SUMMARY:SoCAN Monthly Meeting: Climate Justice 101
DESCRIPTION:Southern Oregon Climate Action Now invites you to join their monthly meeting with the theme: Climate Justice 101. Presentation by Virginia Camberos\, Regional Director of Rogue Valley Unite Oregon and joined by Anahi Cervantes & Jose Antonio Bucio\, Unite Oregon Climate Justice Committee. Erika Bucio will translate for the Spanish-speaking panelists \nSince time immemorial\, vulnerable communities across the globe\, including in the United States\, have suffered disproportionately from the insults resulting from the environmental degradation that inconsiderate and irresponsible behaviors impose on society. It has become increasingly obvious that no proposal designed to address the climate crisis can be effective unless it also incorporates recognition and redress to the years of inequity that have existed. We cannot successfully remedy the climate crisis if our efforts maintain or heighten the social injustice that is already evident throughout our society. \nThe May SOCAN General Meeting will be dedicated to increasing our understanding of what climate justice means and the importance of incorporating climate justice into all we do. \nThere is no charge for joining the ZOOM meeting\, but registration is required. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:SOCAN: Funding Healthy Soils in Oregon
DESCRIPTION:All gardeners and farmers want healthy soil.  One of the best ways to achieve this is through practices that improve soil organic matter.  Regrettably\, we have been degrading our soils for too long and need to adjust our behavior. Fortunately\, doing so may lead to a win-win outcome: healthy soil and crops\, and we may reduce greenhouse gases from the atmosphere – leading to a healthier planet for all life. Because we all tend to be more comfortable doing what we currently do than making a change to unknown territory\, encouraging improved techniques is not always easy and requires incentives. \nThe catch is finding funds to incentivize this change in behavior.  Because of financial resources made available through the United States Department of Agriculture Partnerships for Climate-Smart Commodities opportunity\, there may be a solution.  Oregon’s Department of Agriculture (ODA) is developing an application for funds from this pool to support farmers who want to enhance their soil health and reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. \nAt our next SOCAN Monthly General Meeting on April 26th\, Dr. Mike Badzmierowski\, Soil Health Specialist with ODA will explain the effort underway and discuss how it might work. There is no charge for joining the meeting which will run from 6:00 – 7:00 via ZOOM\, but participants must register.  Farmers interested in learning more should consider attending this program. \nPresentation by Mike Badzmierowski\, Ph.D.\, Oregon Department of Agriculture\, Soil Health Specialist \nRegistration Required: https://bit.ly/SOCAN-April

SUMMARY:SOCAN Monthly Meeting – Greenhouse Gas Emissions: The Ocean Perspective
DESCRIPTION:Presentation by Dr. Bill Gorham\, marine biologist\, Coastal SOCAN leader\, SOCAN Board of Directors member \nSince we are land-dwelling organisms\, we focus on the climate crisis as an atmospheric and terrestrial issue. If we were dolphins\, we’d have a different point of view. Besides causing warming above the ocean\, greenhouse gases also impact our oceans in many ways\, from causing warming and raising the sea level\, to acidifying the entire marine environment and compromising the survival of many ecologically and commercially important marine species. \nDr. Gorham will help us understand how narrow our airborne view of the climate crisis is by presenting the marine underwater view of this global crisis. \nSOCAN meets monthly  with speakers and movies on Topics related to climate change. \nThese meetings are free and open to the public \nRegistration Required Link

SUMMARY:SOCAN: Solar Projects You Can Plug-in To
DESCRIPTION:Southern Oregon Climate Action Now (SOCAN) and the Ashland Climate Action Project invite you to a presentation by local solar energy enthusiasts Tuesday\, October 26 from 6-7 p.m. Presenters include Jim Hartman from Ashland Solar Cooperative and Ray Sanchez-Pascador\, from Solarize Rogue. \nAccording to SOCAN\, “One of the most effective actions individuals can take to address the climate crisis is to electrify their lives as much as possible. While this is very effective\, even if our electricity is produced in a fossil fuel-powered generation facility\, it is even more effective if our electricity is generated by solar panels\, wind turbines or other fossil-free means. Unfortunately\, not everyone owns their own home\, or has a South-facing roof on which to install the panels.” \n“Ray Sanchez-Pescador with Solarize Rogue will discuss successful efforts to provide community members the opportunity to own solar panels that are not installed on their roof but generate electricity that replaces what they take from the grid that might have otherwise been generated in a fossil fuel-powered generation plant. Jim Hartmann from the ‘Ashland Solar Cooperative’ will then discuss how this group is collaborating with Solarize Rogue and planning to bring the option of community solar projects to the Ashland community.” \nThe program will be held via ZOOM and is open to the public. There is no charge for joining the meeting\, but participants must register. \nClick Here to Register  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Businesses Taking Action: SOCAN Introduces Program
DESCRIPTION:September 28th at 6:00 pm\, Southern Oregon Climate Action Now (SOCAN) will introduce their Businesses Taking Action program\, explain how it achieves its purpose\, and provide an opportunity for three recognized businesses to discuss what they are doing and why. \nThe group has coordinated a panel including OSU student Gabriela Safay who developed the program as a SOCAN Intern\, Constance Palaia from Motel del Rogue (http://moteldelrogue.com/)\, Anne Carter from the Medford Food Coop (https://medfordfood.coop/)\, and Erin Douglas from Banyan Botanicals (https://www.banyanbotanicals.com/). \nThe Zoom program is free and open to the public but attendees need to Register at https://bit.ly/Businesses-Taking-Action to receive the URL for the meeting. A video of the program will be available after the presentation on the SOCAN website. \nWhich businesses should we support? \nMany in the business community attempt to conduct their operations in line with their personal values. This can involve being responsible for environmental protection or maintaining a business climate of social justice both in terms of employees and customers. Unfortunately\, only too often\, such business behavior goes unrecognized and unappreciated. Through its ‘Businesses Taking Action’ project\, Southern Oregon Climate Action Now (SOCAN) seeks to provide businesses displaying environmental and social justice sensitivity with the recognition they deserve while also providing potential customers the opportunity to use this information when deciding which business to support.

SUMMARY:SOCAN Monthly Meeting: Preparing for Wildfire
DESCRIPTION:As the summers’ sweltering heat reminds us\, fire risk is here and now. Last year’s fires were devastating\, but the consequences of ongoing global warming tells us a repeat is almost inevitable. The message is that while we hope for the best we should prepare for the worst – a return of fire to our neighborhoods. While the fire may be probable\, we are not helpless. The July Southern Oregon Climate Action Now public general meeting will be devoted to a discussion of how we can better prepare for this future. \nJoseph Vaile and Alexi Lovechio will offer tips on how to prepare your family\, home and community for a wildfire emergency using KS Wild’s new Forest & Fire Toolkit. This toolkit is a ‘one stop shop’ for all the resources we need to acquaint ourselves with the forests of the Siskiyou region and how to prepare our home for a wildfire. Included are invaluable resources on how to harden your home and create defensible space\, funding opportunities for home defense\, post fire checklist and financial assistance\, and steps to plan and be ready for a wildfire emergency and evacuation. \nWe know that the Siskiyou region is experiencing warmer temperatures\, with longer periods of dry weather and drought. Increasing residential development into forestlands places more homes and communities at-risk from wildfire. There is no future free from wildfire\, but there are actions we can take to help prepare for the next one. This is an opportunity to learn what we can do. \nLink to Register \nThese meetings are free and open to the public
