SUMMARY:Monarch Butterflies: Past\, Present\, & Future
DESCRIPTION:The monarchs’ history is lengthy\, and details are few\, but it’s clear that this species has survived an extremely variable climatic history.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this Event\n\n\nThe pending petition before the Department of Interior to declare the monarch butterfly a threatened species requires that we do everything we can to understand the population dynamics of this species. \nThe responses of monarchs to weather events in the last two decades provide insights as to both the size of past and future monarch populations. This population dynamic has played out against a background of human driven changes in habitats across the landscapes of eastern North America and Mexico. Unfortunately\, landscapes that support monarchs are continuing to decline rapidly as a result of agricultural practices\, development and warming climates. These changes not only involve the loss of milkweeds and nectar sources needed to sustain reproduction and migration but extend to the persistence of the forests in Mexico that sustain the overwintering population. Will the monarch migration become a victim of climate change? Probably. Can we keep this from happening? Yes. \nSpeaker Bio: Chip Taylor is the Founder and Director of Monarch Watch\, and an Emeritus Professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Kansas. Trained as an insect ecologist at the University of Connecticut\, his research projects have included studies of reproductive isolating mechanisms in sulfur butterflies\, reproductive and life history patterns in plants\, comparative biology of European and Neotropical African honey bees and migratory behavior of monarch butterflies. In 1974\, Chip Taylor established research sites and directed students studying Neotropical African honey bees (killer bees) in French Guiana\, Venezuela\, and Mexico. In 1992\, Taylor founded Monarch Watch\, an outreach program focused on education\, research and conservation relative to monarch butterflies. Since then\, Monarch Watch has enlisted the help of volunteers to tag monarchs during the fall migration. Over 2 million monarchs have been tagged by volunteers since 1992. Of these\, over nineteen thousand have been recovered. This program has provided many new insights about the dynamics of the fall monarch migration. \nThis webinar is being offered ONLINE through Zoom.

SUMMARY:Where does all the water go?
DESCRIPTION:Did you know unmanaged stormwater is responsible for about 60% of pollutants entering our streams\, rivers\, lakes and reservoirs? That’s because when it rains\, chemicals and other dangerous pollutants on our streets\, parking lots\, and roads get washed into storm drains which drain directly into our waterways. This contamination can put restrictions on recreation and spoil drinking water. \n\n\n\n\nUnmanaged stormwater poses a serious threat to our public health. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo understand this issue better and explore solutions\, join the NJ Flood Defense partners for this educational webinar. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFeatured speakers include: \n\nDr. Meiyin Wu\, Director of New Jersey Center for Water Science and Technology and Professor of Biology at Montclair State University\n\n\nSusan Rosenwinkel\, Bureau Chief\, Surface Water Permitting with the NJDEP

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

SUMMARY:Learn what The Department of the Interior does.
DESCRIPTION:What do you know about this incredibly influential department that controls public lands throughout the United States? Other than the Teapot Dome Scandal from U.S. History class\, have you put much thought into the Department of the Interior? \nThe Department of the Interior is sometimes jokingly called the “Department of Everything Else” because of its wide scope of duties. From oil and gas leases to mining and endangered species\, the department makes critical decisions about our lands\, people\, and climate\, but many Americans do not know what it does. \nJoin us as we dive into the Department of the Interior and look at how President Trump’s dangerous anti-public lands agenda has stacked the deck by putting people in charge who do not believe in the mission of public lands. \nPresident Trump is nominating William Perry Pendley\, a man who has spent his legal career fighting public lands and environmental protections and has compared climate change to unicorns\, to be the next head of the Bureau of Land Management\, the agency responsible for administering public lands and grazing\, mining\, energy development\, and logging leases on public lands. \nThis Lunch and Learn will be conducted over Zoom on Tuesday\, July 28th at 12:30 pm EST. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions as well. A invitation link will be sent to your email prior to the town hall. Please RSVP here – we look forward to seeing you there!

SUMMARY:Microplastics in Riverine Systems - Lunch with Carol
DESCRIPTION:Carol will discuss microplastics in our environment . Plastics are commonplace in and around our waters of Pennsylvania\, in our soils\, and in the air\, and understanding their affects on our environments and on life is urgent. This science is still in its infancy and questions are basic such as how plastics are being dumped and leaked daily\, which biological systems can microplastics affect with how much damage\, and what are the effects on biota of the contaminants in plastics. Policies are not yet developed in any country for microplastics\, or on effects in riverine systems. The current methods to dispose of plastic waste are far from being circularized in the economy. More information is needed on effectiveness of efforts to reduce plastic waste\, how to change human behavior and responses to policies\, how industry can be drawn in with incentives/disincentives\, and on how to assess the consequences of plastic waste. This webinar will focus on studies and policies on riverine systems\, and will include available studies of Pennsylvania streams.\n\nCarol Armstrong is a cognitive neuroscientist and neuropsychologist who shifted her focus to watershed restoration after 35 years of research on radiotherapy effects on the brain and caring for people with brain cancer and other neurological and psychiatric illnesses at the University of Pennsylvania Medical School and the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. She is a member of the Friends of Heinz Refuge Board\, PennState Ext. Master Watershed Steward for Chester and Delaware Counties\, the Stroud Water Research Center’s stream monitoring program\, vice-chair of Charlestown Township Environmental Advisory Committee\, and Advisory Council of the Pennsylvania Office of the Chesapeake Bay Foundation.\n\n\nIf you have any questions please feel free to reach out to me at suedcva@gmail.com\n\nVisit DCVA.org for all upcoming events and webinars.

SUMMARY:Unbroken Ground - Online Film
DESCRIPTION:Online film showing of ‘Unbroken Ground‘ by Chris Malloy. \nFollowed by a discussion with Jackie Ricotta. \nOur food choices are deeply connected to climate change. Unbroken Ground explains the critical role food will play in the next frontier of our efforts to solve the environmental crisis.  This film explores four areas of agriculture that aim to change our relationship to the land and oceans. Most of our food is produced using methods that reduce biodiversity\, decimate soil and contribute to climate change. We believe our food can and should be a part of the solution to the environmental crisis – grown\, harvested and produced in ways that restore our land\, water and wildlife. The film tells the story of four groups that are pioneers in the fields of regenerative agriculture\, regenerative grazing\, diversified crop development and restorative fishing. \nTo join the event (via Google Hangout)\, please send email to HammontonGreenEvents@Gmail.com \nPlease RSVP by May 5\, 2020 at 5pm and you will receive a link to the event. \nThis is the first virtual event of the 2020 eye opening film and lecture series.

SUMMARY:Webinar on health and climate hazards of biogas
DESCRIPTION:Bio(gas)hazards: Dirty Air\, Factory Farms and Climate Change\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOil and gas companies are teaming up with factory farms to sell us a greenwashed nightmare: manure as renewable energy.\n\nManure-to-energy\, or “biogas\,” uses manure from factory farms to create natural gas. It entrenches factory farms by creating a market for the huge volumes of manure they produce. Investing in the massive infrastructure needed to produce biogas wastes critical resources that should be used to shift us toward real renewable energy. It will disproportionately impact communities of color. And it won’t address our climate crisis or our factory farm problem.
