SUMMARY:Community Solar - The Best Kept Secret in Renewable Energy
DESCRIPTION:Community Solar is a great way to get the benefits of rooftop solar without the upfront investment. Where it’s available\, anyone with an electric bill can sign up—if you rent your home\, or have a shaded roof\, you can subscribe to a local solar farm and get 100% clean energy just like rooftop solar. By subscribing to these programs\, your utility is obligated to purchase energy on your behalf from small scale solar farms in your area. \nSubscribers experience a range of benefits\, including guaranteed renewable energy\, a discount on your energy bill\, and easy sign up and cancellation. Low-income subscribers can get an even larger discount on their bill. By connecting individuals\, businesses\, organizations\, communities and developers to solar energy\, community solar provides support to develop solar projects and expand access to clean energy to more communities across the country. \nJoin us on July 17th as we take a look at community solar and discuss the following:\nWhere is community solar available?\nHow does community solar work?\nWhat are the benefits of signing up for program?\nWhat are the benefits for low income subscribers?\nHow do I sign up?\nWhat happens if I move? \nThis webinar is part of the Electrify Now “Go Electric!” series developed in partnership with LEARN.

SUMMARY:Earth Month Forum: Get the latest scoop on healthy soil and how it affects our food
DESCRIPTION:Dr. David Montgomery\, internationally known expert and author on soil health and regenerative agriculture\, will cover the latest science in soil health and healthy food. The brewing soil health revolution cuts through standard debates about conventional and organic farming. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				On farms in both the industrialized and developing countries improving soil health through the adoption of three transformational farming practices—ditching the plow or minimizing soil disturbance\, planting cover crops\, and growing diverse crop rotations—offers a profitable way to rebuild the fertility of the soil and thereby reduce dependence on fossil fuels and agrochemicals. Combining ancient wisdom with modern science\, these regenerative practices are good for farmers and the environment\, translating into farms that use less water\, generate less pollution\, lower carbon emissions—and stash carbon underground. It can also produce more nutrient-dense food to better support human health—what’s good for the land is good for us too. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				David R. Montgomery is a MacArthur Fellow and professor of geomorphology at the University of Washington. He studies landscape evolution and the effects of geological processes on ecological systems and human societies. An author of award-winning popular-science books\, he has been featured in documentary films\, network and cable news\, and on a wide variety of TV and radio programs. His books have been translated into ten languages.  He lives in Seattle with his wife\, and co-author\, Anne Biklé.  Their new book What Your Food Ate: How to Health Our Land and Reclaim Our Health will be published spring 2022.  Connect with them at www.dig2grow.com or follow him on Twitter (@dig2grow).

SUMMARY:November 2021 Online Forum: Beyond Net Zero\, Restorative Buildings: the PAE Story
DESCRIPTION:What if a building was not just sustainable but restorative\, a building that put back more than it takes? \nThat is the goal of the Living Building Challenge\, a concept introduced on 2009\, where its end goal “is to encourage the creation of a regenerative built environment. The challenge is an attempt to raise the bar for building standards from doing less harm to contributing positively to the environment.” \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				When: Wednesday\, November 17\, 2021Time:  6:30 pm to 8:00 pmWhere:  online via Zoom – registration required!Speakers: PAE president Paul Schwer will be joined by PAE associate Karina Hershberg to tell the story of how their building was able to reach this goal while simultaneously providing a return for their investors. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				This is an approach that goes way beyond the LEED rating system focusing not only on net zero energy but also net zero water and waste. \nOne of the leaders in implementing this concept is Portland based PAE Consulting Engineers. They have eleven projects designed to meet this rigorous framework. The latest is their new headquarters here in Portland\, a five story building which is set to be the world’s first developer-driven Living Building.
