On Set with the AR Climate Is Changing
documentary film crew.
This film project is a grant funded effort by the
World Wildlife Fund implemented by the Earth Cause Organization. We
continue to have travelled all across the state from Fort Smith,
Fayetteville, Clinton and down to Hot Springs and Helena, just to
name a few towns in Arkansas, and the effort continues. We are
collecting stories and opinions on a changing environment here in
the Natural State. Come find us shooting at the Energy for the
Environment Rally, this next Saturday from 12- 2 PM in the
Riverfront park. Hear your voice heard and tell your
story!

 The Property Assessed Clean Energy [PACE]
Program can save Arkansans $$$
The PACE Assessment Protection
Act,
or S. 3642/ H.R. 5766 is
a local solution that helps home and business owners finance energy
efficiency and renewable energy improvements. By providing owners
with long-term financing options that are repaid through an
assessment on property taxes, PACE provides financial security for
home and business owners, creates jobs in the home improvement
industry, and boosts manufacturing of clean and efficient
technologies and products.
But now, financing for PACE is
at risk due to recent statements issued by the Federal Housing
Finance Agency (FHFA).
Before the FHFA action, PACE initiatives were sprouting up in
cities across America, helping them create jobs, save people money
and save energy. Now, cities in 22 states have suspended or
dissolved their programs while the launch of new programs across
the country are killed.
Congress cannot allow the FHFA
to stand in the way of clean energy jobs and lower utility bills
for millions of Americans. Urge Congress to pass the PACE
Assessment Protection Act today!
For Arkansas that means local
jobs, cutting energy costs and reducing mortgage
defaults!
Join business owners from
around the country and ask Congress to swiftly pass the PACE
Assessment Protection Act!
