I am excited to be working with a large group of Petaluma individuals and organizations on a new project, and we need your help.
People are becoming more and more aware that the climate crisis is not something that will happen in the future. JUST LOOK AT THAT ORANGE SUN! It is happening now, and there is not much time left before many of the irreversible environmental tipping points have been passed. We need to take swift action.
So what can we do? Right now, Petaluma is in the running for an innovative new challenge grant called the "Cool City Challenge," a community-based program that focuses on building up our social networks to help neighborhoods become more planet friendly, disaster resilient, and community-rich. This grant encourages residents to get involved by offering funding to those cities who can show they have ample community support to achieve major collective action. To do this, Petaluma needs to sign up 200 Cool Block Leaders by the end of the month. We know we can do this with your help!
Please join us for our 350 Petaluma Cool Block Information Session this Thursday, 8/19 at 6:30 PM on zoom to learn more about how to be part of this unique opportunity and become a Cool Block Leader. If you can't make this time, other organizations are also hosting sessions. Go to: aqus.com/cool to see the full list and RSVP for the zoom link!
The following Petaluma organizations have already committed to be part of this challenge and there will be many, many more:
City of Petaluma – Petaluma People Services Center PPSC – Community Organizations Active in Disaster (COAD) – Petaluma Family Resource Center – Zero Waste Sonoma – Mary Collins School at Cherry Valley – Boox Eco Packaging – Jupiter Foods – Lunchette – Out West Garage – WORK Petaluma – 350 Petaluma – Aqus Community Foundation – Daily Acts – G Street Action – ReLeaf Petaluma – Point Blue – Rebuilding Together – Live Oak Families for Climate Action – and many more coming....
This may be our greatest opportunity to help our community!
