We're starting 2022 grounded in our demands for a just transition to a stable climate future!
We had to postpone our October 9th Climate Town Hall due to the rising Covid-19 cases in Lane County. We have rescheduled for Saturday, January 29th. We are keeping a close eye on the new Omicron variant numbers. Unless public activities are closed, we plan to proceed to hold our “Plug in to a Clean Future” event at the Campbell Center, from 1:30 to 4:00 pm. There will be speakers, teach-ins, including electrification experts & EV and e-bike displays. Watch our calendar for details/changes. Electrification is the future!
In the place of the October teach-ins, we made a video series about the virtues of electrification and the evils of methane gas. (A sort of dress rehearsal for the Town Hall...) Check them out here!

We need policies that end our reliance on fossil fuels. That means we have to electrify our buildings and we have to do it QUICK. It might cost more now to construct all-electric buildings, but in the long run, decarbonizing the built environment is exactly the kind of bold decisions the climate emergency demands.

We turned out before the holidays to urge our beloved Eugene Family YMCA to consider more measures to reduce the new YMCA's carbon footprint. We engaged the staff and public and had some good conversations. The Y heard us (it was during their board meeting!) and are making some modifications to their plans. What we want is for our favorite institutions to START their building planning process with the future of their customers in mind. We're running out of time. Electrify!
The seas are rising, and so are we.
