SUMMARY:Language of Nature
DESCRIPTION:JANUARY 28 & FEBRUARY 4\, 11\, 18 \n7 – 8:30 p.m.\nAdults\, Virtual program \nThis popular reading series is taught by Dr. Winifred Hughes Spar\, Ph.D.\, a former English literature professor at Princeton University.

Her poems\, many on the subject of nature\, have appeared in Poetry Magazine and other journals. She has been the recipient of two Individual Artist Fellowships from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts. \nThis upcoming course will examine what is happening to nature writing under the inescapable pressures of climate change and environmental crisis. We will explore our evolving human relationship with the natural world through the eyes of contemporary poets. Discover eco-poetry and eco-criticism\, tracing the movement from mid-20th century awakenings to current issues of environmental justice\, biocentrism\, and “the end of nature.” \nEach week we will read and discuss selections from the work of such authors as Gary Snyder\, Joy Harjo\, Camille Dungy\, Tommy Pico\, and more.\nFor additional information\, please contact the Watershed at education@thewatershed.org or email winnie@winifredhughes.com Discount available for members.

SUMMARY:Electric Vehicle Workshop for Local Governments Webinar
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is an opportunity for South Jersey municipalities\, counties\, public agencies\, Sustainable Jersey Green Teams and others to learn about electric vehicles (EVs) and charging infrastructure. \nIn 2012\, there were just 338 plug-in or battery EVs registered in New Jersey. There are now over 30\,000. Recently passed state legislation seeks to push that number past 330\,000 by 2025. EVs are now mainstream and this impacts local governments. This workshop aims to provide the tools necessary to make your community EV friendly. \nTopics covered include: \n– EV technology and emerging issues in New Jersey \n– EV charging infrastructure guidelines for municipalities \n– Available state funding and procurement programs \nSpeakers include representatives from: \n– Cross County Connection TMA \n– New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) \n– Sustainable Jersey \nDetails: \nWebinar held via ZOOM. When you receive the confirmation email\, click “Go to Online Event” for webinar link and associated materials. \nEmail farley@driveless.com for more information. \nNote: Cross County Connection’s Electric Vehicle Workshop for Local Governments scheduled for last April was postponed due to COVID-19.

SUMMARY:Renewable Government Energy Aggregation (R-GEA) Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this webinar to learn about the nuts and bolts of creating a municipal Renewable Government Energy Aggregation (R-GEA) Program for your community. R-GEA allows the municipality — or a group of municipalities — to negotiate for higher renewable content in the electricity delivered to residents. \n\nPurchasing electricity with higher renewable content\, particularly from renewable resources in the PJM region as required by Sustainable Jersey’s Renewable Government Energy Aggregation action\, helps transform the market for development of more renewable energy production at grid-scale\, reducing overall greenhouse gas emissions. Speakers will include representatives from municipalities and regional hubs that have established an R-GEA program for one municipality or for a group of municipalities. \n\nREGISTER
