■ Kim Dillon serves as a meteorologist in the city of Phoenix,Arizona. A
graduate of Arizona State University, Kim Dillon has served as a dynamic
TV personality and lifestyle expert for the city for many years.As a city
impacted by global warming, Phoenix recently reduced its greenhouse
emissions by a large margin.
Known for its dry, hot climate and the infamous "brown cloud" looming
over the city, Phoenix has made positive changes to improve its
environmental impact. At the recent Go Green Conference, Mayor Greg
Stanton announced that the city as a whole has lowered its emissions by
7.2 percent since 2005, which exceeds its long-term goal of 5 percent by
2015.Vice Mayor Bill Gates hopes to approve a new plan to reduce the
city’s emissions by 15 percent by 2015.
Much of the city’s success in reducing emissions is a result of reducing
methane gas produced by landfills, as well as a heavier reliance on solar
projects. In addition, Phoenix recently switched to clean fuel for more than
half of the city's vehicles.
