SUMMARY:Redefining Sustainability for a Turbulent 21st Century
DESCRIPTION:John Giordanengo\, author of “Ecosystems as Models for Restoring Our Economies\,” is the featured speaker at Southern Oregon Climate Action Now’s February Monthly General Meeting. Drawing from three decades of experience and research in business\, economics\, ecology\, and conservation\, John H. Giordanengo explores the dynamic relationship between three governing components of highly complex systems — diversity\, energy\, and trade — to reveal a novel hypothesis on the structure of sustainable economies. The inspiration for his work is our economy’s sister system\, nature. Giordanengo offers a novel approach to achieving lasting conservation\, recognizing that humanity’s most serious concerns cannot be resolved by just environmental and social advocates. See more.

SUMMARY:Ashland City Council Votes on Climate Policy
DESCRIPTION:Ashland City Council will deliberate and vote on a pollution fee ordinance aimed to incentivize developers to build new homes with efficient\, electric appliances. The goal of the pollution fee is to ensure that the majority of new built homes in Ashland are built with the health of residents and the climate in mind. The ordinance is designed to improve indoor air quality and remove health risks caused by gas appliances in the home\, while contributing to Ashland’s climate goal of reducing emissions. If the ordinance is passed\, those who choose to install gas appliances in newly constructed homes will be charged an up-front fee based on the lifecycle of each gas appliance and its carbon emissions. The fee would not impact existing homes. This will be the first policy of its kind in Oregon.

SUMMARY:Climate Action and the Oregon Caves
DESCRIPTION:SOCAN’s January General Meeting: Climate Action and the Oregon Caves \nThis month’s meeting will be at the Talent Public Library\n101 Home Street\, Talent \nThe Oregon Caves are probably well-known to most Southern Oregonians as a fun day trip to visit the forest and to explore the caves underfoot. The Chateau at the Oregon Caves National Monument\, completed in 1934\, may be less well-known. However\, a designated National Historic Landmark\, it is described as a national treasure akin to the more famous chateaus at other National Parks. The Chateau is currently closed for large-scale rehabilitation\, even as cave tours continue. Reconstruction projects can be both expensive and environmentally challenging. The friends of the Oregon Caves\, who are supervising this effort\, are doing their best to ensure that the rehabilitation is as environmentally benign as possible. \nMeanwhile\, Katie Wendt\, Assistant Professor at Oregon State University\, is undertaking climate history research in the caves themselves using the stalactites and stalagmites as her research subjects. The project seeks to develop reconstructions of temperature conditions during the warm period between 130\,000 and 180\,000 years ago that preceded the Wisconsin Glaciation. Sue will also summarize this research. \nSue Densmore\, Executive Director of the Friends of Oregon Caves\, will join SOCAN on Tuesday January 28th at 6:00 pm at the Talent Public Library (note the change in venue) to discuss these efforts and what is happening at the Oregon Caves National Monument.

SUMMARY:Election 2024: What does it mean for climate action?
DESCRIPTION:Submitted by SOCAN \nElections always have consequences. This is especially the case for our potential to address\nthe climate crisis when some candidates for office accept the science of global warming and it\nclimate change consequences while others display something between skepticism and outright\nrejection of science. From the local to the national level the outcomes from the 2024 general\nelection will indicate profoundly whether meaningful action is likely. \nThe Southern Oregon Climate Action Now November General Meeting will focus on an\nexploration of what the election results mean for climate action in the near future. Special guest\nand notable climate champion State Representative Pam Marsh will offer insight regarding what\nthe election outcome means for climate action as we approach the 2025 long session.\nAdditionally\, SOCAN co-facilitator. Alan Journet will explore what the results mean for federal\naction\, Denise Krause will discuss what results mean for the Jackson County Board of\nCommissioners and SOCAN co-facilitator Kathy Conway will do likewise for regional city\nelection results. \nThe meeting is free and open to the public and will occur from 6:00 – 7:30 on Tuesday\nNovember 26 th at the Medford Public Library\, 205 S Central Ave\, Medford.

SUMMARY:SOCAN: How Climate Change is Impacting Oregon Farmers
DESCRIPTION:Southern Oregon farmers exist on the frontlines of climate change. This is because the variables of seasonal temperature and water availability are both dominant factors influencing crop viability and success and are also the primary variables influenced by global warming and its climate change consequences. \nMaud Powell\, with OSU Extension’s Southern Oregon Office in Central Points serves as Associate Professor of Practice in the Small Farms Program. SOCAN’s October monthly general meeting at the Medford Public Library on October 29 from 6:00 – 7:30 will feature a presentation by Maud that explores the impacts of climate change on farmers and ranchers in Southern Oregon\, especially related to their mental health and emotional well-being\, and an Oregon State University Initiative\, ‘Climate Stress and Grief: Building Resilience in Farmers and Ranchers’ that is addressing these concerns. Powell will also share initial findings from qualitative research conducted with Oregon farmers.

SUMMARY:SOCAN: Community Conversation at Rogue Climate
DESCRIPTION:From Southern Oregon Climate Action Now \nHelp guide where we go\, engage with like minded people\, and generate new action steps.\nLet’s talk about what matters! Our community conversation event is the perfect opportunity to discuss climate action and sustainability. \nYour voice is valuable—see you there! \nSOCAN is hosting its second Community Conversation event in lieu of our regular September monthly meeting. Due to the Medford library’s large room being under renovation this month\, we’ve chosen to partner with Rogue Climate and bring the event to their office in Phoenix. We are excited to expand the community conversation to include our partners at Rogue Climate\, and we expect a larger turn out this month because of it. This event will also coincide with the NYC Climate Week events\, running from September 22nd through the 26th. You can learn more here. \nIn keeping with the previous community conversation\, this event is focused on creating a space where voices can join in solidarity. Where the community of climate conscious individuals can work from common ground\, and enjoy imagining the possibilities of where our respective movements can help to guide our communities. We hope you’ll join us!

SUMMARY:Why We Are Beaver Believers
DESCRIPTION:Besides serving as the state animal\, and the OSU emblem\, Beavers are incredibly valuable components of our natural and managed ecosystems. This is becoming especially evident as climate change compromises water supplies across the landscape. Unfortunately\, beavers can also become a menace for some forest and agricultural operations. As a result\, they have become the subject of meaningful legislation over the last two sessions in Salem\, firstly to provide them some protection and secondly to help landowners learn how to coexist with them. \nDuring SOCCAN’s March open public meeting on Tuesday March 26th\, Jakob Shockey\, founder and Executive Director of Project Beaver will deliver a presentation on Beaver during which he will offer an introduction to the beavers\, followed by a discussion of how they build habitat resilience and water security in the face of climate change. Jakob will round out with a discussion of the challenges they face and ways folks can help. \nThe program is free and open to the public. It will run from 6:00 – 7:30 pm at the Medford Public Library\, 205 S. Central Avenue\, Medford

SUMMARY:From Local Action to Global Impact
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, Sept. 21 — From Local Action to Global Impact – Noon-1pm – Global ZoomMany of us grapple with the questions of what is ours to do and how do we make the biggest impact. We do so as we process the overwhelm and despair that emerges as we witness the unfolding climate chaos—wildfires\, hurricanes\, heat waves\, people forced to flee their homes due to disasters\, and so much more. \nThose feelings live alongside the knowledge that urgent action is needed and a soup of paralysis\, anxiety\, and dread can ensue. Join the Pachamama Alliance global community to explore the journey from concern\, dread\, and paralysis to impactful action. We’ll explore the connection between global issues and local solutions and share some examples of individuals who are on a journey to discover their role to play in the unfolding climate crisis. \nThis call is part of Resilience and Possibility in These Times\, a series of online offerings to support us all in staying connected to one another during these challenging times. \nRegister Here: https://landing.pachamama.org/call-48-impact

SUMMARY:SOCAN: What’s Happening to our Douglas firs?
DESCRIPTION:Anyone spending time in the dryer forests of Southern Oregon will have seen the splashes of orange among the healthy green backdrop. These splashes of color portend our future; they represent Douglas firs that are expiring. As the trees die\, the needles lose the healthy green chlorophyll that drives photosynthesis and produce the familiar orange splashes that increasingly dot the skyline of our hills.Extension Forester\, OSU (retired) Max Bennett has been studying this phenomenon for some years. \nBennett will provide an account of his findings and conclusions during the next Southern Oregon Climate Action Now monthly open public meeting. The program will occur on Tuesday August 29 th at 6:00 pm at the Medford Public Library. The presentation is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:SOCAN Monthly Meeting: Curb Food Waste for the Climate
DESCRIPTION:Southern Oregon Climate Action Now (SOCAN) will feature guest speakers and a discussion about what people can do to help curb food waste in Southern Oregon March 28 at 6:00 p.m. online. \nIn 2022\, the U.S. department of Agriculture stated: “Food loss and waste … exacerbates the climate crisis with its significant GHG footprint. Production\, transportation\, and handling of food generate significant carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions\, and when food ends up in landfills\, it generates methane\, [which is] an even more potent greenhouse gas.” \nA 2021 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency report concluded that “each year\, U.S. food loss and waste embodies 170 million metric tons of climate pollution– equal to the annual CO2 emissions of 42 coal-fired power plants.” This doesn’t even take landfill methane into account. \nTo learn more about food waste and what we can do to address it\, join Southern Oregon Climate Action Now (SOCAN) at their March 28th General Meeting online from 6:00 to 7:00pm. This month’s topic is “Food Waste and the Climate Crisis: What to Know & What to Do” with featured speakers Flavia Franco of Southern Oregon Food Solutions\, Jeanette Hardison of the Corvallis Sustainability Coalition\, and Ellie Cosgrove of Rogue Valley Farm 2 School. \nThere is no charge for joining the ZOOM meeting\, but participants must register at the link on the SOCAN calendar event: socan.eco/food-waste. \nIn response to the food waste problem April 10 – 16 has been designated as ‘Food Waste Prevention Week’ nationwide. In order to raise awareness and to engage with folks about solutions. Oregon’s Department of Environmental Quality is a sponsor of this campaign.

SUMMARY:Protect Peehee Mu'huh: Resisting Dirty Mining for “Clean Energy”
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to this free event with People of Red Mountain! \nAs demand for electric cars and renewable energy increases\, so has the pressure from governments and corporations to exploit Indigenous lands and waterways for lithium– a critical component in producing new batteries. \nA coalition of Indigenous groups\, tribes\, and environmental organizations are fighting to protect Thacker Pass from the largest proposed open pit lithium mine in the U.S.\, on Paiute-Shoshone land in northern Nevada. Exploratory drilling for lithium is also underway at other sites in Nevada and just over the state line in southeast Oregon. \nThis panel will show that the ongoing degradation of land\, water\, and Indigenous sovereignty is a false solution to our climate crisis. Presented by People of Red Mountain and moderated by Ka’ila Farrell-Smith. \nThis event is being offered freely to the community as part of SOU’s upcoming Climate Justice Conference. You can learn more about the conference at https://sou.edu/…/climate-justice…/conference-program/

SUMMARY:Film Screening: The Revolution Generation
DESCRIPTION:Stopping the emissions and then reversing the effects of excess greenhouse gasses is the existential crisis of our times. Massive\, transformative action is needed and must happen by the end of the decade. The Millennial Generation has grown up with the technology\, social tools\, and cooperative training to lead this fundamental change. The Revolution Generation is a kinetic\, perceptive documentary of a generation that examines why they are who they are. \nThis film is for all generations. It explores the “80-year cycle” of human history and shows the unique roll that Millennials will play as they shape the society for the rest of the century as we deal with a changing climate change\, social injustices\, geopolitical struggles\, and rapidly changing technology. \nNarrated by Michelle Rodriguez. Featuring interviews with Neil Howe\, Cici Battle\, Renaldo Pearson\, Roza Calderon\, David Burstein\, Christine Hassler\, Adam Smiley Poswalsky\, Ana Kasparian\, Tamara Draught\, Alexi Panos\, Tulsi Gabbard \nThe number of Millennials in the United States — those born between approximately 1978 and 2000 — is near 80 million people. They’re the most diverse generation in America\, with 56 percent of them registered as politically Independent … and every single one of them will be needed if the planet is to avoid climate catastrophe. In THE REVOLUTION GENERATION\, filmmakers Josh Tickell and Rebecca Tickell (whose previous films Fuel\, Pump\, and Kiss the Ground have examined oil\, capitalism\, and a regenerative way forward for the earth) spotlight a generation that has been mischaracterized\, mislabeled\, and mistakenly mocked. Through interviews and highlighting a theory by authors/generational demographists Neil Howe and William Strauss that history can be viewed as a series of 80-year cycles — and within that\, into four “seasons” that bring with them profound societal changes — the film shows the impact of the WWII Generation\, Baby Boomers\, and Gen X. But Millennials occupy a special spot: They’re creators of social tech and native digital users\, are anti-corporate crusaders\, are more empathetic that any previous group … and they now have to secure voting rights\, equality\, and the safety of the planet itself. Can they do it? A kinetic\, perceptive documentary of a generation and why they are who they are\, THE REVOLUTION GENERATION is also\, as Josh Trickell says\, “A how-to manual for saving the earth.” \nPlease join us for a screening and subsequent discussion on Wednesday\, April 27 at 6:00 PM PDT. \nRegistration required: bit.ly/SOCAN-Rev-Gen
