Renewable Energy Fair
September 8, 2019 @ 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Do you want to find out how to switch to all renewable electricity? Are you trying to decide whether solar panels would work on your house? Do you know how to measure your carbon footprint?
To find answers to these questions and other energy-use matters, you are invited to attend a Renewable Energy Fair following Sanctuary worship. Representatives from renewable energy suppliers will be available to answer your questions and help you make the switch. There also will be a solar energy adviser. Please bring your electric bill.
Another important action is to calculate your carbon footprint. Information and help will be provided, and as well as an explanation of the carbon offset concept. For example, offset your air travel by paying into a project that reduces CO2 emissions by an equivalent amount. If you know your yearly electricity use (in kWh, from the electric company), your yearly gas use (in MCF or therms, from the gas company), and approximate annual miles traveled, the Environmental Team can help you determine your carbon footprint.
A light lunch will be provided. For more information, contact Nancy Heastings at n.heastings@comcast.net.
Hosted by the Environmental Team of the Justice Committee
