Ever wonder if there could be better ways to use energy more wisely? As part of Larimer County’s Climate Smart Future Ready Plan,  we need your input to help us focus on energy solutions that benefit everyone in our community.

How do we address the challenges of energy use, air quality, extreme weather and natural disasters? That’s where you come in. You can help by participating in an in-person 1.5-hour community session, offered in three locations, in English and Spanish, to gather ideas about how to reduce our energy costs. Two online sessions will also be offered.

Register in advance for all sessions at www.surveymonkey.com/r/Larimer.

The in-person sessions will be hosted with refreshments, English and Spanish translation, activities for kids to make this a family event, and $15 travel stipends for those who need assistance. To encourage participation, a limited number of $25 participation incentives for both in-person and online sessions are available, too.
