Eliminating Fossil Fuel Use at Home and in our Cities

SoSA hosts its first Climate Action event with a presentation by Hallie Bowie, award-winning architect and LEED Green Associate. She will share the story of removing the gas meter on her own 1961 house and how you can begin moving your own house away from fossil fuels. See the induction cooktop, air source heat pump heating system, heat pump water heater, electrical upgrades, insulation, vehicle charging station, and solar panels that improve comfort and air quality while eliminating the need for gas. Information will be provided on how the Inflation Reduction Act can provide you with tax credits or rebates that make this transition an even better value! We'll discuss how these same technologies can educe greenhouse gas emissions when applied at the commercial and community scales. You will leave ready to create your own plan for moving your house away from fossil fuels!

We will start with a brief presentation on the systems, followed by a tour of the house, and then questions and discussion. If you can't be here by 1:30, please feel free to join us when you can.

A similar event will be held at 6:30pm this same day for those not able to attend in the afternoon. All are welcome at either time. Invite your friends!
