What does clean energy have to do with protecting Texas’ lands, waters, and wildlife? In this talk, Environment Texas City Hall Advocate Ian Seamans will explore the connections between renewable energy and conservation — from how solar and wind power can reduce air and water pollution to how energy efficiency helps preserve natural resources. Ian will also provide an overview of the current state of renewable energy in Texas and share practical steps individuals can take to shrink their energy footprint, save money, and make the switch to 100% renewable electricity at home.

As the City Hall Advocate for Environment Texas, Ian works to secure clean air, clean water, well-funded parks, and a livable climate across North Texas. Ian has led campaigns to include environmental reforms in the City of Dallas’s comprehensive plan, protect transit funding, and streamline rooftop solar permitting in Dallas.

Outside of his professional role, Ian volunteers as a Texas Master Naturalist, and serves on the boards of the League of Women Voters of Collin County and League of Women Voters of Texas. Ian’s work is driven by the belief that local action is critical to driving broad change for our environment.

Environment Texas works for clean air, clean water, clean energy, wildlife and open spaces, and a livable climate. Our members across the state put grassroots support behind our research and advocacy. Environment Texas is part of Environment America, a national network of 30 state environmental groups.

For Master Naturalists, this often counts as 1 hour of Advanced Training but check the MN schedule to be sure.
