Pints for a Purpose
2021-07-15 17:00 - 20:00
Join us for a Neighbor to Neighbor Solar fundraise! As a member of the Neighbor to Neighbor Solar coalition, MountainTrue helps play an important role in the Solarize Asheville-Buncombe County Campaign. Using solar energy can greatly reduce the electricity burden for low-income families while simultaneously freeing up funds for other critical family support needs. Combined with the Solarize Asheville-Buncombe group discount pricing, we can further reduce the cost of solar and help make your donation go even further!
Come out to Hi-Wire Brewing and enjoy a beer while learning about our Solarize program and support your neighbors! Hi-Wire will donate $1 from each pour of their Flagship pints during Neighbor to Neighbor Solar. Proceeds will help make no-cost or reduced-cost solar available for households making less than the area medium income.

Virtual Hendersonville Green Drinks: Neighborhood Hawks
2021-11-11 18:00 - 19:00
After reading J. A. Baker’s fifty-year-old British nature classic The Peregrine, John Lane found himself an ocean away, stalking resident red-shouldered hawks in his neighborhood in Spartanburg, South Carolina. What he observed was very different from what Baker deduced from a decade of chronicling the lives of those brooding migratory raptors. Baker imagined a species on the brink of extinction because of the use of agricultural chemicals on European farms. A half-century later in America, Lane found the red-shouldered hawks to be a stable Anthropocene species adapted to life along the waterways of a suburban nation.
Lane will discuss following the hawks, his writing process, and the reception to his neighborhood Hawks.
