The Lake Oswego Sustainability Network (LOSN) invites community members to an educational evening on the transition to clean energy. The event will feature Brian Stewart, co-founder of Electrify Now and former Vice President of Sustainable Innovation at Nike, who will discuss how electrification can reduce carbon emissions, improve indoor air quality, and lower energy costs.

Stewart will highlight both the broader environmental impacts of electrification and practical ways residents can make their homes more efficient and resilient. Participants will also learn about free home electrification coaching available through the LOSN/Electrify Oregon partnership. These coaches assist homeowners in identifying opportunities, understanding available incentives, and planning upgrades.

This program offers an opportunity to gain practical knowledge, connect with others interested in sustainability, and contribute to a cleaner energy future for Lake Oswego.
