An Evening With Bill McKibben

Fresh from keynoting the Asheville Ideas Festival, the legendary climate activist Bill McKibben graciously agreed to be the guest speaker at a fundraiser for the Neighbor to Neighbor Low Income Solar Program of Green Built Alliance.

Proceeds from registration will go to funding Green Built Alliance’s Neighbor to Neighbor Program, a triple bottom line program, it helps the environment, equity and the local economy. Last year, the program installed 12 solar systems for low income residents, many of them BIPOC, cutting utility bills for those who face the highest energy burden. Green Built Alliance hopes to install 20 more in the next two years. This year’s provider is Buncombe County’s very own Sugar Hollow Solar.

We want to thank Green Built Alliance donor Lauren Steiner for booking Mr. McKibben and sponsoring this event. We also would like to thank Malaprop's Bookstore for donating 10% of sales at the event to Green Built Alliance. Thank you to Biltmore Wine, New Belgium Brewing, Sage & Spice Catering, Zoe & Cloyd, The Collider, and all who attended or donated.

Thank you Zoe & Cloyd for permission to use their song "Equinox" in this video.
