SUMMARY:Solar Within Reach: Affordable Homes. MIcrogrids and Resiliency for Government and Business
DESCRIPTION:Parkway Village Project\nJoe Mazzarella\, Sunlight Solar\nJacob Clark\, Habitat for Humanity \nCurious about how to afford solar and/or energy efficiency? A new program through Energy Trust of Oregon offers opportunities for individuals and builders.\nLearn how these incentives were used to build a Net Zero Energy subdivision in SunRiver\, OR. Installed equipment lowered energy bills. Learn about other solar and efficiency incentives that are available to individuals that are below an income threshold. These can be used on many different types of single family and multifamily dwellings. \nMIcrogrid and Storage: Driving Independence and Resiliency Through Your Energy Infrastructure\nJoe Mankiewicz and Jeremy Fuller\, Ameresco\nEnergy infrastructure is critical to health\, business\, and many other aspects of life. What do you do when your power goes out. Ameresco will discuss how it helps organizations meet energy saving and energy management challenges with an integrated comprehensive approach to energy efficiency and renewable energy. Leveraging budget neutral solutions\, including energy savings performance contracts (ESPCs) and power purchase agreements (PPAs)\, we eliminate the financial barriers that traditionally hamper energy efficiency and renewable energy projects.\nExamples will be provided of selected energy management from the commercial\, industrial\, local\, state and federal government\, K-12 education\, higher education\, and/or healthcare and public housing sectors.

SUMMARY:Oregon Climate Action Plan Town Hall
DESCRIPTION:Make Your Voice Heard! \nWe need your help protecting the Oregon Climate Action Plan (OCAP) from the fossil fuel industry! In two weeks\, join Oregon League of Conservation Voters for a virtual town hall hosted by the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality\, and speak up in support of a strong climate action plan! Sign up here! \nAfter Governor Brown signed the Oregon Climate Action Plan last March\, state agencies have begun making plans to implement it and reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. This is great—except\, some of these plans are not strong enough\, and polluting industries are trying to weaken them even further. The fossil fuel industry will stop at nothing to save themselves\, even if it means destroying our planet and putting our communities at risk. \nThat’s where we come in. This is a climate crisis—a climate emergency\, and we’re seeing the effects firsthand during this intense wildfire season. We have no time to waste! We need to make sure that the Oregon Climate Action Plan is as strong as possible for future generations. Please join one of the Department of Environmental Quality’s virtual town halls and drown out the voices of big polluters! \nUsing the form below\, RSVP to (virtually!) You can attend whichever of the town halls works best for you! \nHere are the dates: \nThursday\, Oct. 1\, 5 p.m. – 8 p.m.\nThursday\, Oct. 8\, 5 p.m. – 8 p.m.\nWednesday\, Oct. 14\, 1 p.m. – 4 p.m.
