Tonight: Carbon Neutrality Achieved!

At 7 PM Eastern Time on Earth Day (Tuesday, April 22), there will be an online Zoom program about
Oberlin City and College Collaboration for Achieving Carbon Neutrality

Join us for the fascinating story of how their collaboration starting in 2000 was able to achieve Carbon Neutrality by 2025.  How did they do it?  With solar panels, geothermal, dashboard energy monitoring, educational modules, home energy upgrades, school and community activities, and intensive collaborative planning.  The speakers will be

John Petersen '88, Oberlin faculty and systems ecologist
Linda Arbogast, City of Oberlin Sustainability Coordinator
Gregory Jones, Energy Advocate for POWER (Providing Oberlin with Efficiency Responsibly)
Sami Singleton '25, OC senior and Environmental Studies Major with a path in urban design
Josette Apple '25, OC senior and Environmental Studies Major specializing in communications & media
Chris Norman, Oberlin faculty and Senior Director for Energy and Sustainability.

And the moderator will be Walt Galloway '69, the current Chair of the Oberlin College EnviroAlums.  The organizers include Paul Safyan ’68, Dave Tempest ’72, and Susan Buck ’72.  After brief introductions, the speakers will open the program for interactive questions.

This program is part of the “Road to the Future” series sponsored by the Oberlin Alumni Classes ‘67 to ‘72. Click here for detailed biographies of the participants, or click here for links to additional background resources on Oberlin environmental sustainability.
