Waquoit Congregational Church Presents: Movies That Matter: Youth V Gov, Sunday, September 15, 2 - 4pm An inspiring documentary that follows the story of 21 youthful plaintiffs who file a ground-breaking lawsuit against the U.S. that eventually reaches the Supreme Court. The Juliana plaintiffs portrayed in Youth Vs. Gov are drawn from diverse American communities impacted by the climate crisis. They assert that the government has willfully acted over six decades to create the climate crisis, thus endangering their constitutional rights to life, liberty, and property. Filmed over a five-year period by documentary director, Christi Cooper, the film is at times triumphant and at times heartbreaking. But as these youth wait for their case to be decided, they pioneer a promising new strategy -- using the courts to hold governments and corporations responsible for their role in the climate crisis. The event is part of Movies That Matter, a documentary screening and discussion series that aims to shine a spotlight on the role that faith and faith communities can play in exploring and responding to critical and often controversial concerns. Movies That Matter is FREE and open to the public. Popcorn and cold drinks provided. Waquoit Congregational Church: 15 Parson’s Lane, East Falmouth.

Mass HCIC’s ‘All-Star’ program is tackling Cape Cod's housing and climate challenges! This summer, eight interns worked across five towns, proposing local solutions like communal housing and climate tech. As Director Stephen Morrill says, 'Our goal is to think about the different ways housing and climate come together... solutions that can be applied locally but also across the state.' Mass HCIC plans to expand its efforts to all 15 Cape towns, leading the way in housing and climate innovation.

⚡Where Does Your Electricity Come From? New England and Massachusetts are advancing towards renewable energy and modernizing the electric grid to boost capacity and efficiency. This transformation involves replacing fossil fuels with renewable sources and updating grid infrastructure. The state currently uses a mix of natural gas, nuclear, hydro, solar, oil, and wind, with 100% of usage offset by renewable energy certificates. Massachusetts aims for net-zero emissions by 2050 by expanding solar and wind power, enhancing energy efficiency, and reducing fossil fuels. These updates will improve grid reliability, support renewable energy connections, and enable better energy management for residents and businesses.
