SUMMARY:Funeral For Future Strike at US Capitol
DESCRIPTION:Funeral For Future Strike at US Capitol\nFriday\, November 29\, 2019  •  12:30 PM\nLocation:   United States Capitol  •  1 First St SE\, Washington\, DC 20004\nHost Contact Info:  kallan@fridaysforfutureusa.org\nPlease join us on Friday participate in the Fridays for Future Global Day of Action and to demand action on the climate crisis. Wear black and bring a sign and your grief and outrage. \nWe’ll gather on the Southeast lawn of the Capitol to eulogize and mourn all that has been lost and all that is threatened by the climate crisis. All those with hopes and dreams who cherish the future are invited to gather in the shadow of the Halls of Congress. The ceremonial closed-casket funeral will conclude with a funeral procession through the streets of Washington\, DC. \n“Petroleum is a plague. It is the black death of our generation\,” said youth organizer and weekly striker Sophia Geiger\, 17. “We have the ability to control and cure it\, but we are not taking action. We are simply letting it destroy our world and threaten all life.”   \n“I strike every week because it is all I can do. I can’t even vote\, but I am already mourning my future. How can I plan for college\, a career\, or a family?” said Benson. \n“We’re bringing the loss of our future to the steps of the Capitol because they need to prepare to own this death\,” claims organizer Maddie Graham\, 17. “We need systemic change. Congress has been feeding our fossil fuel addiction. They know they are killing our future\, but they won’t take action to save it.” \nFor press inquires please contact sophia@fridaysforfutureusa.org \nVisit:  https://actionnetwork.org/events/fridays-for-future-strike-at-us-capitol-8

SUMMARY:Montgomery County Faith Alliance for Climate Solutions monthly meeting
DESCRIPTION:Montgomery County Faith Alliance for Climate Solutions \nmonthly meeting \nThursday\, October 17  •  7:30 – 9 pm \nRiver Road Unitarian Universalist Congregation\, 6301 River Road\, Bethesda\, MD \nMontgomery County is about to revise its building code for commercial buildings\, called the International Green Construction Code.  This code revision could have important benefits for energy use\, transportation\, water\, flora and fauna in the County.  Mark Nauman of the MC Dept of Permitting Services\, who has been drafting the building code revision\, will  speak and answer questions on Thursday Oct 17\, from 730-9pm at the River Road Unitarian Universalist Congregation\, 6301 River Road\, Bethesda. \nWe feel that the new code (see below) will help conservation and climate change \, and deserves wide support.  Please come to learn more. \nPlease come to the monthly meeting of MC-FACS\, the Montgomery County Faith Alliance for Climate Solutions.  We are people from local faith communities urging our county to fight climate change.  For more info contact walter.weiss@verizon.net \n  \nGeneral introduction to building codes for commercial buildings in Mont Co \nBuilding codes set the legal requirements which must be met for any new building or large addition in Montgomery County. Builders submit their designs to the MC Dept of Permitting Services before construction starts\, and then they are granted a building permit after review. Energy efficiency of a proposed building is calculated from a formula based on the submitted design. \nIn the US and Canada\, building codes of all types are drafted by the International Code Council. They revise building codes every three years\, and then send these drafts out to states\, cities\, and counties. Each local government is free to edit the building code to meet their local needs. Each local government then passes their edited building code into local law. \nMontgomery County adopted the International Green Building Code (IgCC) for new commercial buildings in 2017\, after five years of discussion. The version passed in Montgomery County was drafted by the International Code Council in 2012. (there was a version of the IgCC in 2015 which was skipped over). In 2018 the three year update of the IgCC was sent out to local governments to be edited locally and then adopted. The MC Dept of Permitting Services has been editing this draft\, and is scheduled to submit the document to the Mont Co Council for adoption in the Fall of 2019. The document will first go to the Transportation and Environment Committee (CM Hucker\, Reimer\, and Glass) where it will be reviewed and voted on. Then if passed\, it will go to the full MC Council for review and a vote. \nAs a note of clarification\, LEED certification is separate from the IgCC. Buildings are submitted for LEED certification to the US Green Buildings Council (a private organization) after they are fully built. This is entirely voluntary\, and LEED certification is used as a promotion tool. LEED certification is based on a checklist of building features\, with points given for each feature. Depending on the number of points\, a building is given either LEED Silver\, Gold\, or Platinum rating. \nAll commercial construction in Mont Co must meet the IgCC requirements before they get a building permit. Few new buildings in our county are submitted for LEED certification. \nMontgomery County has set very ambitious goals of reducing all greenhouse gases 80% by 2027 and 100% by 2035. To reach these goals\, we believe that by 2027 building permits for new commercial buildings should require them to be net zero energy users. This is often achieved by adding solar panels. Many cities are requiring new buildings to be net zero energy by 2026 to 2030. Since it often takes years for buildings to be constructed\, the building codes need to require net zero energy well before 2035.

SUMMARY:US Youth Climate Strike at the Capitol
DESCRIPTION:US Youth Climate Strike at the Capitol\nFriday\, September 20  •  10 am\n\nSeptember 20\, at 10 am\, there will be student led climate protests at the Capitol. At 8 am\, there will be send off rallies at Metro stations\, including Silver Spring.  For more information on local actions\, contact Takoma Park Mobilization Environmental Committee at environment@tpmobilization.org.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMISSION: \nWe\, the youth of America\, are striking because the science says we have just a few years to transform our energy system\, reduce our greenhouse gas emissions\, and prevent the worst effects of climate change. We are striking because our world leaders have yet to acknowledge\, prioritize\, or properly address our climate crisis. We are striking because marginalized communities across our nation —especially communities of color\, disabled communities\, and low- income communities—  are already disproportionately impacted by climate change. We are striking because if the social order is disrupted by our refusal to attend school\, then the system is forced to face the climate crisis and enact change. With our futures at stake\, we call for radical legislative action to combat climate change and its countless detrimental effects on the American people. We are striking for the Green New Deal\, for a fair and just transition to a 100% renewable economy\, and for ending the creation of additional fossil fuel infrastructure. Additionally\, we believe the climate crisis should be declared a national emergency because we are running out of time. \nFor more information\, https://www.youthclimatestrikeus.org/ \n\n
