Join friends, neighbors and fellow citizens at 7pm, Tuesday, May 3rd at HRDC’s Community Café, 302 North 7th in Bozeman, when the Reverend John Soderberg and Russ Doty of MontanaCares (MTCares.org) present, “Planning for a Sustainable Energy Future.” Rev. Soderberg and Doty promote Initiative I-180 as providing a profitable energy plan for Montana’s energy future. The plan claims profitability in that it would provide a triple bottom line–good for today’s workers; good for their neighbors, clients and stakeholders; and good for future generations.
Rev. Soderberg is a retired clergy person, chaplain, and counselor. Russ Doty retired from the Western Area Office of the U.S. Postal Service and has since worked on such energy efforts as requiring LED street lighting to save more than 50 percent of the energy used to light Montana roads. Both climate advocates focus now on promoting the I-180 initiative and MTcares website to help reduce problems associated with global warming in Montana. The Community Action Speaker Series is designed to increase community awareness and advocacy in regard to helping those in need. Events spotlight people and organizations that inspire human service, sustainable living, and a better community for all, particularly those facing poverty. Anders Lewendal of Anders Lewendal Construction will speak at the next event in the series on Tuesday, May 10th. The series schedule includes engaging programs through May 24th. May is HRDC’s Community Action month. Speaker events during this month will focus on topics related to housing.
