AARP Alaska’s Juneau Community Action Team, the Juneau Sustainability Commission and several other Juneau groups have partnered to develop a five-part series on reducing our carbon footprint. The sessions meet via Zoom every other Wednesday from 6 to 7:30 p.m., beginning March 9.
Each session will be moderated by a local expert. Following a brief introductory presentation, a series of panelists will share practical information and tips on carbon footprint reduction in Juneau and beyond. The series will end with a look at the connection between climate change and mental health, with an eye toward building our emotional resiliency while we enact climate change solutions in our households and communities. Topics will include learning what a carbon footprint is and how it impacts communities; improving a home’s energy efficiency; green options for transportation; reducing the carbon footprint of food and waste.
The series is free and open to the public, but registration is required to receive the Zoom link. You can find registration links and more information at https://states.aarp.org/alaska/reducing-our-carbon-footprint.
