Monday at 7

Sierra Club will host: An evening with Larry Falkin, former Director of the City’s Office of Environment & Sustainability. Cincinnati’s goal is to become carbon neutral by 2050 or sooner, but what will it take to get there? Solar & Wind? Electric Vehicles? LED lights and electric heat pumps? All these will be necessary, but not sufficient. Fortunately, there are some exciting, mature, deployable energy solutions that don’t get much attention and could be a big part of Cincinnati’s future. Have you ever heard about Pumped Storage Hydroelectric? Carbon Dioxide Batteries? Hydrogen Energy Storage? Small Modular Nuclear Generators? Let’s imagine a positive future for Cincinnati and get to work building it! Held at the Mt. Auburn Presbyterian Church: arrive at 6:30 for snacks and a meet and greet or register here for the Zoom link.

Race and Racism in Cincinnati, a 3-part docuseries, is a telling of our history from the racial margins, the history that is not often told in school curriculums or in mainstream white culture. This video series, which begins on Wednesday, April 5th and continues on the 12th and 19th from 5:30 to 7:30, places storytelling authority in the hands of common people rather than political leaders or figures of power.
