This is happening now!
On Earth Day this year, the City of Houston published its first Climate Action Plan. The plan is the culmination of thousands of volunteer time from industry professionals, policy stakeholders, and community advocates. Together the working groups have laid out a concise plan to address the climate challenges that Houston faces along with maintaining a leadership role in the energy transition.
This year's Climathon will look to realize some of the goals of the plan through design sprints led by local subject matter experts in the areas of Transportation, Energy Innovation, Building Optimization, and Materials Management.
Join Climathon Houston on November 13 at 1pm to address these issues with real-world solutions to these pressing problems we face together!

We had such an energizing and motivational morning celebrating the launch of the Houston Fire Station Energy Challenge! Thank you to Fire Chief Rodney West for kicking this program off and IKEA USA for sponsoring. The Houston Fire Station Energy Challenge is an initiative with our local heroes at the Houston Fire Department to promote energy efficiency behavior changes. We are tracking energy usage for a handful of stations to show the impact of daily habits on electricity use. IKEA USA has graciously provided a starter pack of materials to make these behavior changes more attainable.
I'm VERY thankful for @houstonbcycle
