2024 Meeting Minutes and Community Announcements

CVILLE100 CLIMATE ALLIANCE MONTHLY MEETING

6:30 p.m. Tuesday March 19, 2024 via Zoom

Gabe Dayley, Albemarle County’s Climate Program Protection Manager, will provide a brief update on the state of county climate action program. Gabe also will field questions from attendees.

In addition, Christine Putnam will discuss dark skies. Light pollution is causing our nights to become almost 10% brighter every year. The disappearing darkness affects the health of all living things. Learn more about the impact of light pollution and the things we can do to address it.

The meeting will include a discussion of the status of Charlottesville Area Transit bus fleet electrification. (Much has happened in this arena in the past month.)

As is our custom, representatives of affiliated organizations will report on their recent activities and current climate action issues.

This chock-full-of-interesting-things-meeting is open to the public. We hope you will attend and join in discussions!
