Corvallis Sustainability Coalition (CSC) April News
The CSC Town Hall Meeting was a huge success:
600 people met and shared visions and strategies about a sustainable Corvallis. If you missed the meeting but would like to join a work group to meet several times between now and the next Town Hall on June 25, e-mail me asap – dee@footwise.com">dee@footwise.com. These work groups will be the substance of our action plan (and that's what this is all about!)
The Corvallis Energy Challenge is a year-long campaign to help Corvallis residents and businesses boost energy efficiency, control energy costs and build a cleaner future with renewable energy. The Corvallis Sustainability Coalition has teamed up with Energy Trust of Oregon to present the Challenge. Discover simple energy-saving opportunities, find out if a solar project might work for your location and learn how to earn cash incentives
