The plan to promote more innovative and environment conscious building construction and regulation should put Evanston on track to meet the goals of their climate action and resilience plan, which includes cutting down building energy consumption to 65% of 2005 levels by 2035 to dramatically reduce carbon emissions, a quick content warning coming up. This story deals with sexual assault.
