Lots of climate action is coming up this month<\/strong> and we know you\u2019ll want to hear about it.<\/p>\n Our 350 Humboldt General Meeting<\/strong> is scheduled for Thursday, June 20 at 6 PM at El Chipotle, 850 Crescent Way in Arcata <\/strong>(next to A to Z Eye Care). Our featured speaker will be longtime activist Larry Goldberg who will tell us how 350 California is organizing at the statewide level to reverse climate change. We\u2019ll consider how our chapter can build on our individual voices <\/strong>to speak for a stable climate. We hope you can make it!<\/p>\n You can also lend your voice<\/strong> on Humboldt County\u2019s plan to reduce climate change<\/strong> by joining a meeting on the Climate Action Plan, led by Civic Spark Climate Fellow Connor McGuigan. Meetings are scheduled on Wednesday, June 12, 6 PM at Azalea Hall in McKinleyville, and Tuesday, June 18, 6 PM at the Willow Creek Community Service District<\/strong>. The Arcata meeting, held in May, had 80 people in attendance!<\/p>\n Do you want to buy an electric car but feel unsure about the nuts and, uh, volts of this new technology? Redwood Coast Energy Authority presents a free workshop \u201cHow to Buy an Electric Vehicle\u201d<\/strong> on Thursday, June 13 <\/strong>at 6:30 PM at the Eureka Chamber of Commerce, 612 G St. in Eureka.

Here\u2019s a sample: plant-based meals in schools, more EVs on the roads, reducing single-use plastic, studying a state retail carbon tax, clean up diesel trucks, protect pre-Trump environmental standards. Sound interesting? Summer is slow in Sacramento but the action will heat up soon and in the meantime we can make sure elected officials know our concerns.
