Earth Day Exploration of the Climate Leadership & Community Protection Act

JAMESTOWN, NEW YORK (April 1, 2021) -- Cornell Cooperative Extension is excited to announce a new partnership and workshop series with PUSH GREEN, the WNY Virtual Energy Tour.

How does the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act affect you, how does the work of PUSH GREEN support CLCPA, and how can you get involved? This year CCE is collaborating on a virtual tour across upstate New York, with workshops on energy efficiency opportunities and vital information for every step of your going green journey. All workshops will be held on Zoom, on the fourth Thursday of the month from 6 to 7pm.

Join us this month, on April 22, 6 to 7pm via zoom to Take a Deep Dive into An Energy Audit. This is an opportunity to learn more about energy audits in your home or business, including what to expect, what does an audit cover and why are they so important?

PUSH Green is a non-profit community-based energy efficiency program, part of a statewide effort to make your home or small business more comfortable, reduce energy usage, address climate change, and create local jobs. Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE) connects communities with research from Cornell University's College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS) and the College of Human Ecology to enrich and empower New York state neighbors, local businesses, towns, and cities.
