RCE Greater Atlanta Youth Engagement Session
Friday, April 14, 1:50pm–3:05pm
ROOM #246
How much of your monthly income do you spend on your energy bill? How does this energy burden vary based on one's income, location, education, and skin color? What are the risks and implications associated with energy burden? How can we reduce energy burden? College students, city residents, homeowners and all are invited to learn about the reality and challenges of energy burden in Atlanta, the nation’s capital of income inequality. The goals of the session are to introduce students to the basic concepts of energy burden and to help them consider various energy realities faced by different households and communities. The session includes an exploration of smart solutions and opportunities for future engagement.
