About this Event
Get ready to embark on a 5-week journey, diving into the heart of Athens-Clarke's visionary Clean & Renewable Energy Plan! Each week, we'll explore this plan, which aims to achieve 100% clean and renewable electricity for all municipal properties, government operations, and community-wide buildings by 2035, and to power our community's electricity needs with 100% clean and renewable sources by 2050.
This study group isn't just about learning; it's about making a difference! Every week, we'll read and discuss key sections of the plan, sparking discussions and brainstorming innovative ways that we, as citizens, can actively support, advocate, and contribute to reaching these ambitious yet crucial goals.
