Dear Camarillo City Council Members,
My name is Elizabeth Eversen, and I am a longtime Camarillo resident, mother, and business owner. I am writing to urge the Camarillo City Council to vote in support of passing this resolution, Agenda Item R, to phase out fossil fuels, defend safety setbacks, hold polluters accountable, and demonstrate the city’s commitment to uplifting youth voices.
I care about reducing fossil fuels, conserving our environment, and preventing wildfires.
These are the things the CFROG youth climate resolution advocates for. The science supports that we need to reduce our use of fossil fuels and transition to clean energy, something that I believe in as an engineer. I have traveled around the world and have seen the impacts of the climate crisis on communities worldwide.
I want to live in a Camarillo that listens to the voice of young people and people who care about our fellow community members and the environment. I hope that the City Council sees that what our young people are fighting for is worth it and will benefit all people in the community. Please approve Agenda Item R, the CFROG youth climate resolution, and stand with our youth like I am doing.
Thank you,
Elizabeth Eversen
