Many times, when we hear about the climate crisis, large-scale solutions like community solar, fossil fuel divestment, and state policies are highlighted. These are all crucial. And the everyday actions taken by millions of Californians also need to be highlighted, supported, and celebrated. Come to this virtual forum and share your everyday efforts with us!
This event will offer resources for climate action, including information on So Cal Edison's rebate of up to $4,000 on pre-owned purchased or leased used EVs and plug-in hybrids.
