Upper School students, parents, and Polytechnic School community members attended last week’s candlelight vigil at Pasadena City Hall. The event was hosted by PASADENA100, a coalition of local non-profit organizations advocating for Pasadena to use 100% carbon-free energy by 2030. The event celebrated the second anniversary of Resolution 9977, which the Pasadena City Council passed in commitment to transitioning to carbon-free energy by 2030, thanks in part to the lobbying efforts of Poly students. Pasadena Councilmember Jason Lyon P ’23 ’32 and Audrey M. ’27 both spoke to the urgency of the climate crisis.
