We wanted to share access to all the helpful info from our most recent meeting, 8/11/14. Our presenters, Terry Moore and Murray Jones, from Austin Energy's energy efficiency programs, shared very positive news for houses of worship, small businesses, and local nonprofit organizations, re: saving money and getting greener. We were also fortunate to have some excellent contributions from our volunteers regarding candidate positions on climate change, in the upcoming City Council elections. We invite you to "click" below to view our resources.
