The Climate and Energy Project

December 9th, 2008

I recently ran across a promising new project of The Land Institute in Salina, Kansas. The Climate and Energy Project (CEP) was launched in Februrary of 2007, and has since grown to a full-time staff of six. Randy Parry (Rural Learning Center President) saw a video from CEP at the W. K. Kellogg Foundation’s Rural People Rural Policy Network gathering in Kalamazoo, MI this Fall.

The CEP is about creating climate and energy conversations across the Great Plains, and staff hope to inspire stewardship, resilience, innovation and balance in rural places in the Midwest. Here’s a super video from the CEP team, focusing in on their home state, called “Where Does Kansas Stand?”

 

I’d encourage you to poke around a bit on the Climate and Energy Project website, including a great section called “Take Steps,” with tips (from free to expensive) for farms, businesses, and congregations. What does climate change and energy consumption mean for rural communities? Please share your thoughts in the Comments.
