SUMMARY:Climate Restoration: Why restoring a safe climate is the only way to sustain humanity
DESCRIPTION:Most climate action aims to reduce emissions. That’s important…and now wholly insufficient. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nMost climate action aims to reduce emissions. That’s important…and now wholly insufficient. To regain a historically safe climate\, we also need to remove the backlog of a trillion tons of CO2 from the atmosphere by 2050. \nIs that even possible?  Who’s working on it\, and what can everyone do? \nJoin Carole Douglis\, co-author of “Climate Restoration: The Only Future That Will Sustain the Human Race” for a conversation that will transform your thinking about climate. \nQuestions about this program? Contact the branch 240-773-9515. \nLooking for more fun things to do at MCPL? Events \nTake a look at these resources for Climate Change. Don’t have a card right now?  No worries!  Find out how to Get a Library Card. \nAccommodation Requests \nPeople who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing should request English-language captioning or sign-language interpretation at least five days before the library-sponsored program they plan to attend.

SUMMARY:November Clean Energy Shepherds Call: Read your energy bill after going solar
DESCRIPTION:Has your congregation gone solar\, but now you aren’t sure how to read your electric bill or can’t tell how your house of worship is benefitting or how much money you’re saving? \nOver the past year\, we’ve heard from several area congregations with solar panels that they need help understanding how exactly they’re benefitting from the solar energy they’re generating \nJoin Interfaith Power and Light on Nov 25 at 7pm ET to learn how to read your solar congregation’s electric bill\, understand what your electric bill doesn’t tell you\, and how to determine what your savings and what your house of worship would be paying for energy without your solar panels. \nPlease come to the call with the most recent electricity bill for your solar congregation (all pages)\, as well as the last year’s worth of solar production for each month in Wh or kWh.
