Center for Energy Education

Today I have had the honor of attending the 7th Annual Solar Fest NC at the Center for Energy Education in Halifax, NC. This is an amazing testament to the power of self-determination to build a solar and clean energy economy in a rural southern town, ebenefitting the entire community by educating young children, providing internships for high school students, and training adults to enter careers in clean energy. I’m so grateful to be a small part of this as the first ever Executive Grant Writer at the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality with the amazing Office of Continuous Improvement, working to bring in federal dollars from Inflation Reduction Act, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, and CHIP thanks to the Biden-Harris administration

🌳💚 Trees are the Earth's lungs, breathing life into our world! They not only provide oxygen but also absorb harmful carbon dioxide, helping to combat climate change. Trees are vital habitats for wildlife, crucial for biodiversity, and essential for our mental and physical well-being. They cool our cities, support ecosystems, and even improve water quality. Every tree planted is a step towards a healthier, more sustainable planet. Let's cherish and protect these green giants for future generations! #TreeLove #Nature #C4EE #PlantATree
