SUMMARY:LOSN Sustainability & Resilience Tour
DESCRIPTION:After the Big Earthquake: Is Your Home Ready?\nIn Tilt\, a massive Cascadia earthquake reshapes the Pacific Northwest in an instant. Roads fracture. Power fails. Families are left to navigate a new reality. What would that look like here in Lake Oswego? \nAs part of the Lake Oswego Public Library 2026 LO Reads program\, the Lake Oswego Sustainability Network (LOSN) shares what real preparedness looks like — before disaster strikes. \nThis home and school tour shows how local residents and our school district are planning for the moment when the grid goes down. \nIf you were unable to attend or would like another look\, we have details from each home and school on the tour and links below to “visit” each location. \nThe Home Tour Includes:\n\nRooftop solar paired with battery storage to keep lights and appliances on during outages. Explore the Uplands Home\nElectric vehicles (EVs) capable of supplying emergency backup power to an entire home or essential appliances. Explore the Lake Forest Home\nWater catchment systems and resilient garden food production systems. Explore the First Addition Home\nFully electric homes powered by heat pumps and induction cooking — eliminating reliance on fossil fuels. Explore the Evergreen Home\nPractical strategies to maintain refrigeration\, heating\, cooking\, and communications during extended outages\n\nThese aren’t futuristic concepts — they are systems already installed in Lake Oswego homes. \nThe School Visit Includes:\n\nHow new schools are being built to Seismic Level 4\, meaning they can be occupied immediately after a major earthquake\nHow solar panels and battery storage support both daily operations and emergency needs\nHow electric school buses contribute to cleaner air\, battery storage and future resilienceIn an earthquake\, schools may become community lifelines. See how ours are preparing.\n\nDownload River Grove Elementary Details \nThis tour connects climate action with disaster readiness — because sustainability is not just about reducing emissions. It’s about ensuring our community can function when systems fail. \nPresented by: \n     \nThank you to our Tour Sponsors: PGE\, A&R Solar\, West & Co. Realty \n \n

SUMMARY:RENEWAL: A Journey Through The Big River with award-winning photographer\, author\, wildlife biologist\, and tracker David Moskowitz!
DESCRIPTION:Through photographs and stories from his travels across the vast Columbia River watershed\, David Moskowitz will take us on a journey exploring what “Renewal” looks like today for fish\, wildlife\, people\, and landscapes. Even as national headlines proclaim doom\, the human spirit of ingenuity\, compassion\, and respectful relations is flourishing in communities throughout the watershed\, often inspired by the river herself and the other living creatures whom we share the world with. \nFrom salmon streams restored\, cultural practices recovered\, agricultural practices remade\, and visions for electrical power transformed\, change is under way in how we understand and care for a river system which is so vital to the lives of so many.

SUMMARY:Repair Fair - Lake Oswego
DESCRIPTION:Experienced fixers will attempt to repair or mend your items and may teach you how to fix them yourself. There are no guarantees for a repair. Some items are more difficult to repair\, can take longer than we have time for at the event\, or even break more during a repair attempt. Fixers can diagnose an issue and offer their best\, unbiased advice. Our repair rate is over 75%. Some replacement parts may be available. \nExamples of possible repair include clothing\, textiles\, small electronics and small home appliances. Only bring items small enough to be easily carried by one person\, and do not bring any items that are leaking\, dangerous\, dirty or have a strong odor. We do not do clothing alternations. All clothing must be clean. \nOne broken item per person will be examined at a time. After each item is examined/repaired\, you may register another item.

SUMMARY:Lighten Your Energy Load
DESCRIPTION:Stop wondering where the power goes. Most of us see a monthly total on our utility bill\, but do you know which appliances are the real “energy hogs” in your home? To build a truly resilient\, solar-ready home\, you first have to understand your Energy Load. \nJoin Solar Oregon at Place to B to break down how Kilowatts (kW) drive your monthly usage. You’ll learn to identify the “heavy hitters” in your home\, compare them to efficient alternatives\, eliminate “Ghost Loads”\, and leverage peak-time savings programs. Whether optimizing your current home or planning a future solar and battery system\, you’ll gain the tools to manage your energy load efficiently. \nThis event hosted by Solar Oregon is FREE and open to everyone. Please RSVP to register. Snacks and beverages will be provided. \nThis workshop is made possible with support from the Energy Trust of Oregon\, and sponsorship by Place to B and Kaleido Studio.

We will work in interactive groups to map out our ultimate climate goals. As we talk\, a live visual artist will draw our collective hopes and dreams\, right before our eyes\, creating a vibrant\, visual blueprint for the rest of the week and beyond. \n\n\n10:00 am Law Professor Melissa Powers will set the stage for the day\, to help understand what is happening on climate policy and why. \nThen\, inspired by John Doerr’s Speed & Scale: An Action Plan for Solving Our Climate Crisis Now\, we will enjoy panels and workshops focused on the following topics: \n11:00 am Decarbonizing the Grid and Infrastructure: Learn about localized actions to decarbonize the grid on the neighborhood and individual residence level in ways that promote equity and resilience.
