Dear Council Member ________, I am writing to voice my enthusiastic support of Bill 95, which provides the necessary funds to create a St. Louis County Climate Action Plan. As global temperatures rise, disasters like the recent EF3 tornado that recently devastated the city will become more frequent and more destructive. We must be prepared, and preparation requires planning. A robust Climate Action Plan stands to save lives and money in our county.
