Evanston’s Community Solar Program, a cheaper alternative to other available renewable energy sources, has been open for resident subscriptions since May 2021.
The program aligns with the goals of the city’s Climate Action Plan, according to Ald. Jonathan Nieuwsma (4th).
The Evanston Climate Action Plan was established in 2008 with the goal of a 13-percent carbon emission reduction by 2012. The second version of the plan, the Livability Plan, passed in 2014 and raised the bar to a 20-percent carbon emission reduction by 2016. The most recent version of the plan, created in 2018, is the Climate Action Resilience Plan, which aims to reach zero carbon emissions in Evanston by 2050.
Evanston residents attend Fourth of July celebration virtually
The Evanston Fourth of July Association’s virtual activities allowed members of the community to celebrate Independence Day from the comfort of their own homes this year.
This year’s virtual ceremonial video included the parade and a behind-the-scenes look into preparing for the celebration, according to Kathleen Schmidt, the secretary of the Evanston Fourth of July Association’s board of trustees.
Schmidt said the board has received emails from Evanston residents thanking them for making the festivities virtual rather than cancelling the event altogether.
“We have gotten emails from people saying you know we understand why you didn’t do it this year, thank you for giving us a virtual parade,” Schmidt said.
