Weather patterns are changing throughout the world. From devastating forest fires out west and earthquakes in Turkey, to “generational storms” in Buffalo, it is apparent that we have disrupted the natural balance of the planet. Now, we’ve got to figure out how to take better care of our natural resources, before the situation gets any worse.
Locally, Erie County has been developing a Climate Action Plan, which will help to guide us towards living more responsible lives. Whether you’re a concerned member of the community, or believe that your business could make better environmental decisions, there is an event on the near horizon that you should consider attending.
Anyone interested in learning more about the development of the Erie County Community Climate Action Plan (CCAP) is invited to attend the upcoming Erie County Climate Action Showcase on Saturday, March 18.
The event will featured representatives from the County Community Climate Change Task Force (C3TF), including regional organizations such as the WNY Sustainable Business Roundtable, UB, Daemen College, PUSH Buffalo, Waterkeeper, GObike, NYSERDA, National Grid, City of Buffalo, various towns, the Environmental Management Council, and individual volunteers. There will also be numerous local businesses in attendance that are committed to creating a more sustainable WNY economy. Experts from Erie County Department of Environment and Planning will also be on-hand at the event.
The County Community Climate Change Task Force is made up of volunteers across the region.
The event is free to attend, and there will be activities for all age groups. This is a chance for those who care about the environment to give their input regarding a broad range of topics.
