Carbon Footprints and Community in Juneau and Beyond

Learn about carbon footprints, how these affect our communities, and how community members are addressing the challenges through Juneau’s climate plans. In this upcoming five-part educational webinar series, AARP Alaska and the Juneau Commission on Sustainability will examine practical ways to reduce our carbon footprints while improving our communities for everyone. Topics in upcoming weeks include: Home Green Home: Reducing the Carbon Footprint of Buildings While Saving Money, Getting Around: Transportation as a Climate Solution, Grub and Garbage: Reducing the Carbon Footprint of Food and Waste, and Building Resiliency: Mental Health and Climate Change. These sessions will feature speakers with universal application while highlighting local solutions. Following a brief introductory presentation, a series of panelists will briefly share practical information and tips on carbon footprint reduction in Juneau and beyond. The series will end with a look at the connection between climate change and mental health, with an eye towards building our emotional resiliency while we enact climate change solutions in our households and communities. This bi-weekly series will be available via Zoom every other Wednesday from 6-7:30 PM.
