Eagle Harbor Congregational Church will host the Climate Voters Guide, part of the BI Climate & Energy discussion series, at 10 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 20.

The forum is a chance for islanders to join a conversation on climate impacts and related issues on the November ballot.

Topics include Initiative 1631, which would enact a carbon emissions fee of $15 per metric ton of carbon beginning on Jan. 1, 2020, as well as the Bainbridge Island SAFE Mobility Levy.

I-1631 would use revenue from the fee to fund various programs and projects related to the environment.

The $15 million SAFE levy would raise property taxes for seven years on Bainbridge to fund non-motorized transportation projects. Demi Allen, a transportation advocate, will speak about the SAFE levy.

For further information, contact Mike Cox at toxman57@gmail.com or go to BainbridgeIslandForum.org.
