NEXT WEEK - On Thursday, September 10th, from 6-7:30 pm at the Penny, we will learn how the Cities of Ann Arbor and Santa Barbara are leading their communities toward carbon neutrality through implementation of focused projects, plans, and programs.
Missy Stults, Director of Sustainability and Innovations for Ann Arbor and Alelia Parenteau, Director of Sustainability and Resilience for Santa Barbara, are focused on expanding access to affordable clean energy, improving low-cost and practical mobility options, and centering housing as a part of a climate solution.
Representing progressive, university-centered cities in smaller semi-rural regions, they will share lessons from advancing some of the country’s most ambitious clean energy and transportation initiatives that are directly relevant to the Central Coast context.
Discussion following the presentation will be facilitated by Chris Read, Sustainability Manager for the City of San Luis Obispo. Join us as we explore what’s possible when we put sustainability into practice.
Doors open at 5:45pm. Tickets include local w**e, b**r, and snacks.
