We have over $1800 left in our Clean Energy/Climate Change grant. This
money is to be used to communicate information on these topics to the
public. So far we have have bought a banner and we need to determine how to
use the rest of the money.
One option is to replace our aging laptop with a new laptop and possibly a
projector that we can use for giving presentations and sharing videos.
The cost of a laptop or MacBook will be anywhere from $700 to $1200. A
projector can be bought for less than $500.
Presentations can be given to the community at large, master gardeners,
schools, as part of birding 101 class, Native Plant Society, faith based
organizations, Garden clubs, our monthly meetings. There are probably
presentations available through Audubon that we can use. We could customize
for audience and region - combine or put messages in other presentations,
I.e. native plants, attracting birds to your yard, birding101. There is a
great TedTalk 12 min video we could show. https://youtu.be/pN4L_hYKkH0
I’ve already contacted Ag Ext about letting us give a ‘birds & climate
change’ presentation at the native plants class the Master Gardeners might
be getting this year.
