CLIMATE ACTIONS

The Teton Repair Café is modeled on the international Repair Café and keeps treasured items out of the landfill while building skills and community along the way.

Ever considered owning an EV? Not sure if it fits with your lifestyle? The Electric Vehicle (EV) Experience program is open to those who live or work in Teton County, WY. This no-strings-attached trial is an opportunity to: practice charging, locate public charging stations, plan daily trips according to the range and to feel more comfortable with new technology.

For commuters over Teton Pass, covering the 5.5 miles from downtown Jackson to the intersection of Highway 22 and the Moose-Wilson road only gets them 20% of the way home, but can account for over 65% of the travel time in summer.

The U.S. Department of Energy defines community solar as any solar project or purchasing program, within a geographic area, in which the benefits of a solar project flow to multiple customers such as individuals, businesses, nonprofits, and other groups.

Now that we have a county composting facility on the property of the trash transfer station, there is a commercial "curb to compost" service.

At recent growth rates there will be 3,500 electric vehicles (EVs) registered in Teton County by 2030 and even more passing through as EV range and highway charging infrastructure increases.

Heat pumps could cut energy usage for space and water heating by 40-60%. In the case of a natural gas retrofit, this represents a significant emissions savings (3.8 tons of CO2e per year for the typical natural gas household).

The Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) and Low Income Energy Assistance Program (LIEAP) each provide assistance for net zero carbon actions.

A Pay As You Throw (PAYT) program, also known as unit pricing, charges residents and businesses for waste collection based on the amount thrown away - offering a direct financial incentive to reduce landfill waste.

The purpose of this project is to get more people from a greater variety of backgrounds onto E-Bikes. A midsummer drive from the hospital to high school takes x minutes (Jackson/Teton County Indicator Report) and emits y lbs of CO2.

Electric bicycles, E-bikes, decrease emissions, increase mobility for populations that cannot drive, and shorten travel times when traffic is congested.

The Aluminum Recycling Promotion Project would both promote the use of aluminum over glass and plastic and encourage the recycling of that aluminum locally.
