SUMMARY:2021-24 Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program (MTIP) Comments
DESCRIPTION:The 2021-24 Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program (MTIP) is now open for public comment. \nThe MTIP is an important guiding document for the region. Prepared by Metro every four years\, it records how all federal transportation money is spent in the Portland metropolitan area. It also records state- and locally-funded projects that may significantly affect the region’s air quality. \nThe 2021-2024 MTIP is not a bold\, equitable climate action plan; it is a direct pipeline to construction of fossil fuel infrastructure. Before we protest construction of this fossil fuel infrastructure in four years\, let’s begin shaping the future now. \nLearn more and see sample comments\, or head straight to the survey to give your feedback. Deadline Monday May 18. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCheck out our talking points here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTake the survey here!

SUMMARY:Virtual Workshop: Coping With Climate Anxiety in the Classroom and for Yourself
DESCRIPTION:The Worry & Hope study at the University of Hawaii revealed a pervasive emotional climate of fear\, anger\, sadness\, shame and hope about climate change. College faculty already knew this\, and are\, themselves\, feeling anxiety\, grief\, and additional stress that accompanies a sense of urgency and responsibility to teach and engage with students about climate change across all academic subject areas. \nThis two hour online workshop is for faculty to address their own emotions so that we can create and hold space in our classrooms for students to integrate and process hard realities about climate change impacts. If not here\, where? If not us\, who? A short overview of research on climate change education and pedagogies will be followed by experiential workshop going through 4 activities that you can then use in your classroom.  The activities are based on recent research as well as ecotherapy\, ecopsychology\, and the Active Hope work of Joanna Macy. \nKrista Hiser is the Director of the University of Hawaii System Center for Sustainability Across the Curriculum (an AASHE Regional Center). She is also a longtime Professor of writing and teaches climate change communication\, project-based sustainability capstone\, and climate fiction. \nA Zoom link\, some view-ahead materials\, and technology requirements will be forward to registered participants. Video connectivity is required\, and participants must attend the entire 2 hour workshop to preserve the interactive online engagement.

SUMMARY:Solutions Center: Helping You Understand Your Carbon Reduction Options
DESCRIPTION:SPEAKERS:\n– Dave Karlsgodt\, Director\, Management Advisory Services\, Brailsford & Dunlavey\, Inc\n– Steve Muzzy\, Senior Manager Climate Programs\, Second Nature \n– Chris O’Brien\, Director of Business Development\, CustomerFirst Renewables \nDESCRIPTION:  Chris O’Brien of CustomerFirst Renewables (CFR) and Dave Karlsgodt of Brailsford & Dunlavey (formerly Fovea) have been working with campuses for years. Their conversations with sustainability professionals inevitably turn to discussing options for carbon and energy reductions and they have compiled a running list of nearly 50 activities a campus can take to help meet climate goals. They’ve also designed an impact matrix that helps organize projects based on greenhouse gas reduction\, economic impact\, feasibility\, publicity\, timeline\, and maintenance. Second Nature has partnered with CFR and Brailsford & Dunlavey to launch the Solutions Center – a platform that helps campuses quickly review the solutions available and to help build a presentation for decision makers to more easily assess and prioritize decisions faster in order to accelerate climate action. \n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Senior Advocates Generational Equity: A House Divided
DESCRIPTION:Every American is affected by the divisions and outrage that prevent us from making progress on urgent problems. We are finding it harder and harder to even talk with one another\, and it is damaging in many ways. During our June 10 forum\, we will help participants deliberate together about how we should approach this long-term challenge.\n\nWe recognize there are no easy answers to the problem. Should we require more accurate\, respectful discussion in the media and online\, or would that stifle free speech? Should we reform politics and government to encourage compromise\, or will that mean giving up on the changes we really need and want? Should local communities set policies in areas like health care and the environment\, or would that risk the progress we’ve made and make further progress nearly impossible? Should we crack down on money in politics\, or will people just find new ways to evade the rules?\n\nOur part of the solution to these divisions is to bring people together from diverse backgrounds to listen and learn from one another. During this event\, we’ll present three options for deliberation about difficult problems. Each option offers advantages as well as risks. And each reflects different ways of understanding what is at stake\, forcing us to think about what matters most to us.\n\nAt the close of the forum\, you can expect to have learned more about the pros and cons of the options from different viewpoints. We also hope that you will make personal connections with other participants and that some participants will use practices from the forum to host similar conversations.\n\nOur first online forum filled within 15 minutes\, register for our second here!
