Cities occupy only 3% of the Earth’s surface. Notwithstanding this fact, they account for between 60% and 80% of energy consumption and 75% of carbon emissions. It is clear that a change must be brought about in the social and economic system, a change in which energy efficiency and renewable energies must be the mainstays of a cleaner and more sustainable model.

And to do so, we need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere.

These are Massachusetts’ emerging Hispanic leaders, chosen by MassLive readers
In recognition of Hispanic Heritage Month, which runs from Sept. 15 through Oct. 15, MassLive asked readers to identify emerging Hispanic and Latino leaders who are making a difference across the state.
The month-long celebration of Hispanic culture began in 1968 when Congress started Hispanic Heritage Week and then expanded to a month in 1988. The country’s Hispanic population — 62.5 million as of 2021 — is among its fastest growing populations.
