Events

Please join us on Friday, December 4 for a presentation on two topics: energy democracy and food justice. New York State is currently revising its energy policy, and the stakes are high. Will our new policy prioritize corporate profits or sustainability and equity? Meanwhile, how can we build on recent progress in bringing food justice to Buffalo? PPG Co-Director Sam Magavern and a team of UB law students will present on a broad range of topics, including:

• Targeting clean energy money to disadvantage communities;
• Adopting a state carbon tax;
• Scaling up weatherization and residential solar programs;
• Bringing nutritious and local food to corner stores;
• Greening the city’s affordable housing policy

The forum will be Friday, December 4, from 10am to noon, in the first floor conference room at the Market Arcade building, 617 Main Street (between Tupper and Chippewa). Free and open to the public, but space is limited, so please reserve a seat by emailing Sam Magavern, sam@ppgbuffalo.org.
