Families for a Livable Climate, Moms Clean Air Force, and Montana Renewable Energy Association in partnership with Montana DEQ and EPA are hosting an educational webinar about the federal funding available for Montana schools to transition to cleaner transportation, air, and energy for our kids. This webinar is intended for all interested in championing these efforts for your kids, school districts, and neighborhoods with the focus being solar panels and electric school buses. 

The U.S. Department of Energy and EPA has announced first-of-its-kind investments to make clean energy improvements at K-12 public schools. Funds will position school districts to make upgrades that will lower facilities’ energy costs by thousands of dollars per year, provide sustainable transportation, and foster healthier learning environments for students. 

This webinar will introduce these funding opportunities and how to apply. Hear from experts working to support these clean energy transitions, school representatives who have already successfully implemented clean energy upgrades, and ask how you can help your school and kids in Montana do the same.
