Montclair Climate Action

On Tuesday, Jan. 31, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m., a public forum called “Living Green: Home Weatherproofing 101” will be held at the main branch of the library.

"Butterflies, salamanders, toads, turtles, earthworms and chipmunks are just a few of the many creatures that appreciate a bed of fallen leaves," Hannah Gersen writes.

Seven events planned in the coming weeks to answer questions about the projects.

David Korfhage says the Sustainable Energy Alliance has been a good start, but Montclair can do more.

“We want to take action because we care about leaving a livable world for all future generations,” founder of Montclair Climate Action David Korfhage said.

As part of a global day of action, the rally will call on leaders at the COP26 climate conference in Scotland to take serious action on the climate crisis.  

Community Solar is a new state program that allows individuals to support local renewable energy while also saving money on electricity.

Participants will get updates about ongoing campaigns and discuss other actions.

They say measures in Biden's infrastructure plan are important — but not nearly enough.

Writer David Korfhage says there are specific steps we should take as individuals, and Montclair should take as a township.
