Hey Davis! Ready to Give Cool and Give Big May 4th?
BIG GOALS for Big Day of Giving — $20,000 Give Now to Cool Davis!
Cool Davis is launching the next phase of our Cool Homes outreach efforts this fall!
Volunteer leaders must be trained and program activities prepared for the fall. The BigDay of Giving will help Cool Davis jump start this effort. Funds we raise on Big Day of Giving will support a Field Coordinator to recruit, train and manage this team of outreach and support volunteers rolling out of our energy related campaigns like Double up on Solar!.
Early on Cool Davis set a goal of engaging 75% of households in the community in greenhouse gas reduction (nearly 20,000 households). We know that thousands of households are taking action, like the nearly 3000 with solar PV, hundreds completing energy retrofits, or removing their lawns. Now is the time for an expanded effort to help households take the next step while providing deeper connections to community wide climate action.
Our Goal for Big Day of Giving is $20,000 —

Cool Davis is hoping all our friends living in Rancho Yolo remain well! This is a reminder of our fragile grid and the need to look after each other during heat emergencies. Hurray that the City of Davis City now has Social Services staff to join City of Davis Fire Department to assist when a vulnerable neighborhood's power goes down.
For other down neighborhoods - remember to check on your neighbors! If your power is still on consider ways to reduce your energy use pre-cool , cover windows, delay appliance use, double up with neighbors in a cool location - cooling center (see City post for cooling center info), movie theater etc to reduce loads. After the emergency, move forward on your plans for how you will reduce and manage energy use in the future. We have to stand together to adapt to new climate challenges. Cool Davis and our many partners are here to help.
