How to Finance Climate Solutions

Virtual

These are exciting times. Every month brings new innovations in solar efficiency, wind, chemical battery storage, smart grids, microgrids, building efficiency, and building electrification—many of which were described in CRES chapter programs. Each of these innovations will play an important role in mitigating climate change risk. However, technological innovation alone is not sufficient to transition us from a fossil fuel-based economy to a renewable and sustainable economy. If these new energy sources are to mature and replace fossil fuels, we also need to create market conditions that will support them in their new role in our economy.

Longmont Farmers Market

The Boulder County Fairgrounds (9595 Nelson Road, Longmont, CO 80501). 9595 Nelson Road, Longmont

Long before Longmont was know as a bustling tech center, it was sustained by thousands of acres of farmland — starting with the establishment of a flour mill in 1887, and later with the vegetable cannery built in 1889. These days, Longmont farms provide much more than just sugar beets, and preserved farm land in Longmont and beyond helps fill our market with fresh, seasonal vegetables, dairy products, and Colorado-raised meats. We’re proud to be a growers-only market, meaning every product at the Longmont Farmers Market is created locally and sold by the vendors who produce it.
