October 20, 7–8 pm
We can go solar in the city—even if we rent our homes or don’t have much cash to invest. Learn about community solar for renters, affordable solar for low- and middle-income homeowners, and how battery storage can brighten our solar energy future. This event is a collaboration with Solar One, which is part of the Barrio Solar campaign to bring affordable solar power to working families in Brooklyn. Solar One’s Michelle Chung and Bruno Estrada will explain how it all works.

This special two-hour workshop will offer tools for nurturing our spirits as we acknowledge and confront climate anxiety. We’ll follow practices from Joanna Macy and Chris Johnstone’s Active Hope: How to Face the Mess We’re in Without Going Crazy: telling stories, exploring new sources of personal and collective power, and sharing ideas for turning hope into action. Tom Roderick and Marieke van Woerkom, experts in social and emotional learning, will lead this participatory workshop.

What must change so we can quickly bring solar energy and battery storage to our neighborhoods? New York City has ambitious renewable energy goals, but city and state regulations stand in the way. Our speakers will explain these obstacles and how we can all get involved in removing them. Panelists include NY Assemblymember Robert Carroll, who has introduced legislation to untangle solar red tape, Solar One’s Angelica Ramdhari, and Claudia Villar-Leeman of the Mayor’s Office of Climate, Sustainability, and Resiliency. This event is a collaboration with Solar One.

December 1, 7–8 pm
Take a virtual tour of the new solar energy hub at Brooklyn Public Library’s Coney Island branch—one of four branches where Brooklynites will be able to plug in devices when extreme weather knocks out the electric grid. These four hubs are the first solar + battery systems in the entire city. All of these branches were hit hard by Superstorm Sandy in 2012. Panelists will be Solar One’s Angelica Ramdhari and BPL’s Dillon Buchberg. This event is a collaboration with Solar One, which is installing the solar hubs.
