Climate Change the topic at Monday's Democratic luncheon
The featured speaker at Monday's Democratic luncheon will be Chas Macquarie of the Citizens Climate Lobby. In honor of Earth Week, his presentation, entitled “Building Electrification,” will present information about how electrification of buildings and vehicles is impacting the climate. Also discussed will be how it is now possible to achieve significant savings on home energy costs thanks to rebates and tax credits for home energy improvements included in the Inflation Reduction Act. He will also speak briefly about the origins and evolution of Earth Day in more than 120 countries around the world since its inception in America on April 22, 1970.
Chas Macquarie retired in 2021 after more than two decades as Senior Project Manager and Chief Executive Officer at Lumos & Associates, a multidisciplinary consulting firm with expertise in civil engineering, geotechnical engineering, planning, landscape architecture, traffic, transportation, water resources, surveying, geographic information systems, materials testing and construction. Macquarie studied Civil Engineering at the Univeristy of Leeds, graduating in 1971.
Sponsored by the Democratic Men's Committee, this event is scheduled for 1:00 PM on Monday, April 17th, and may be attended in person at Black Bear Diner, inside Max Casino, or online via Zoom. Macquarie will take the floor after all the lunch orders have been taken, around 1:30. Those wishing to be on distribution for luncheon Zoom links should contact Rich Dunn at richdunn@aol.com.
