Yellowstone-Teton Clean Cities will be participating in a panel discussing climate change in our community with our perspective of how alternative fuels and sustainable transportation can positively impact climate change. The event description is as follows:
In the run-up to the Global Climate Action Summit in San Francisco from September 12 to 14, we will bring the global climate discussion down to the local level.
