SUMMARY:[CANCELLED] Nature Night: Recreation for Everyone
DESCRIPTION:This event has been canceled due to snow and will be rescheduled.  \nPhoto: Tyler Roemer \nAs the second in its winter Nature Nights series\, the Land Trust is offering a free presentation on the impacts of outdoor recreation. \nRecent surveys show that over half of all Americans participate in some form of outdoor recreation. However\, despite public lands being for everyone\, the demographics of outdoor recreationists do not often reflect the diversity that we see in our country. Join Dr. Ashley D’Antonio as we discuss who is recreating on our public lands\, who is missing from these outdoor spaces\, and what science can\, and can’t\, tell us about issues of diversity\, equity\, and inclusion in outdoor recreation. The talk will highlight some of the great work being done in the Pacific Northwest\, and around the United States\, to promote inclusivity and diversity in the outdoors and suggest ways that you can get involved. \nThis presentation is free\, but you must get your ticket online.

SUMMARY:Power Hour: Demystifying the Cost of Building a Zero Energy Home
DESCRIPTION:Please RSVP in advance – space is limited.\nJoin the Environmental Center and Earth Advantage for our February Power Hour! \nBuilding a home that produces as much energy as it needs is no longer a dream or distant goal. We often see hyper-efficiency in custom luxury homes\, but there are builders today (in our own community) that can build market rate zero energy homes. \nWhether you’re a curious homeowner or building professional\, join us on February 28th for an engaging and thought-provoking discussion around big picture concepts and specific\, prioritized building techniques for a zero energy project – and the dollars-and-cents of such an undertaking. \nCome learn about the many benefits of building zero energy from day one of design\, and how this approach will make your home more comfortable\, quieter\, and healthier for decades to come. \nSpeakers: \n\nBruce Sullivan\, owner of Base zero\, has been helping people improve energy efficiency for more than 30 years. He has a passion to make sustainable building the norm for new construction.\nDave and Tina Cady started Performance Homes to make a difference in home building. Their passion stems from previous jobs as home performance contractors\, which led them to refine their own construction process. In 2018\, they earned Earth Advantage’s “Home Builder of the Year” as well as “Lowest EPS Score” awards.\n\nAgenda: \n\nNetworking: 5:00 to 5:30 pm\nPresentation + Q&A: 5:30 to 6:30\nNetworking and mingling with speakers: 6:30 to 7:00\n\nThank you sponsors: Worthy Brewing and Energy Trust of Oregon.

SUMMARY:Clean Energy Jobs Hearing
DESCRIPTION:The Joint Committee on Carbon Reduction is holding a series of public hearings on Clean Energy Jobs all throughout the state. On March 2nd\, they’re stopping in Bend. This is your perfect opportunity to tell them why you support the Clean Energy Jobs bill. \nIf you plan to attend\, please RSVP here!\nThis event will be held at Central Oregon Community College\, Cascade Hall\, Room 246-248. \nEven if you don’t plan to speak during the hearing\, it’s important to show up! We must demonstrate to our Legislators that there is support for Clean Energy Jobs in Central Oregon. \nThe Clean Energy Jobs Bill (HB 2020) would cap carbon emissions for large industrial polluters\, set a price on each ton of carbon pollution\, require large polluters to pay to pollute\, and then invest that money into building Oregon’s renewable energy economy. Passing this bill is the most important next step Oregon can take to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. And we have the best opportunity to pass it this year. \nFor those who do want to testify… There will be an informational prep event on Friday\, March 1st\, where you can ask questions and get help preparing your testimony.
