Annual Outreach Strategy
Many groups in the community we could reach out to to tackle climate action.
Kathy: incorporate materials from the ‘Be Cool’ Campaign.
Toolkit:
get one together, asap. Physical display, pamphlets. All the expected things.
Need to display the digestible parts of the plan.
Focus now is on the 10% energy reduction challenge.
Kill-a-Watt:
many places have them to borrow from the library, to look @ energy usage for individual citizens by appliances, etc. Bentley suggests we do it here!
Need 2 displays: transit, and house.
Very separate recommendations?
Need tactile things on the table: lightbulbs, weatherstripping, etc. Kill-a-watt?
Perhaps computer available with website, for people to browse?
Next meeting:
Ideas for SPLASH! Make people interested in this issue again.
