Kent Dems E.A.T. August Meeting

Kent Dems Environmental Action Team

Join EAT on Tuesday, Aug 12 to engage with fellow environmentalists in our journey to advocate for our environment.

We will get updates on the City’s proposed Climate Action and Adaptation plan, GVSU’s initiative to bring solar to the Grand Rapids Southeast Community (49507), ongoing projects being led by local, state, and national environmental organizations, and the work being planned and accomplished by EAT’s four working groups:

Energy Systems
– Increase high impact projects in the community
– Promote programs that make renewable energy and energy efficiency financially viable

Waste Reduction
– To reduce organic waste from entering area landfills and the incinerator
– Reduce the prevalence of non-recyclable, single use materials in our waste stream

Environmental Conservation
– Improve community planning and development practices to protect natural areas and water
– Support environmental education programs

Organizational Operations
– To build a strong caucus that engages residents, government, and organizations to make a positive impact on local environmental policy
– Create a strong identity where members know what’s going on and how they can participate

Please note: this will be a hybrid in-person/virtual event.
