Join us in an online program as we welcome Tom Coleman, Chair of the Chicago Climate Reality Project. Tom will discuss the key steps you and your family can take that will make the biggest impact on the environment and save you money.

Did you know we can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 72% simply by making environmentally friendly “kitchen table” decisions related to things like which car to buy, how to heat your home, and how to cool it? Tom will provide current and accurate information that will help you understand the costs and benefits of these decisions.

Also in the meeting there will be a brief overview of the Kane County Forest Preserve District referendum authorizing an increase to the limiting rate for preserve improvements. For more information, go to http://www.kaneforest.com/referendum
