It’s #EarthDay season and we’re out and about for the next week at events all over the city talking about recycling, clean energy, air quality and more. . . This is Jen Farrell, @slcgreen’s Education and Outreach Lead and the program director of our #masterrecycler program. Jen is an expert in all things recycling and we are lucky to have her! Psst... do you know which 6 things don’t belong in the blue bin? . . Thanks for having us @myriadgenetics and keep up the fantastic work on your sustainability efforts! . . . #reducereuserecycle #recyclingiscool♻️ #recycle #saltlakecity #loveyourmother🌎Here with @stonyfield at the Regional Athletic Center until 2:00 to celebrate the transition of several new fields at the @slcrac as well as Westpointe and Sunnyside parks to organic land management. This builds off @slcppl’s existing best management practices of integrated pest management at all parks. @stonyfield is donating $5,000 to the City and another $40,000 in consulting to help us ramp up and do more organic land transitions on more fields! . . Sign up for your own #PesticideFreeSLC yard sign and see our resource guide at www.slcgreen.com/pesticidefree. Link in profile.Did you know that installing just one LED lightbulb in place of an incandescent bulb can save you $12 per year and nearly 100 pounds of carbon? ⚡️ . Now imagine what a whole house full of LEDs could save...And a whole neighborhood! 🤗💥🌎 . These cost and pollution savings are why we're excited to launch a new energy efficiency outreach program with @slcmayor and @utahcleanenergy today called Empower SLC! . With a $200,000 investment, Salt Lake City is working to bring greater cost-savings and pollution reduction benefits to zip codes 84104 and 84116 through greater energy efficiency tools and actions. . The best part is the rich network of community partners who are collaborating on this effort! . . *The International Rescue Committee in Salt Lake City and their case workers are assisting newly resettled refugees with LED bulb swaps, as well as education on the energy efficiency actions you see on the checklist. . . *Salt Lake County Aging and Adult Services is working through the Meals on Wheels program to give homebound seniors receiving meals an option for free LED installations in their home. . . *Salt Lake City's Division of Youth and Family is working on energy efficiency programming, special events, and LED permanent light swaps at Sorenson Multicultural Center & Unity Fitness Center. . . *The Utah Community Action's HEAT program connects low-income residents with funding assistance to pay their heating bills during the coldest months of the year. As an #EmpowerSLC partner, those residents will also have the opportunity to exchange up to 15 light bulbs during their HEAT appointment. . . *Residents visiting the food pantry at the Crossroads Urban Center will have the opportunity to exchange old lightbulbs for LEDs. . Thank you to our utility partners Rocky Mountain Power and Dominion Energy for helping assist with your many efficiency offerings! . This is all part of our #ClimatePositiveSLC work to reduce pollution and transition to a cleaner energy system that benefits all! .
