The best way to focus the environmental plan is to start with those items which would cost the city little, if anything, or even produce positive paybacks.

I think that Phil Cotton should not be talking about the capability of acheiving financial goals when he has taken about $19,000 for himself that we know of. At least 1 program or improvement could have been made with the money he vectored to his own pocket

Kudos to the Environmental Advisory Committee for volunteering your time on behalf of a more environmentally efficient Encinitas.
What the city (community) can do, is take a more proactive position on litter prevention, collection and public smoking, which is a major source of pollution in our community. Cigarette butts remain the #1 discarded item on our streets today. While banning public smoking may not be the answer, designated smoking areas with receptacles may be. Designated smoking areas will allow non-smokers to stay clear of second hand smoke, while providing adequate receptacles for smoker’s butts.
