SOLAR POWER OPTIONS FOR CONSUMERS
Sunday, Oct 25, 3-5 pm (virtual)

You are invited to a free, virtual consumer education workshop, hosted by The Climate Change Working Group of Frederick County. This workshop is for electricity customers who want information about the different renewable energy options. Not all models for obtaining solar power require the installation of panels, and some can offer immediate power savings, with no upfront costs, making them well-suited for low and moderate income households (including renters).

Attendees will learn from energy experts how to shop for electricity through the Public Service Commission and compare Community Solar and Solar Co-ops to home solar installation. They will also learn about the prospects for Community Choice Aggregation renewable energy.

Aging Well Event: Introduction to Drawdown: Reversing Global Warming

Thursday, Oct. 29, noon -1:30 p.m.

Pachamama Alliance's Project Drawdown is a coalition of more than 200 researchers and other experts from 22 countries, who identified and modeled the 100 most substantive, already existing solutions for addressing global warming. They revealed astounding news: that it is possible not just to slow global warming, but to actually reverse it by 2050.

Information will be shared by Drawdown volunteer presenter Lore Rosenthal, Program Coordinator for the Greenbelt Climate Action Network.

Virtual events are free and open to all, but do require registration. Go to for more https://www.villageoftakomapark.com information.

Inspired by the work of Dr Doug Tallamy and his book "Nature's Best Hope," I'm launching a project under the name Rewild Montgomery with a goal of having 2,021 new or expanded native plant gardens in Montgomery County, Maryland in 2021 (Fall 2020 plantings will count, as they'll start to benefit the ecosystem next year.)

There's a web landing page for the project hosted by ClimateYogi with a link to a form to enter information about the planting.

My hope is that the Rewild Montgomery 2021 Project will be a benefit to everyone interested in native plants and local biodiversity, by being another voice to raise awareness about their importance.

Contact information is on the site, and I welcome hearing from people who'd like to participate in this effort.
