Our Climate Moment
Did you know you can cut your energy use by weatherproofing, upgrading your insulation or appliances, and switching to electric utilities and appliances? And better yet – did you know that there are federal and state incentives that provide generous rebates and/or tax savings to help offset the cost of making these improvements? It is good news that we want to spread to our members, friends, family and acquaintances to help everyone fight climate change AND save money!
The Western NY Chapter of the Climate Reality Project (CRP) is kicking off a major campaign called “Our Climate Moment” designed to share this good news and accelerate the transition to an exciting, low-carbon future. And we need YOUR HELP! The most effective way for people to learn about these savings is from someone they already have a connection with – a friend or neighbor, a colleague, a fellow congregation member, or someone they know from some other shared activity. Each of us has a different circle of influence; we are all critical influencers in this climate moment.We invite YOU to join us in this campaign.
-
We are inviting YOU to become a Climate Moment Ambassador, who commits to sharing accurate and easily understandable information on energy savings and incentive programs with at least THREE groups within your circle of influence. These can be people you know well or people with whom you have a common interest – your choice! Click the link at left to join the effort.
-
Climate Reality Project Western NY will provide you with all the information you need. We will contact you with presentation packages and informational handouts already prepared. We’ll familiarize you with the materials and answer any questions you may have. You can also watch examples of how others have shared the information or accompany another CRP member to see how it is done.
-
You reach out to your desired groups and set up a learning event. It can be big or small, and scheduled as is convenient for you and your audience. The audience is friendly because you already have a connection with them.
-
At the appointed day/time, you share the information with your chosen audience in the format you’re most comfortable with.
-
After the event, complete a quick form sharing the details about the event. If you need help answering any lingering questions from the training, your contact is there to help you!
We know that our members care about climate change and want to take action. This is your opportunity to get involved and make a difference! Our goal is to recruit at least 30 “Our Climate Moment” ambassadors and share this exciting, energy- and cost-saving information with our friends in WNY. Please join us in this exciting – and important – effort!
