Interested in making your home more climate friendly but not sure where to start? Visit the Oak Park Climate Action Network website at www.opcan.org/climate-coaches to sign up for a free 30-minute coaching session with Oak Park neighbors who have experience with a range of topics such as:
- Electrifying a home (replacing a gas furnace with a heat pump that both heats and cools, replacing gas stoves and hot water heaters with clean electric models, electrical upgrades, insulating and weatherizing, and more)
- Installing solar panels
- Subscribing to community solar: no rooftop panels needed!
- Purchasing and owning an electric vehicle
- Planting native gardens and reducing flooding
Oak Park’s neighborhood climate coaching initiative is a partnership between the Village and the volunteer group Oak Park Climate Action Network (OPCAN). For more information about the Village’s efforts related to environmental sustainability, contact sustainability@oak-park.us or call 708.358.5770.
