SUMMARY:Fuel Change Watch Party
DESCRIPTION:Here in Kansas City\, communities of color are also transportation hubs\, sliced up by highways and freight yards\, and overly congested. All those emissions are harming the health\, safety\, and livability of our neighborhoods. We’ll be raising our voices to advocate for clean transportation through music\, poetry\, and art to bring folks into the climate conversation who have normally been left behind. \nPoetry for Personal Power & Metropolitan Energy Center are excited to co-host a Green For All #FuelChange watch party\, right here in the Heartland. As part of a national effort organized by The Dream Corps\, we’re joining a movement to reverse climate change and improve the health of underserved communities in our area. \nClean air isn’t just an environmental issue – it’s an issue of happiness\, health\, and equity. Join us in fighting for the simple right to breathable air\, because it’s time for a #FuelChange. \nHere’s what you can expect on Tuesday: \n-The wonderful Serenity Speaks will be MCing the night and sharing her stories. \n-We’ll hear from Green For All Fellow and KC environmental justice czar Richard Mabion of the KCK NAACP on how clean transportation can provide a path forward for underserved neighborhoods. \n-We’ll screen the #FuelChange anthem\, starring artists from Oakland who are sharing their stories on how their communities have been impacted by not having access to clean air. \nJoin us in using the power of our voices to fight for breathable air\, livable neighborhoods\, and #FuelChange in communities across KC. More details TBA.

SUMMARY:MEC Open House
DESCRIPTION:As you all know\, 2018 was a big year for MEC! Among the many exciting (but\, in some ways\, bittersweet) changes included moving locations to a nonprofit co-working space. Although we are sad to say goodbye to a building that gave us so many memories\, we are proud to share a space with fellow nonprofits in the Kansas City community who are doing excellent work. Best of all\, this allows us to take our sustainability mission to a whole new level by sharing energy use with our friendly new neighbors and reducing our overall carbon footprint. \nWe’ll provide light snacks\, beer\, and wine. We are excited to get the new year started and show you all where we will be working on our Clean Transportation and Energy Efficiency projects!  The event is free\, but please RSVP through our Eventbrite page.  We can’t wait to see you all!

SUMMARY:Energy Solutions Hub:  Speed Greening
DESCRIPTION:In the energy efficiency equivalent of speed dating\, visit with your choice of energy solution vendors. How does it work? Choose several speed greening table hosts you want to meet. At each table of 6-8 people\, your table host may give a short pitch or jump into round-table introductions. You’ll have about 30 seconds to introduce yourself and your problem statement\, you’ll learn some things\, then move on to the next table. \nThere will be plenty of time for general networking and refreshments to wet your whistle. \nThe Energy Solutions Hub works with small to medium sized business owners\, manufacturers\, municipals\, and multi-family homes\, and our goal is to cut energy use in KC by 4 percent in the next 2 years. This would save over $40 million annually in consumer energy costs\, and offset the equivalent amount of CO2 to burning 37 million gallons of gasoline. \nCome meet the team behind the program and and your fellow community members. \nQuestions:  Sara@metroenergy.org
