SUMMARY:The C-Change Conversation on Climate Science
DESCRIPTION:Watch the replay of this program on YouTube.\n\nWhy is is that the hardest questions to answer about climate change can be the most basic ones\, like: \n\nHow do we know climate change is real and caused by humans?\nWhat is the scientific consensus?\nWhat are the dangers?\nIs there hope?\n\nIt isn’t just that there is so much information.  It’s also the challenge meeting your audience where they are.  “Climate Change and You” is a presentation that does just that.  It is an engaging and compelling program that uses visual data\, charts and photographs to provide an accessible overview of climate science and a clear-eyed assessment of the risks ahead. It focuses on the interplay of science\, economics and policy (including the benefits of moving to a low-carbon economy)\, rather than depicting climate change as an environmental or political issue.   \nC-Change Conversations\, a New Jersey-based nonprofit organization\, developed the 50-minute presentation in consultation with independent climate scientists and public policy specialists and has presented it to more than 7\,500 people nationwide. \nJoin Green Needham and the Friends of the Needham Public Library at 2:00 pm on Sunday February 7th for a Webinar presentation of “Climate Change and You” by Dallas Hetherington from C-Change conversations\, with questions and answers following the program. \nBetter yet\, bring along a friend you’ve wanted to introduce climate change to\, but didn’t know how! \nRegister for free here  at https://tiny.cc/needham-cchange/ . You will receive a link to the Zoom presentation two days before the program. \nMore information: Gay Ellen Dennett\, Program Specialist\, Needham Free Public Library\, at gdennett@minlib.net or 781-455-7559 x223.

SUMMARY:Medfield Program:  Possibility of a Zero Net Energy School
DESCRIPTION:source: wickedlocal.com \nOn Thursday\, Feb. 25\, at 7 p.m.\, the Dale Street Sustainability Subcommittee of the Dale Street School Building Committee and the Medfield Energy Committee will hold a community forum on the energy efficiency options for the new school.  \nHear from Arrowstreet\, the Dale Street School architect\, about the design considerations to be made over the next two months related to energy efficiency and net zero emissions. \nThis is an opportunity to learn about the environmental concepts and design considerations so that when the technical analysis\, first cost\, lifetime cost and savings data are available\, there is community understanding of the concepts. \nA net zero building uses only the energy that it can generate and being able to achieve that is a function of the building design.  Among the design considerations are fuel type\, envelope efficiency\, mechanical systems/heat pumps\, solar power and battery storage.  We will also discuss other areas of building performance/sustainability related to the building design. \nAs an added feature\, representatives from Eversource will be available to discuss how these concepts can apply to your home.  Learn how to work toward maximum energy efficiency and reduce your energy costs and reliance on fossil fuels. \nVisit www.town.medfield.net/agendacenter\, then click on “Dale Street School Building Committee” for the agenda and Zoom link.
