SUMMARY:Workshop: How to Tell Your Climate Story
DESCRIPTION:Want to speak up for climate justice or other causes but not sure what to say? Believe strongly in these issues\, but are not sure how to convince your friends\, family\, or elected officials to take action? We know the feeling and can help! \nJoin the Sierra Club Digital Outreach team for a webinar training on storytelling and activism. \nSuccessful advocacy begins with a story – your story – but we know it can be challenging to get that story down in words. That’s why we invite you to join us on Monday\, May 23\, 2022\, at 4 pm PT / 7 pm ET for a deeper look at how to develop your story\, and how to connect it to the causes you want to champion. \nThe training will cover: How to articulate what you care about and why; connecting those passions to changes you want to see happen\, both nationally and locally; identifying challenges you have faced as an advocate; thinking about your accomplishments as an advocate; and weaving them all together to both write and tell your story to influence those around you! \nRegister and learn more here.

SUMMARY:Napa City Planning Commission - People at the Podium
DESCRIPTION:Make your voice heard and help us bring “people to the podium” (or just in the room!) \n\nSee the Agenda here\nSpeak in person or send in comments to planningcommission@cityofnapa.org for Item 8. A. Draft General Plan—see Talking Points below\nLet Bayard (bayard@bayardfoxselections.com ) know if you plan to attend the meeting and if you want to comment\n\nDear City of Napa Planning Commissioners\, \nBelow are recommendations from Napa Climate NOW! for the Climate Change and Sustainability Element and the Transportation Element of the Public Review Draft of the 2040 General Plan.   \nWe want to express our deep concern that it appears the work of the citizen representatives selected by the City Council to serve on the General Plan Advisory Committee (GPAC) has been ignored and overridden in the Public Draft.  The GPAC members not only held in-depth discussions of goal and policy wordings\, but also incorporated public feedback they received during GPAC meetings\, public hearings\, and additional outreach efforts.  We urge the Planning Commission to retain the language from the Draft Element Framework (4/2021) that resulted from the GPAC’s process. \nCOMMENTS ON THE CLIMATE CHANGE AND SUSTAINABILITY ELEMENT \nGeneral Recommendations \n\nRetain the stronger\, more precise terms proposed by the General Plan Advisory Committee (GPAC) in the Draft Element Framework (4/2021) as noted in Specific Comments below.\nThroughout the document replace “GHG emissions” with “GHG/SLCP emissions”.\n\n\nAligns the Plan with the reduction targets of SB 1383 for the Short-Lived Climate Pollutants: black carbon (a particulate) and the GHGs methane and hydrofluorocarbons.\nAllows incorporation of the GHG/SLCP inventory the City is supporting through the Napa County Climate Action Committee.\n\nAdditional policies recommended for inclusion:  \nUnder Goal CCS-1: Climate Change and GHG Reduction \n\n(From the 4/2021 Framework) Set clear goals to increase energy efficiency of City-owned buildings by implementing alternative and renewable energy solutions.\nReduce emissions from Small Off-Road Engines (SOREs) by prohibiting use of gasoline-powered leaf blowers.\nCCS 1-4: Add “Create a Sustainability Coordinator position within the City to provide oversight of CC&S goals and policies.  This position would also expand local awareness of actions that residents and businesses…”\n\nUnder Goal CCS-2: Land Use and Mobility \n\nLimit expansion of fossil fuel gasoline service stations to avoid additional brownfield sites and support transition to Zero-Emission Vehicles (ZEVs).\n\nUnder Goal CCS-4: Solid Waste Recycling and Waste Reduction \n\n(From the 4/2021 Framework) Transition the heavy refuse and recycling vehicle fleet to vehicles that are 100 percent electric by 2023.\nAdopt a Disposable Foodware Ordinance to eliminate non-recyclable\, non-compostable takeout ware.\n\nUnder Goal CCS-5: Water Use Efficiency and Conservation \n\n(From the 4/2021 Framework) Invest in infrastructure for potable recycled water.\n\nUnder Goal CCS-8: Green Building \n\n(From the 4/2021 Framework) Require NZE or net-positive design for significant retrofitting of existing buildings by (2025-suggested deadline).  Encourage NZE and net-positive design for adaptive reuse projects.  \nAlign City regulations with proposed BAAQMD thresholds of no natural gas appliances or natural gas plumbing in both residential and non-residential development.\nRequire that City-owned building projects provide training and apprenticeship opportunities targeted to local residents as specified in a Project Labor Agreement in order to develop the local skilled and trained blue collar construction workforce needed to craft high performance buildings. \n\nSpecific Recommendations \n\nPage 6-4\, Methane Emissions Reductions: Senate Bill 1383\n\nInclude the following: This legislation also set statewide emissions reduction targets specifying a 40 percent reduction in methane\, a 40 percent reduction in HFCs\, and a 50 percent reduction in anthropogenic black carbon below 2013 levels by 2030.  \n(from https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/our-work/programs/slcp/about#:~:text=These%20pollutants%20include%20the%20greenhouse\,climate%20change%20and%20public%20health.) \n\nPage 6-9\n\nInclude the following under Solid Waste Recycling and Waste Reduction: (From the BAAQMD 2017 Clean Air Plan\, page 3-13) However\, in the case of GHGs with a shorter atmospheric lifespan\, such as black carbon and methane\, a 20-year time frame provides a more realistic means to express their global warming potential. For example\, …\, methane has a GWP of 34 using a 100-year time frame\, but its GWP increases to 86 using a 20-year time frame. \n\nCCS 1-1: (Retain 4/2021 language.) Replace “Seek to achieve net zero climate pollutants…” with “Achieve net zero climate pollutants…”\nCCS 1-2: (Retain 4/2021 language.) Replace “The City should lead by example…” with “Ensure that the City leads by example…”\nCCS 1-2: Replace “Develop plans for the reduction of fossil fuel consumption…” with “Develop plans for the elimination of fossil fuel consumption…” and set a deadline.\nCCS 1-2: Add “utilizing sustainable construction practices to achieve a standard of (e.g.CalGreen Tier 1/Tier 2/LEED Gold or other).”\nCCS 1-5: Insert (in bold) “develop a Climate Action Plan for the City…”\nCCS 2-1: (Retain 4/2021 language.) Replace “Expand programs that encourage the installation of electric vehicle charging infrastructure.” with “Expand electric vehicle charging infrastructure.”\nCCS 2-3: (Retain 4/2021 language.) Replace “Study options to transition the City’s vehicle fleet…” with “Transition the City’s vehicle fleet…”. Set a deadline.\nCCS 3-1: (Retain 4/2021 language.) Replace “Study and incorporate green infrastructure…” with “Incorporate green infrastructure…”\nCCS 3-3: “Install a BioEnergy system…” Move this policy from Green Infrastructure to  Energy Generation and Security.\nCCS-4: (Retain 4/2021 language.)

SUMMARY:No Drilling Contra Costa Youth March & Rally
DESCRIPTION:Please join us in building a greener\, healthier\, fossil fuel-free future. Let’s stop the expansion of fossil fuel production right in our own backyard! \nThe No Drilling Contra Costa Youth March and Rally will take place on Saturday\, March 12th\, 1-3 PM at the Antioch Community Center. We’ll march 1.2 miles on a trail along Lone Tree Way and then join a rally on the right-hand side of the Antioch Community Center parking lot. The rally will feature speakers\, music\, art\, an informational fair\, and a supervised\, fenced-in playground for young children. We hope you’ll join us! Put on your walking shoes and wear blue and green . Bring water\, snacks\, banners\, and signs. \nStay updated on Instagram! @nodrillingcontracosta \nResearch\, including a 2021 Stanford study\, shows that living within 2.5 miles of oil and gas drilling sites increases rates of childhood asthma\, cancer\, birth defects\, miscarriage\, and premature births. Yet\, in the fall of 2018 oil drilling restarted here—within a half mile of Dozier-Libbey High School\, the Kaiser Antioch Medical Center\, and pending senior housing. A new injection well for drilling waste water was just permitted. And a proposal for additional drilling less than 1\,000 feet from Brentwood homes is currently before county planners. \nTo learn more about our cause\, please check out—and sign—this petition to stop new oil and gas drilling in Contra Costa. \nThis is event is endorsed by Sunflower Alliance\, Sustainable Contra Costa\, Sustainable Leaders in Action\, Youth vs Apocalypse\, 350 Bay Area\, 350 Contra Costa\, 1000 Grandmothers for Future Generations\, CA Youth Vs Big Oil\, City of Antioch Health Department\, Climate Health Now\, Earth Guardians Bay Area\, East County NAACP\, Hijas Del Campo\, Idle No More SF Bay\, Pittsburg Youth Action\, Project Climate\, SF Bay Physicians for Social Responsibility\, and the Sierra Club Delta Chapter.

SUMMARY:January 6 Candlelight Vigil for Democracy
DESCRIPTION:January 6 was a violent and deadly attack against all Americans – against our country\, our democracy\, and our freedom as voters to choose the leaders that represent us so that we have a government of\, by\, and for the people. \nOne year later\, the same faction that attacked our country on January 6th is hard at work silencing our voices by restricting our freedom to vote\, attacking fair voting districts\, and quietly preparing future attempts to sabotage free and fair elections and with it our democracy. \nSo this January 6\, exactly one year later\, Americans across race\, place\, party\, and background are holding candlelight vigils to say: In America\, the voters decide the outcome of elections! \nThe promise of democracy is not a partisan issue but a calling that unites us as Americans. To prevent this kind of attack from happening again\, our elected leaders must pass urgent legislation that will protect this country from anti-democratic forces who are continuing their efforts to destroy it. \nComing together\, we can prevent another January 6th attack and realize the promise of democracy for all of us – no matter our color\, zip code\, or income – so we all have an equal say in the decisions that shape our daily lives and futures. \n\nWhen:  January 6\, 2022\nTime:  5:00 – 6:00 p.m.\nWhere:  Veterans Park\, Downtown Napa\, 3rd and Main\nYou must RSVP at this link to attend.\nRSVP: \nWear masks\, bring tea lights or small flashlights\, and make a poster! \nAny questions\, email us here!

SUMMARY:The Next Generation of Foodware Policies: Encouraging Safer Food Packaging and Reusable Foodware
DESCRIPTION:For the last several years\, Upstream has shared single-use foodware reduction policy models that also include bans on toxic PFAS in food packaging. But\, with over 12\,000 chemicals in food packaging and other food contact materials\, PFAS bans alone won’t ensure the safety of food packaging. \nUpstream has teamed up with the Safer States network to develop more comprehensive foodware reduction policies designed to help us move towards non-toxic reusables and phase out the most problematic chemicals and materials from disposable food packaging. \nIn our next National Reuse Network meeting* on December 16\, Miriam Gordon from Upstream and Renée Sharp from Safer States will present their shared vision for the next generation of foodware policies. Based on the strategies featured in Upstream’s newly launched Reuse Policy Playbook\, we will showcase why it’s important to consider the role of toxic chemicals during the transition to reusables – including an overview of High Priority Chemicals and Materials to eliminate from food packaging and foodware – both disposable and reusable. \nDate: Thursday\, Dec 16\nTime: 11:30 AM PT / 2:30 PM ET \nJoin us to learn how you can help drive the transition to safer foodware. \nThis webinar will run for one hour. This event is free and open to the public. Space is limited\, so please register today. A recording of the event will be made available to all registrants\, regardless of if you can attend.

SUMMARY:The Climate of the Future
DESCRIPTION:Kim Stanley Robinson’s thriller The Ministry for the Future (2020) is science fiction that reads as hard-edged journalism. With short chapters and a myriad of characters\, Robinson creates a kaleidoscope of perspectives on a global climate collapse coming in 2025. Bill McKibben writes “In Kim Stanley Robinson’s anti-dystopian novel\, climate change is the crisis that finally forces mankind to deal with global inequality.” At heart an optimist\, Robinson lays out a possible path to move forward with faith in what we can create together in a post-capitalist world.\n\n\nRegister and learn more here: https://harvard.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Ki9SObPISlWvz9kaCDOTVA

SUMMARY:The Climate of Grief
DESCRIPTION:Victoria Chang writes in her New York Times Notable Book of 2020\, Obit\, “I always knew that grief was something I could smell. But I didn’t know that it’s not actually a noun but a verb. That it moves.” After the deaths of her parents\, she refused to write elegies; instead\, Chang wrote poetic obituaries of the beautiful\, broken world that surrounds her (many see them as love letters). How does poetry illuminate this time of uncertainty? How do we embrace grief and not look away from all that is breaking our hearts? What we thought was a pause is now a place\, and grief is part of this place.\nRespondent: Jorie Graham\, Poet\, Harvard English Department \nRegister and learn more here: https://harvard.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_BdGi-JXVSDe8RpzNonMLqQ
