In Rennes Métropole, if you change, it changes everything!15 July 2011 | 10h26 | 150 visits The urban community of Rennes Métropole (France) launched its ENGAGE Campaign: "Je change, ça change tout" (I change, it changes everything). The urban community has been committed to reducing CO2 emissions since 2008, with the objective of -20% by 2020. A commitment that was strengthened by the unanimous adoption of the urban community Climate Action Plan in October 2010. Each municipality has already worked on its Sustainable Energy Action Plan - SEAP, that have all been completed AND applied. Brendan Catherine, environment and energy manager for the Rennes urban community is convinced that we have to raise awareness among citizens, companies, to encourage a general action, and turn individual initiatives into a collective move. The citizens of Rennes had the opportunity to have their photograph taken during a green festival, Naturazik, and to get their poster for free! On www.ca-change-tout.fr, you can support the Campaign, find information on how to save energy in the fields of housing, mobility and food and share best practices and promote your engagements on a forum. The City of Rennes and Rennes Métropole are signatories of the Covenant of Mayors. © image Rennes Métropole |
