The city of Hutto has followed the lead of Austin and 19 other Texas cities in signing the U.S. Mayors Climate Protection Agreement. Like Elgin, Hutto is within the Envision Central Texas region. In all, 755 U.S. cities have committed to follow the goals of the international Kyoto Protocol – still unsigned by the U.S. Typical municipal actions include cutting greenhouse gas emissions and adopting anti-sprawl policies for land use. In 2010, Hutto plans to open its first dense, mixed-use development on 469 acres off State Highway 130. If little Hutto gets it, why not Washington D.C.?
