have plans to make EV charging and/or purchasing easier for low income community members?
This question has been answered live
our corn unique short growing period but cos of cli,ate evn this corn is devatated so vavaho community no longer has food security
compel utilities come back into communities - use some of the now idol asseys
invest in navaho renewable energy projects
power plant has gone but transmission lines still there so why not use
hard to wrap mind around beyond carbon but need to keep explorig it
contracts/leases were ne sided - eg wiaiving use of upper basin water for free- 50 year owners of electricity utlity gort warer for free
host communities need tobe transparently included in utlilities

Great points. We need to see indigenous economies as critical to the Arizona economy. In Tempe we co-produced this Indigenous Foodways Yearbook to highlight leaders in the Arizona food economy. Indigenous communities and indigenous concepts of resilience need to be centered in our climate action work and investments. https://www.tempe.gov/home/showdocument?id=85616
