On Feb. 3, Mayor Lester Friedman held a sustainability edition of his “Les is More: An Hour with the Mayor” series. Friedman was joined by panelists from the city’s Public Works department, including Director Shana Epstein, Environmental Compliance and Sustainability Programs Manager Josette Descalzo and Sustainability Program Administrator Amanda Grossman. The event focused on important sustainability initiatives in the city and shared information on how Beverly Hills is preparing for a sustainable, resilient and eco-friendly future.
In the United States, the responsibility for implementing carbon emission reduction measures falls on state and local government, as opposed to the federal government. As a result, Friedman asked the Public Works department about the initiatives the city has undertaken to reduce carbon emissions.
