\n<\/strong>\u2022 Spring LnL updates
\n\u2022 Could ask Megan about a spring LnL. What topic should we ask about?
\n\u2022 State of wind energy? (No one really knows yet.)
\n\u2022 Heat pumps? Only relevant to homeowners
\n\u2022 Solar? We had one somewhat recently
\n\u2022 Native landscape person? About natural ways to fertilize, etc. Would be timely for spring.
\n“A Year in the Life of Your Garden.” Could ask C.L. Fornari?
\n\u2022 Alex will confirm with Natalie that we still have ERG funding
\n<\/strong>\n#3 Event planning
\n<\/strong>\u2022 Spring Repair Cafe
\n\u2022 Wait until Fadime is back; then organize
\n\u2022 Earth Day activity?
\n\u2022 Trash pickup?
\n\u2022 Email about energy reduction? Similar to last year’s plastics email.
\n\u2022 More general beautification (trash pickup, invasive pulling)
\n\u2022 Caro is interested in organizing this
\n<\/strong>\n#4 Garden\/landscape updates
\n<\/strong>\u2022 Planning for spring garden plot restart
\n\u2022 Liz and Kai planted garlic. Email organizing cleanup coming soon.
\n\u2022 How is landscape budget\/work changing?
\n\u2022 It will affect 2026 budget, expecting to reduce by 10%.
\n<\/strong>\n#5 Other discussion
\n<\/strong>\u2022 Solar installation is progressing on the David Center roof. Beyond that, we’re running out of
\nroof space to add solar.
\n\u2022 Report from energy consultant shows that WHOI is making progress on emissions reductions.
\nImprovement in both scope 1 and scope 2 emissions, with consistent downward trend since
\n2021.
\n\u2022 Can we get Dave or Kathryn to present this along with the EMP to the WHOI
\ncommunity?
