Come join the EPA Alumni Association’s Academy for several fun and energizing discussions this year.
On Tuesday, January 16th from 3-4 pm Eastern join for a discussion on ending combustion in transportation.
Transportation is the largest source of both greenhouse gas emissions and emissions that cause smog and soot pollution. One proposed solution is to electrify our cars and trucks. At the next Academy session, the discussion will dive into the recent efforts to electrify our transportation system, the cutting-edge work happening in California, and the barriers that still need to be addressed. Panelists for the discussion include Paul Cort of Earthjustice (a fellow EPA Alum) and Sydney Vergis of the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and they will also discuss the partnerships that are helping craft this approach!
On Wednesday, January 31st at 4 pm Eastern join Dr. Dave Mooney for addressing climate change with advances in renewable resources.
Dr. Dave Mooney of DOE’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) will for the second Academy session of 2024. NREL’s 3000+ professionals are engaged in cutting edge research in such areas as biofuels, photovoltaics, and wind energy. Dr. Mooney will fill us in on how they prioritize their research and their current hot issues.
On Thursday, February 29th at 4 pm Eastern, join the Academy for a panel discussion on EPA alumni partnering with citizen leaders to protect their communities.
The Environmental Protection Network has been connecting EPA Alumni with disadvantaged communities who have requested assistance. The panel will include the EPA Alumni and a member of the community who are working together on the two projects. The projects include the Tar Creek Superfund site and a rural water project in Washington State.
