Are you thinking about an EV? Do you have a new or older EV you are proud to show? Then join EnergizeActon.org and the Town of Acton Sustainability Office for the 3rd Annual EV Petting Zoo. See many amazing electric vehicles, including Town of Acton EVs. Bring your questions and talk with the owners. We will also have info on rebates, charging, and the used EV market.  More information at https://community.massenergize.org/ActonMA/events/2006. (Sorry, no live animals.)

We all share one activity that can have a significant impact on climate change—the food we eat! Eating more plant-based meals is an immediate and DELICIOUS way to put less CO2 into the atmosphere.   This is a community potluck picnic, so please bring a dish based on veggies, fruits, grains, beans, or nuts. We are also marking 5 years since passage of the Climate Emergency Declaration. Join us for great food, community spirit, and the commitment to a healthy, resilient future. Sponsored by EnergizeActon.org and the Town of Acton Sustainability Office. Info and registration at https://community.massenergize.org/ActonMA/events/1998.
