STAY CONNECTED
In the face of a rapidly changing climate, we recognize the urgent need to take action. Granville is a community that cares about its future, and together we are choosing to lead: cutting greenhouse gas emissions, protecting places we love, and creating a greener, more climate-resilient village.
CLIMATE RESILIENCY
Going green (+ getting creative) when the grid goes down
Go Green Granville recently hosted a sustainability & resiliency "show and tell" featuring ways to utilize electric vehicles, inverters paired with electric mower batteries, and other portable power options to supply critical power when the grid goes down. This standing room only Life Local event at Bryn Du Mansion highlighted some of the creative ways Granville residents are going green and keeping their lights on, the fridge cold, and their phones charged during power outages. It also explored ways in which Granville can become a more sustainable, climate resilient community.
