Building a Brighter Future: How Solar is Empowering Schools and Cities Across the Nation
2022-09-15 12:00 - 13:00 UTC | Online
Schools are poised to play a leadership role in the clean energy transition, inspiring students, staff, school districts, and communities to flip the switch to a healthier, more resilient future.
The benefits of going solar are catching on in school districts from New York to California as a way to reduce energy costs, lower carbon emissions, and empower healthy communities by providing students and teachers with hands-on learning, job training, and curriculum development.
Using New York City as a model, our expert panel will explore rooftop solar programs at the local and national levels, the “how-to’s” of launching solar on schools initiatives, best practices, and lessons learned. Come away inspired by success stories and the impacts that solar schools are making in classrooms, communities, and across the nation.
Panelists:

Michael Mahal, Senior Program Manager, Generate Capital
Rory Eblen, Project Manager, New York City Department of Education (DOE)
Geovani Caldero, K-12 Environmental Educator & Workforce Instructor, Solar One
Tish Tablan, Program Director, Generation 180

Christian Bitters, Managing Director, Edison Energy

Street Tree TLC
2022-06-11 09:00 - 12:00 (America/New_York) | NJ
Our street trees are our most prominent nonhuman neighbors and they work hard all year long to defend us from the impacts of climate change. But who takes care of them and how? The answer is YOU CAN, and we’ll show you how.

Join Stuy Cove Park and Citizen Pruner Rachel Tenney on June 11th at 9am and get hands-on experience tending to street trees. We’ll meet at Stuy Cove Park, dig up some native plants, and then walk to Avenue D and 8th street where we’ll care for the tree pits outside the Girls Club of the Lower East Side and Community Access, a supportive housing residence for folks living with mental health challenges. Come play in the tree pits, plant some native plants, and learn about our city’s citizen pruner program.
