April Change for Good: Ashland Climate Collaborative
We're thrilled to have the Ashland Climate Collaborative (ACC) as our Change for Good Partner for April. ACC brings Ashlanders together to reduce our impact on the climate and adapt safely and responsibly to our changing climate.
ACC project Teams focus on local strategies that can have the biggest impact!
- ACC’s Electrify Ashland Now Team helps residents slash their home energy footprint by switching to cleaner energy sources. It takes planning, but many Ashlanders are doing it! Learn how at ACC’s Meet Up session, April 22 at 6pm at the Co-op Community Classroom.
- ACC’s Streets for Everyone Team promotes safer intersections, protected and connected bike lanes, and extensions to Ashland’s central bike path, so more of us feel safe getting around town by biking, walking, and rolling.
- ACC’s Compost Action Team is developing a community-wide composting program so everyone can compost easily and affordably.
- ACC’s Water Team provides tips on water conservation and updates on our water supply to help us cope with drought.
- ACC’s Neighborhood Climate Action Networks bring neighbors together to share ideas and innovations, and support each other to respond to climate change.
ACC always welcomes new volunteers! And, each time you shop at the Ashland Food Co-op in April, you have the opportunity to support the work of ACC by rounding up at the cash register. It may seem like small change, but it adds up to a big difference!
