Key Programs

Program 1
Title:	Home Sector
Description:	The Home Energy Challenge is a fun, easy way to take control of your home’s emissions and lose some carbon “weight.” Host a Power Party with 5-10 of your friends and help each other take action. During the “season” (Sept-March or Feb-June) your team will choose from a variety of actions that fit your budget and lifestyle and have 4-6 months to complete actions. Then we celebrate at at a local brewery to share what we were able to accomplish together! It’s fun, informative, and practical. The best part? We can see how every choice we make adds to the progress we make together, as a community. Email andrea@cvilleclimate.org to schedule your party.
