SUMMARY:Montgomery County Energy Summit 2024
DESCRIPTION:Montgomery County Energy Summit 2024\nApril 15-16\nSilver Spring Civic Building at Veterans Plaza\, Silver Spring\, MD 20910\nNow in its 11th year\, the annual Montgomery County Energy Summit has offered cutting-edge education focused on the latest trends in green building\, energy efficiency\, renewable energy\, and related commercial\, multifamily\, and residential topics in Montgomery County. \n \nOur target audience includes building owners\, property managers\, developers\, energy contractors\, and other sustainability professionals working in Montgomery County and the larger DMV area. This event typically attracts 300+ attendees\, speakers\, and exhibitors. \nMontgomery County DEP would like to thank the US Green Building Council National Capital Region for their years of partnership in making this event a success. \nThe 2024 Energy Summit will take place at the metro-accessible Silver Spring Civic Building in downtown Silver Spring\, MD. \nMontgomery County continues to adopt policies and programs that move the building sector to an energy efficient\, low-carbon future in line with the County’s climate action goals. Such policies require additional buildings and types to benchmark and report energy use data each year\, set a framework for building energy performance standards that require most existing buildings to become more energy efficient over time\, require all-electric new construction\, and continue to adopt progressive building codes. \nThis year’s Summit will focus on preparing the commercial building community for compliance with energy benchmarking\, building energy performance standards\, and emerging building codes. We will explore requirements and opportunities in these areas and provide hands-on learning opportunities as well as case studies from commercial and multifamily buildings. The Summit will provide education sessions\, hands-on Q&A and support\, an “innovation alley” showcasing products and services\, and a networking reception. \nFor more information\, visit https://mcenergysummit.org/

SUMMARY:
DESCRIPTION:Data centers pose a greater threat to our climate goals than most of our lawmakers realize! \nFor the first time in this year’s MD General Assembly\, lawmakers are considering legislation about data centers. The Critical Infrastructure Streamlining Act of 2024 (SB0474 / HB0579) would disappointingly allow data centers an exception to use diesel generators. On March 7\, the MD Senate Education\, Energy\, and the Environment Committee advanced this bill out of committee. SB474/ HB579 goes against Maryland’s climate goals of becoming carbon neutral by 2045. You can read our testimony in our MGA24 blog. \nJoin us on March 27th at 7pm on Zoom for a FREE Conservation Café about the environmental impact of DATA CENTERS. \nRegister for the Mar 27 Conservation Café \n

She will explain the state of the science on climate change and plastics today — what we know and what we don’t know — and discuss what we can do to fill in the gaps as well as move forward on policy and activism. \nHolly is the founder and President of Environment & Enterprise Strategies where she advises such organizations as the Union of Concerned Scientists\, the National Science Foundation\, and the White House Council on Environmental Quality. She served in the Clinton administration as a negotiator on the UN climate treaties. She is also the co-founder and co-director of The Plastics & Climate Project. \n\nSee you soon! —The BPVG Steering Committee (Ashley\, David\, Eileen\, Eve\, Rebekah) \n\nMissed our February meeting\, “Tackling Petrochemical Pollution” with Jane Patton? Find the recording at bit.ly/bpvg-video along with all of our talks over the last two years! \n\nOur Mission: We educate\, connect and inspire our community of volunteers to combat single-use plastics and the plastic pollution crisis.

SUMMARY:Earth Day Live: Planet vs Microfibers – Fashion's Gigantic Little Problem
DESCRIPTION:Planet vs Microfibers – Fashion’s Little Problem\nWednesday\, February 28 • 12 noon EST  •  LIVESTREAM\nAlthough microscopic as their name suggests\, the shedding of tiny microfibers from our clothing is the most insidious way the fashion industry harms our world. \nInvisible microfibers fill our oceans\, our air\, and our soil. They are ubiquitous – found in aquatic life at the bottom of the Marianna Trench\, and in the snow on top of Mt. Everest. They are also in our bodies\, our hearts\, our intestines\, our lungs\, and the plastic that makes polyester has been found in human bloodstreams. In the oceans\, 35% of all microplastics are from our clothes.1 How did they get there\, what does the government know about the problem\, and how do we tackle it?    \nOn Wednesday\, February 28th at 12:00pm Eastern\, EARTHDAY.ORG will collaborate with the United Nations Fashion and Lifestyle Network and the Fashion Impact Fund for Planet vs. Microfibers: Fashion’s Gigantic Little Problem. \nJoin us as we look at the remarkable work of scientists who have traced the pervasiveness of microfibers to the farthest edges of the globe\, who are guiding governments in confronting this environmental crisis and who\, through invention\, are designing a new path for the sake of the planet. \nRSVP now for the live event.\n\nEarth Day Live: Debating Planet Earth’s Urgent Issues

SUMMARY:Support electrification  support new STRIDE law!
DESCRIPTION:Support electrification ⚡ support new STRIDE law!\nUtilities make us pay for pipes we don’t need! Join us on Thursday\, Feb 22 at 7:30PM to learn about the harmful spending of our money by gas utilities and how we can work together to end it!\nUtilities use the STRIDE law to continually replace methane (natural) gas pipes. However\, this covers all pipes\, is not focused on safety issues\, and we pay for this through our utility bills. Perfectly safe pipes are being replaced\, increasing our rates\, and ultimately costing us tens of billions of dollars over the next several decades. This is despite the gas company acknowledging that gas use may decline by up to 80% due to electrification. Let’s work together to reign in the utilities! \nThe new STRIDE bill\, submitted to the Maryland legislature\, limits utilities to replacement projects that address aging pipes most at risk for failure. It will reduce customer rates by requiring them to use less costly alternatives than replacement where appropriate. And it aligns long-term gas infrastructure plans with the State climate policy to have net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040. \nThe Maryland Office of People’s Counsel has been working\, on our behalf\, to turn this bill into law this year. David Lapp\, head of the OPC\, will be joining us to explain the details of STRIDE and how this bill will save us money and reduce the climate impact of our methane gas infrastructure. We will then work together to write emails to our legislature. Let’s tell them how important this bill is to their constituents! Join us to make sure our voices are heard. \nFor questions\, contact us at: montgomerycountyTCM@gmail.com \nPlease share this email with anyone who might be interested! \nREGISTER ON ZOOM

SUMMARY:How You Can Help a Nonprofit Go Solar
DESCRIPTION:How You Can Help a Nonprofit Go Solar\n\n\n\n\nWebinar: Thursday\, Feb 15\, 2024 07:00 PM\n\n\n\nNonprofit organizations do so much for our communities. They shelter abandoned animals\, help our kids learn through engaging activities\, and provide relief when disaster strikes.\n\nIf there’s a nonprofit you care about\, help them go solar! You’re invited to an exclusive online event to learn how.\n\nNow is the ideal time to switch to solar energy = technology has significantly improved the effectiveness and lowered the cost of solar panels\, making solar more accessible to a wider range of consumers.
