REMEMBER - there are many experts in your community who can also help discuss these topics at Earth Day events.
Leaders of local faith communities. Many faith traditions have a long history of considering how humans interact with the natural world.
Extension agents. Your local extension agent has access to many earth-friendly resources, from energy saving tips, to help with soil and water conservation.
Master Gardeners. Gardeners are familiar with the earth on a very basic level, from soil quality to insect cycles. They can also suggest easy projects that you and your family can do at home.
HVAC experts and contractors. We use enormous amounts of energy to heat and cool our homes. Weatherizing and insulating can make a big difference to saving energy and saving money, too. These hands-on experts can help explain your options.
Mechanics. Ask a local mechanic to give tips on maintaining and driving your vehicles for better fuel efficiency.
Outdoorsmen, birdwatchers, and wildlife management professionals. These folks all spend a lot of time outdoors, carefully watching the environment.
Science teachers. From grade schools to community colleges, science teachers are an important community resource.
Legislators. After this last legislative session especially, your state legislators have heard a great deal about energy policy in Kansas. Invite them to your event and ask plenty of questions about current events - they are on break during April.
