As the Eagles Ice Arena in Spokane celebrates its 50th anniversary, Avista is helping make sure the community ice rink stays around for another 50 years with energy-saving upgrades 💡 Support from Avista’s Commercial Lighting Rebate Program and Named Communities Investment Fund (NCIF) made it possible for the arena to install new LED lights inside and outside the building. The savings are significant. Not only did Avista’s programs cover nearly the entire project cost, but the upgrades will also lead to about $6,000 a year in savings on their energy bill. This means the ice arena can use the money they save to improve other parts of the nonprofit. Plus, LEDs last several years longer than the old fluorescent bulbs they replaced, requiring less maintenance. The lighting upgrade is just one part of the Eagles Ice Arena renovations.

📣 Introducing Otley Common... This is a story about our towns, our streets, our buildings and our community. The spaces and places we all share, should share and need to share. They lead us to a deeper sense of place and connect us to each other. COMMON places that we can meet, learn, teach, work and enjoy. Places that make us feel proud. Places that speak to us, that we have helped create, we can have a stake in, that we build for the COMMON good. To create a new history – reinvented, renovated and reimagined. What our old COMMON buildings can be. These buildings were never constructed to serve the few, they were created in eras of civic pride, constructed for the common person. This is our collective commission – to become custodians of the building, to give it a new purpose, a new lease of life and meaning for the future and value to our town and all of us that live here. An open building that becomes a beacon, an inviting place for us all to use, to communicate, to comment. A place that combines the wealth of a community, its people, its resources and its spirit. Created from a cooperative approach and a true sense of duty. The building will be a place we all have in COMMON.  Find out how you can donate, invest, support and get involved in our plans to purchase and transform Otley Methodist Church at https://lnkd.in/e5_4S64k

How much wasted paper is there in the world? Or even wasted space online? The antidote is well-used paper, and well-used space. So please share this fundraiser by a small impactful charity, producing books of well-used paper, and e-books of well-used space. Today the fundraiser launched for possibly our most ambitious book yet, themed around ecological crisis and societal collapse. We would be grateful for a simple positive reaction on this post, to boost engagement. Even better, why not drop a little comment, and share your thoughts, whether frivolous or profound? Further, why not repost with your own thoughts, thus boosting your own profile? Finally...you could donate, to help this book become a reality.

#positiveimpact #cimateactivism #ecology #ecologicalcrisis #publishing To all those contacts who I have engaged with meaningfully in the past, please share this far and wide!!

Have you heard of 'deconstruction'? 🏡🔨 It's the eco-friendly alternative to demolition - instead of tearing apart valuable materials from your home (cabinets, countertops, wood, tile, etc) and dumping them in a landfill, Stardust's deconstruction team will carefully remove each piece so these materials can be reused for many more years. . If you're thinking of remodeling your home, we encourage all of our customers to look into deconstruction, for several reasons: 🌎 Stardust's deconstruction team charges nominal fee (demolition can cost thousands) ♻️ we carefully remove each piece, including cleaning up & moving all materials (demolition can leave dangerous debris behind) 💙 saves you time and money! 🌱 plus, it keeps reusable materials out of the landfill .

We need wildfire reform and better forest management practices in BC. The McDougall Creek fire did not need to happen; excess red tape & bureaucracy, unwillingness to work with local experts, and mismanagement is what caused the fire to get out of control. Wildfires need to be put out rapidly and forests need to be managed effectively. An incredible group of locals, including several Registered Professional Foresters, are looking to make a documentary highlighting how we can turn the dial and bring health and prosperity back to our forest and prevent wildfires from devastating our province. It's about the environment, preservation, sustainability, and even economic stability. For our forests, and for our future. Please watch this trailer and consider donating to make this vision a reality! https://lnkd.in/gzUs6EWu
