2. The Green Play book
A consortium of more than 20 local governments, non-profit organizations, government agencies, and utilities have produced the first phase of the Playbook to help promote the goals set out in the U.S. Conference of Mayors Climate Protection Agreement. More than 600 mayors, representing more than 50 million U.S. residents, have signed the agreement, which commits communities to reducing greenhouse gas emissions to the targets set in the Kyoto Protocol.

There is a whole section on Green Neighborhoods.

Have Mayor Fahey, Mayor Hanafan et al signed this.
