This regularly-scheduled sponsored column is written by the Arlington Initiative to Rethink Energy team (AIRE). This county program helps you make smart energy decisions that save you money and leaves a lighter footprint on the environment.
This week we are highlighting an upcoming event sponsored by EcoAction Arlington, Coalition for Smarter Growth and Encore Learning.
On April 9 from 7-9:00 p.m., former Arlington County Board Chair Jay Fisette will present Al Gore’s compelling slide deck on the climate crisis. Mr. Fisette will then facilitate a panel featuring:
- Demetra McBride, Bureau Chief, Arlington County Office of Sustainability and Environmental Management
- Timothy DelSole, George Mason University Professor and co-Chief Editor of the Journal of Climate
- Paul Bledsoe, Progressive Policy Institute and national media contributor on climate policy and politics
- Scott Sklar, President of the Stella Group and an expert on clean energy technologies.
The panel will cover the challenges we face, progress made and the path forward. What is Arlington doing to respond to climate change? What is the Green New Deal? And what is the status of batteries and EVs?
This event is free and open to all, but space is limited. Register here.
