SUMMARY:RainScape Your Yard: Sessions 1 – Evaluating Stormwater Solutions for Home Landscapes
DESCRIPTION:A RainScape is a landscape or design technique that helps reduce stormwater runoff from individual properties\, including rain gardens\, conservation landscapes\, green roofs\, and permeable pavements. The Montgomery County Department of Environmental Protection offers a rebate program for approved RainScape projects for homeowners. To be eligible for a rebate\, participants must apply and be approved for installation based on a submitted plan before projects are installed. \nIn this online (Zoom) class\, learn how environmentally friendly landscapes\, such as conservation sites and rain gardens\, can help manage stormwater issues on residential properties. We will review steps to planning a RainScape including site evaluation and determining the type and scale of project that best suits your needs. The class is open to anyone\, regardless of applying for a RainScape rebate.

SUMMARY:Energy Futures 2024: Energy Justice for Indigenous Communities & Communities of Color
DESCRIPTION:Join Groundswell and leaders from the climate space as we look at how leaders in the climate space address the disproportionate impact of climate change on communities of color. This panel will share insight into proven solutions already making a positive difference for communities of color. \nEnergy justice has received more attention in recent years and is at the core of the Justice40 Initiative. Justice40 aims to bring 40 percent of the overall benefits of recent Federal climate\, clean energy\, affordable and sustainable housing\, and other investments to disadvantaged communities. Energy justice\, by definition\, promotes equity\, affordability\, and accessibility for individuals and communities regardless of race\, nationality\, income\, or geographic location. \nDuring this webinar\, attendees will hear about the strategies being used to overcome energy challenges that disproportionately impact communities of color from leaders who have seen different solutions put to the test\, including Dianne Dillon-Ridgley (Changemaker and Activist)\, Ryman LeBeau (Oceti Sakowin Power Authority Board Member) and Tiffani Lawson (Resiliency Program Manager at Groundswell). \nThis webinar is part of Groundswell’s ongoing Energy Futures series\, where we host conversations about how communities and organizations can work together to build equitable clean energy futures that align with the needs of individual communities. \nWe hope you will join us for Energy Futures 2024: Energy Justice for Indigenous Communities & Communities of Color on Wednesday\, June 5\, 2024\, at noon ET.

SUMMARY:Webinar: EV Charging for Condos\, Co-ops\, and Townhomes
DESCRIPTION:Montgomery County’s CCOC (Commission on Common Ownership Communities) along with DEP (Department of Environmental Protection) and Montgomery County GreenBank to hold a seminar on Electric Vehicle Charging stations so you can charge at home. \nMontgomery County residents and businesses own an estimated 10\,900 electric vehicles and 5\,600 plug-in hybrids. Nearly 40 percent of all electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles in Maryland are located within Montgomery County. The Maryland Department of the Environment’s Zero Emission Vehicles Program has set a goal of having 60\,000 zero-emission vehicles in the State by 2020 and 300\,000 by 2025. \nElectric vehicles are coming to Montgomery County\, and it’s no surprise why: EVs save money\, reduce emissions\, and are fun to drive. \nCharging at home is one of the biggest benefits of driving electric\, making it an important asset for condos\, co-ops\, and townhomes with shared parking. Multiple communities across the county have installed charging or begun exploring the process. \n“As Montgomery County strives to achieve zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2035\, providing safe ways to charge while parked on public streets should make it easier for residents to own and operate the electric vehicles that will play an important role in helping us reach that goal\,” said Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich. \nJoin our round table discussion and presentation to learn what you need to install charging in your community: \n\nWhat are the benefits of EV charging?\nHow many chargers should we install?\nHow can we manage shared parking?\nHow much does it cost and what incentives and financing are available?\nWhat should we expect from permitting and construction?\n\nThe dates of the seminar will be September 6th from 6 pm to 8 pm or September 11th from 10 am to 12 noon. To register for this zoom event\, please follow this link to register.\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_b94Q49rOQ5m0YWOyqwnEIw \nThen click the “DROP DOWN” at date\, to choose the date you wish to attend\, seating is limited.
