Make sure you have a “Place At The Table”
50 million Americans struggle to put food on the table. The number of Americans at risk has increased from 36.2 million in 2007 to 50.1 million in 2011. Hunger is not caused by scarcity of food, but poverty.

OUR PROGRAM:
Hoe Energy Is At The Heart of Sustainability as Huntsville Continues To GO GREEN
Having explored sustainability and the greening of our city in a program in 2009, One Huntsville examines what now what has happened since 2009, culminating in the dynamic program WISE (Worthwhile Investments Save Energy). This program has diversified the region’s research and test portfolio, workforce and economy to include energy applications and innovations. Nexus has linked homeowners, contractors, realators & appraisers, businesses, churches, colleges and students to strengthen the Northern Alabama region to take charge in being a clean energy state. Nexus Energy Center’s partnership with Alabama businesses and homeowners has resulted in upgrading almost 820,000 square feet of building space, saving more than 2,000,000 kWh – representing $4,892,407.32 investment in Alabama.
Daniel Tait will be speaking on behalf of Nexus Energy Center. He is the Energy Efficiency Program Manager, a true expert in this industry. Daniel is excited about this event and looking forward to meeting everyone and sharing his insight.
News from other initiatives in our community promoting sustainability, greening, and wise and just energy use will also be shared!
