The Eau Claire City Council was the first Wisconsin municipality to set a carbon neutral goal, passing a resolution in March 2018. City council member Kate Beaton said the council was frustrated by the U.S. withdrawal and wanted to commit to the Paris climate agreement’s goals.
"There's a lack of action on the federal and even the state level to do our part to make sure we’re protecting our communities from climate change," Beaton said. "So we are adding to this movement that is empowering local communities to cut carbon emissions locally."
