DESCRIPTION:Join Transition Santa Cruz and Gine Johnson, recently retired Executive 
 Director of Ecology Action, to learn about the biggest relocalization 
 initiative to come along in a long time: Community Choice Energy.\n\nAlso 
 known as "Community Choice Aggregation (CCA)," these initiatives allow a 
 community to form their own public energy agency, so we can choose 
 democratically where we want our electricity to come from. (The first in 
 the state is Marin Clean Energy and San Francisco has just started to set 
 up their version.)\n\nNot only is Community Choice Energy a good idea 
 emissions-wise, it also is an economic windfall, because by moving to a 
 public agency, we can keep our energy money local, instead of watching it 
 leave the community destined for the shareholders of PG&E.\n\nGine has been 
 working on a local CCA initiative since leaving Ecology Action. She will 
 talk about the local project and leave plenty of time for Q & A.\n\nIf you 
 can offer a ride to the potluck, please contact Cara, at 
 rat...@cruzio.com.\n\nPotluck 6:00, Program 7:00\nFeel free to come for 
 either or both!\n\nFree/by donation\nFamily friendly!\n\nTransition Santa
