Time banking and Solar Energy

Hi Holden Heights Team,

Although we don't have a Solar Energy Work Group yet, I am looking for solutions that build community, work with faith leadership, and reduce costs. I am looking into time banking, and have invited a speaker from Florida SUN to the Florida Interfaith Climate Actions Network Assembly on March 13th and 14th.

There are legislative obstacles in Florida that may prevent us from doing this, and that is one of the things I have asked the Florida SUN speaker to fill us in on.

It is important that all 4 of our communities participating in the American Cities Climate Chalenge have been engaged in assessing the vulnerabilities of their communities, and the opinions of residents.

The Northern Manhattan Climate Action Plan is described here: https://www.weact.org/campaigns/nmca/

Audubon Society Model Ordinances ToolKit

The Audubon Society has created a model Local Ordinance ToolKit for climate change solutions. Please familiarize yourself with some of the language and the framing of these issues.
