Being a "Cool City" - Highland Park's Perspective.
Join the Highland Park League as they host a forum that will discuss the issues of being a Cool City from the City of Highland Park's perspective.
So what is a Cool City? These are cities that have made a commitment to stopping global warming by signing the U.S. Mayors' Climate Protection Agreement. Begun in 2005, the Cool Cities campaign empowers city residents and local leaders to join and encourage their cities to implement smart energy solutions to save money and build a cleaner, safer future.
