Mario has recognized for several years that climate change is real and is already affecting us here in Redlands. Most recently, he assisted with the launch of the local grassroots organization Accelerate Neighborhood Climate Action-Redlands, which held a series of informational talks in March around how climate change will impact us right here. He wants to work with residents, the City of Redlands, the County of San Bernardino, and the private sector to ensure we continue to take aggressive steps to address the heat, water, and other issues which are affecting us here in our City. Quality of life for Redlands residents is his overriding goal.
