TOWARD RENEWABLE ENERGY IN OUR HOMES AND COMMUNITIES

League of Women Voters Highland Park/Highwood is having an important presentation featuring a short video on climate change and an informed panel of speakers to discuss potential solutions to the problems of reliance on fossil fuels. The panel will include two speakers from the Climate Group of CAPA, Catherine Buntin and Jack Kelly. They are collaborating with the 350.org Fossil Free Fast Campaign locally and will discuss their work in Skokie and Wilmette to reduce reliance on fossil fuels. If you haven’t heard the phrase, “Fossil Free Fast,” you will leave the event with a good understanding of a snowballing campaign. Representatives from the cities of Highland Park and Highwood will also be on this panel. All panelists will discuss what’s happening here in Highland Park/Highwood and the surrounding municipalities to reduce reliance on fossil fuels. We will also discuss steps that can be taken, planned, or investigated at this time. The meeting will be chaired by Andy Amend. This event of the LWVHP/HWD is open to the public. Bring your friends!
