Webinar: Credit for Going Green: Using an Expert Panel Process to Quantify the Benefits of Buffers (June 17, 2020 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/74604 74604-18851153@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, June 17, 2020 3:00pm
Location:
Organized By: Graham Sustainability Institute

Creating vegetated buffers along rivers and bays is a widely recognized strategy to protect water quality while providing other services that benefit ecosystems and communities. However, until recently there was no way to quantify the ability of restored or constructed buffers to reduce pollution, or for communities to receive credit for using buffers under regulatory permits in New England.

Through an expert panel process first modeled in Chesapeake Bay, the Credit for Going Green project team worked with experts to generate science-based recommendations to calculate the pollutant removal rate of buffers in development, redevelopment, restoration, or other land use change projects. Communities can use this information to receive pollutant removal credits for restored or constructed buffers under permits issued by stormwater permit programs. The project has provided municipal staff and boards with the information and tools to better promote buffers as a way to protect water quality, while also enhancing habitat and protecting communities from flooding. Decision makers in New Hampshire are planning to apply the expert panel process to other stormwater BMPs in 2021.

In this webinar, members of the project team will share technical findings and lessons learned that could help others apply their methods to generate science-based recommendations for other policy questions.

Engaging youth and K-12 teachers can expand the broader impact of research and advance coastal stewardship goals. But what are the best strategies for effectively reaching this unique audience and what innovative techniques are being tested?

This panel discussion webinar will feature four panelists with experience leading innovative projects that connect K-12 teachers and students with the important research and stewardship activities happening in and around National Estuarine Research Reserves. After providing a brief glimpse into their recent projects, panelists will discuss lessons learned and ideas for next steps. Sarah Nuss, an experienced reserve educator, will moderate a lively discussion about timely topics, including the partnerships and creative process that spark new projects, broader impacts observed, adaptations to support social distancing, and ideas for research about student and teacher learning.

As the 2020 election approaches, climate change will be top-of-mind for many voters. To capitalize on this opportunity, it’s imperative for climate and clean energy experts across disciplines to band together and center climate policies on people and communities beyond just the coasts — ensuring that our nation’s path forward on climate change will be effective, inclusive, equitable, and enduring.

Join the University of Michigan and Third Way, a public policy think tank based in Washington, DC, for the second annual Fastest Path to Zero Summit. This year, to protect the health of all those involved, the summit will be a virtual series. The summit will bring together leading climate advocates, philanthropists, labor leaders, elected officials, academics, and media from across the Midwest and the nation.

Tuesday, September 15: What’s at Stake
with Keynote Remarks delivered by Stacey Abrams, Former Georgia House Democratic Leader and Founder of the Southern Economic Advancement Project

Tuesday, September 22: Innovation

Tuesday, September 29: Climate, Clean Energy and Jobs

Tuesday, October 6: What does the 2020 campaign tell us about the future of climate action?

As the 2020 election approaches, climate change will be top-of-mind for many voters. To capitalize on this opportunity, it’s imperative for climate and clean energy experts across disciplines to band together and center climate policies on people and communities beyond just the coasts — ensuring that our nation’s path forward on climate change will be effective, inclusive, equitable, and enduring.

Join the University of Michigan and Third Way, a public policy think tank based in Washington, DC, for the second annual Fastest Path to Zero Summit. This year, to protect the health of all those involved, the summit will be a virtual series. The summit will bring together leading climate advocates, philanthropists, labor leaders, elected officials, academics, and media from across the Midwest and the nation.

Webinar: Dam and Sediment in the Hudson (September 24, 2020 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/77388 77388-19846076@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, September 24, 2020 3:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Graham Sustainability Institute

Hundreds of dams built on tributaries of the Hudson River estuary have outlived their usefulness. Removing these relic dams is a priority for the state of New York in order to improve aquatic habitat connectivity, restore fish spawning grounds, and reduce the risk of dam failure. To better understand how sediment released by dam removals in the Lower Hudson River watershed will affect the 240 km-long estuary, including the potential for dam-derived sediments to help build tidal wetland resilience in the face of sea level rise, the Dams and Sediment in the Hudson (DaSH) project brought together a collaborative team of scientists and stakeholders to research key questions and provide practical tools to regulators and practitioners.

In this webinar, project team members will highlight how their multidisciplinary approach - which combined field observations with analyses of sediment transport, and integrated feedback from a broad coalition of stakeholders - allowed them to answer questions about how dam removal will impact conditions in the estuary. They will share key findings about marsh accretion and introduce a tool they developed that allows engineers and regulators to estimate the amount of sediment stored behind a dam and assess preliminary impacts of sediment release following dam removal. To learn about their findings and tools visit the DasH project page.

Webinar: Decision Support for Siting of Shellfish Aquaculture within a National Estuarine Research Reserve (October 20, 2020 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/77390 77390-19846078@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, October 20, 2020 3:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Graham Sustainability Institute

North Carolina’s shellfish aquaculture industry has been small but stable for over 30 years. The southern portion of the North Carolina coast has consistently provided more than 50 percent of the wild harvest in the state, which has been driving interest in creating new oyster farms throughout the region. Simultaneously, increased interest in shellfish aquaculture has placed pressure on resource managers making siting decisions. New farms provide an opportunity to assess conditions after farm installation, making North Carolina estuaries an ideal place to explore the ecosystem services of shellfish farming. This project aimed to link small-scale changes around oyster farms with larger-scale ecosystem-level alterations, and provide local assessment of ecosystem services to be considered by decision-makers.

In this webinar, project team members will describe how two years of intensive sampling in and adjacent to oyster farms and ongoing collaboration with oyster farms and the policy community has resulted in the production of visualization tools and models that will allow resource managers, shellfish growers, and other end users to make better decisions when determining the locations and scales of shellfish farming operations. The team found that environmental impacts of these farms were minimal, but that policy decisions were more complex. This finding led to an additional project examining the extent of shellfish aquaculture within the nationwide Reserve system.

Raoul Wallenberg Lecture: Michael Kimmelman, The New York Times (November 16, 2020 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/78968 78968-20162602@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, November 16, 2020 6:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: A. Alfred Taubman College of Architecture + Urban Planning

Save the date for the Fall 2020 Raoul Wallenberg Lecture featuring Michael Kimmelman of the New York Times. Kimmelman's remarks, in conversation with Dean Jonathan Massey, will be followed by a public interview with Taubman College's Agora and Dimensions publications, exploring the role of journalists in issues of racial justice, social equity, health, and climate change in the context of the built environment.

Since he returned to New York from Europe in the fall of 2011, Michael Kimmelman has been the architecture critic of The New York Times. He has reported from more than 40 countries and twice been a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. His work focuses on urban affairs, public space, housing for the poor, infrastructure, social equality and the environment, as well as on design. A best-selling author, he has won numerous awards over the years. The magazine New York titled an article about him “The People’s Critic.” In March 2014, Mr. Kimmelman was given the Brendan Gill Prize for “insightful candor and continuous scrutiny of New York’s architectural environment,” “that is journalism at its finest."

From 2007 to 2011, Mr. Kimmelman was based in Berlin, covering Europe and the Middle East, having devised the “Abroad” column. While there, he reported on life under Hamas in Gaza, the crackdown on culture in Putin’s Russia, negritude in France and bullfighting in Spain, among other subjects. He was previously The Times’s longtime chief art critic — “the most acute American art critic of his generation,” according to the late Australian writer Robert Hughes.

A graduate of Yale and Harvard, adjunct professor at Columbia University and former Franke fellow at the Whitney Center for the Humanities at Yale, he has contributed regularly to The New York Review of Books.

The Raoul Wallenberg Lecture was initiated in 1971 by Sol King, a former classmate of Wallenberg's. An endowment was established in 1976 for an annual lecture to be offered in Raoul's honor on the theme of architecture as a humane social art.

Near Term to Net Zero: A New Approach to Setting Carbon Prices (December 2, 2020 8:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/78892 78892-20139089@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, December 2, 2020 8:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Citizens Climate Lobby

Join Citizens' Climate Lobby for a presentation on a new method for determining the carbon price needed to achieve net zero CO2 emissions.

Economists widely agree that putting a price on fossil fuels is the most effective tool for reducing carbon emissions. But what level of carbon price is needed to reduce carbon emissions fast enough to prevent catastrophic climate change?

Prof. Alexander R. Barron will present a new method he and colleagues have developed to calculate the necessary carbon price. Their work was recently published in the paper "A near-term to net zero alternative to the social cost of carbon for setting carbon prices," N. Kaufman, A. Barron, W. Krawczyk, P. Marsters and H. McJeon, Nature Climate Change. As the authors have written,

"This approach enables policymakers to use both climate science and economics to chart an effective, efficient pathway to net-zero emissions."

Dr. Barron is an Assistant Professor of Environmental Policy at Smith College. Before joining Smith, he worked in Congress to design comprehensive climate legislation (including the American Clean Energy and Security Act), and covered international climate negotiations. He also worked in the Office of Policy at the EPA, where he advised senior EPA leadership and worked on standards to reduce carbon pollution (e.g., the Clean Power Plan), cross-state air pollution, and mercury and other toxics. He also helped guide EPA’s work on environmental economics and climate adaptation.

The presentation will be followed by time for discussion.

Please register using the Eventbrite Registration link. Zoom connection instructions will be sent via email prior to the event.

Sponsored by the Ann Arbor and University of Michigan chapters of Citizens' Climate Lobby.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Graham Sustainability Institute

What a year 2020 has been! COVID-19 has reshaped how we understand and practice collaborative research, not to mention nearly every other aspect of how we live and work. By year’s end, all of us are now on a similar journey to take stock of what we have learned through these challenges.

This webinar brings together the perspectives of five funders working across North America that sponsor collaborative research on environmental topics. Earlier this fall, each of them polled their grantees about how COVID-19 has affected their active projects and asked them to make sense of the benefits and constraints of doing collaborative research virtually. In this webinar, panelists representing the organizations involved in the study will share and discuss preliminary findings and their implications for future programs. Participating funders will include: California Strategic Growth Council, NERRS Science Collaborative, NOAA’s Regional Integrated Sciences & Assessment, Lenfest Ocean Program at the Pew Charitable Trust, and the Pacific Institute for Climate Solutions.

Webinar: Collaborative Science in a Virtual World (Part 2): What Did We Learn in 2020? (January 21, 2021 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/80505 80505-20730285@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, January 21, 2021 3:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Graham Sustainability Institute

Collaborative science involves working closely with partners at every stage - from conceptualizing a new project, to conducting the research, to refining tools to best meet a management need. In May 2020, hoping to start a dialogue around virtual engagement for collaborative science, we held a webinar to reflect on the ways in which collaborative science practices have been impacted by COVID-19.

Now, as we look ahead to 2021, we’re pausing a moment to reflect on what we learned over the course of 2020 and how our practices have changed in response to the pandemic. This webinar will feature preliminary findings from a 2020 survey of collaborative research grantees, first-hand commentary on how collaborative practices have evolved, and speculation about what these lessons mean for the future of collaborative work. The discussion will build on panelists’ comments to further tease out the implications of these new practices for future collaborative science work, and how these lessons can be applied to coastal science within and beyond the NERRS.

Tools for Futurist Thinking in the Social Sector with Deloitte’s Monitor Institute (February 3, 2021 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/81412 81412-20893776@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, February 3, 2021 3:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Business+Impact at Michigan Ross

The COVID-19 pandemic has created an environment of hyper-uncertainty for social sector organizations, as the economic crisis has weakened funders and nonprofits even as the demand for their assistance is skyrocketing. Many funders and non-profits have completed their initial round of emergency response to the crisis, but they are struggling to contemplate what they should do next.
To help social sector leaders confront this challenge, the Monitor Institute by Deloitte is using the tools of scenario planning—the well-tested methodology for thinking about the future pioneered by Deloitte’s Global Business Network group—to help both funders and operating nonprofits get on their front foot in preparing for the landscape on the other side of the COVID-19 crisis. While it isn’t possible to predict the future, this session will provide funders and operating non-profits with an understanding of the tools that can help them think about the critical uncertainties of the moment, reckon with the new “certainties” emerging from the pandemic, and think about how their strategies might (or might not) fit the different possible futures that may emerge in the coming months and years ahead.

Farm Stand Student Engagement Working Group (February 4, 2021 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/81634 81634-20935514@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 4, 2021 3:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: University of Michigan Sustainable Food Program (UMSFP)

The Farm Stand is weekly pop-up market and education project that sells produce grown by students for students. The project is a collaboration between the UM Sustainable Food Program (UMSFP) and the Campus Farm. Hopefully, the Farm Stand will safely re-open in the summer of 2021. Join us as we plan educational partnerships for the Farm Stand's future.

UM Sustainable Food Program working groups serve as a creative, free-thinking space where the needs and wishes directly from students can be realized, by students. There are three “themed” working groups: Campus Farm Stand, DEI, and Campus Collaboration. These themes serve as spaces where students are able to meet and collaborate with other people from different majors, interests, and backgrounds to brainstorm about what sustainable food justice and practices should look like at the university and surrounding communities. Working Group meeting times vary by semester. The Farm Stand Working Group meets bi-weekly on Thursdays from 3-4pm. Questions? Email bfrom@umich.edu.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: School for Environment and Sustainability

Heather McTeer Toney addresses how we must embrace climate action as the social justice issue of our time, and tear down old stereotypes-so that we can build sustainable and resilient alliances to fight effectively together, and affirm our common humanity.

Heather McTeer Toney was the first African-American, first female and the youngest to serve as Mayor of Greenville, Mississippi from 2004-2012. In 2014, she was appointed by President Barack Obama as Regional Administrator for Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Southeast Region. She currently serves as the Climate Justice Liaison for the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) and Senior Advisor to Moms Clean Air Force, two affiliated organizations that represent over three million climate and environment allies committed to fighting climate change and protecting children from the dangers of air pollution.

For many, the Covid-19 pandemic has meant getting deeply reacquainted with our kitchens and  pushing the limits of home cooking creativity. David Tamarkin, Digital Director of Epicurious and author of Cook90: The 30-Day Plan for Faster, Healthier, Happier Meals, is an outspoken champion of home cooking and launched "Cooking Through It" on Epi as a response to the pandemic. Tamarkin will reflect on how food media has responded to the pandemic, share tips on how to keep home cooking fun and fresh as we soldier on, explore the intersection of home cooking and sustainability, and dish on all the hot (and not-so-hot) pandemic food trends. Hosted by Jim Leija, UMMA Deputy Director for Public Experience and Learning.  

Tamarkin joined Epicurious as its chief editor in 2015. His words and recipes have appeared in publications such as Bon Appetit, Healthyish, Gourmet, Cooking Light, Every Day with Rachael Ray, Food Network Magazine, The Guardian, Wine & Spirits, Time Out New York, and Time Out Chicago, where for many years he was the food editor. David is the creator of COOK90 and the author of COOK90: The 30-Day Plan for Faster, Healthier, Happier Meals, which the New York Times called "excellent." He's also the co-author of More Mexican Every Day and the publisher of the short-lived, experimental cooking magazine Middlewest. Find him on twitter @DavidTamarkin.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: University of Michigan Sustainable Food Program (UMSFP)

The Farm Stand is weekly pop-up market and education project that sells produce grown by students for students. The project is a collaboration between the UM Sustainable Food Program (UMSFP) and the Campus Farm. Hopefully, the Farm Stand will safely re-open in the summer of 2021. Join us as we plan educational partnerships for the Farm Stand's future.

UM Sustainable Food Program working groups serve as a creative, free-thinking space where the needs and wishes directly from students can be realized, by students. There are three “themed” working groups: Campus Farm Stand, DEI, and Campus Collaboration. These themes serve as spaces where students are able to meet and collaborate with other people from different majors, interests, and backgrounds to brainstorm about what sustainable food justice and practices should look like at the university and surrounding communities. Working Group meeting times vary by semester. The Farm Stand Working Group meets bi-weekly on Thursdays from 3-4pm. Questions? Email bfrom@umich.edu.

In this presentation, we will introduce Planet Blue Student Leaders and the role of the off-campus team project in cultivating sustainable behaviors on campus. Our project is about transforming the way we think about clothing and its role in our society. We hope that by encouraging a commitment to shopping second-hand, we can curb some of the harmful effects the fast fashion industry has on the environment as well as human rights. Our aim, while it is ultimately in the hands of our participants, is to facilitate a long-term behavior change which will change the norms and culture around clothing. We want a world in which clothing signifies self-expression, but not at the cost of a pristine environment and human dignity.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Michigan University-wide Sustainability and Environment Initiative (MUSE)

Please join us for MUSE 2021's kick-off keynote speaker, Jeremy Orr, Esq.

Jeremy Orr is a Senior Attorney for the Natural Resources Defense Council who focuses on drinking water and source water protection issues, working to ensure that everyone has access to safe, sufficient, and affordable drinking water. With a background in grassroots community organizing and public interest law, Orr most recently served as the national state program director for the Peoples Climate Movement and as an environmental justice coordinator for the Transnational Environmental Law Clinic. Orr holds a bachelor’s, master’s, and law degree from Michigan State University.

Keynote Presentation Abstract: At their core, sustainability, environmental protection, and conservation should all be rooted in policies that seek to advance environmental and public health. Yet, there are times when those policies not only fall short of those goals, but also result in disproportionate impacts on the most vulnerable populations —namely, Black, Brown, and Indigenous people. Since policies are man-made, it is critical that we as professionals in the field constantly take stock of our racial biases and how those biases manifest in our work. In my keynote, I will explore the presence of environmental injustice, racism, and implicit bias in our work and how we can prevent, remedy, and reconcile those harms moving forward.

For our keynote public event at this year's MUSE Conference, we are lucky to have Dr. Carolyn Finney in conversation with Samantha Adams. Finney will present work, followed by a discussion with Adams and audience Q&A. All are welcome to join in.

Dr. Carolyn Finney is a storyteller, author and a cultural geographer. She is deeply interested in issues related to identity, difference, creativity, and resilience. Carolyn is grounded in both artistic and intellectual ways of knowing - she pursued an acting career for eleven years, but five years of backpacking trips through Africa and Asia, and living in Nepal changed the course of her life. Motivated by these experiences, Carolyn returned to school after a 15-year absence to complete a B.A., M.A. (gender and environmental issues in Kenya and Nepal) and a Ph.D. (where she was a Fulbright and a Canon National Science Scholar Fellow). Along with public speaking, writing, media engagements, consulting & teaching, she served on the U.S. National Parks Advisory Board for eight years. Her first book, Black Faces, White Spaces: Reimagining the Relationship of African Americans to the Great Outdoors was released in 2014. Recent publications include Self-Evident: Reflections on the Invisibility of Black Bodies in Environmental Histories (BESIDE Magazine, Montreal Spring 2020), and The Perils of Being Black in Public: We are all Christian Cooper and George Floyd (The Guardian, June 3rd 2020). She is currently working on a performance piece about John Muir (The N Word: Nature Revisited) while doing a two-year residency in the Franklin Environmental Center at Middlebury College as the Environmental Studies Professor of Practice.

Samantha Adams is a Milwaukee native, freshwater enthusiast, and Doctoral Candidate in the English and Women & Gender Studies program at the University of Michigan. A budding scholar in African American Literature, Black feminisms, and Ecocriticism, she is particularly curious about relationships between Black people and bodies of water, and how those relationships are reflected in literature

We are grateful to the Department of English Language & Literature for their financial support of this event.

Webinar: Understanding the Interconnectedness of Climate Change, Salt Marsh Resilience, and Nuisance Mosquitoes (February 23, 2021 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/81568 81568-20927554@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, February 23, 2021 3:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Graham Sustainability Institute

As climate change and sea level rise alter salt marsh habitats, a less understood impact - with implications for human health - is how changes in marsh habitat affect the production and location of nuisance mosquito populations. Understanding how coastal ecosystems are being impacted by climate change, and how nuisance mosquito populations are changing, is critical to ensuring coastal managers make the most informed decisions going forward.

In this webinar, project team members will describe how data-collection, mapping, and modeling efforts have resulted in increased clarity about marsh habitat change to inform mosquito control and coastal restoration efforts in New Jersey. Future modeling and marsh‐upland edge mapping suggest that the marsh‐upland is and will be a hotspot for change, and field sampling confirmed that these “new” habitats can serve as breeding areas for mosquitoes. The team also developed environmental DNA (eDNA) assays for the most common salt marsh mosquitoes in the Middle Atlantic United States. Working closely with mosquito control agency personnel, the team has made major advancements in mosquito surveillance through the deployment of drone-based sampling of breeding pools paired with the eDNA analyses. The team also developed outreach materials to inform the public about health risks posed by mosquitoes, including how climate change might exacerbate those risks, and a module for middle/high school educators.

MUSE 2021 Keynote: Dr. Mika Kennedy (February 24, 2021 2:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/82133 82133-21036728@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, February 24, 2021 2:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Michigan University-wide Sustainability and Environment Initiative (MUSE)

Please join us for MUSE 2021's mid-week keynote speaker, Dr. Mika Kennedy.

Mika Kennedy is a Visiting Assistant Professor of English at Kalamazoo College. Her current academic book project examines narratives of Japanese American incarceration, and the ways these narratives are in conversation with questions about the environment, the seductions of the “frontier,” and Native sovereignty. She is also the co-curator of 'Exiled to Motown', a grassroots exhibit of Japanese American community in Detroit, which has an upcoming exhibition at the Detroit Historical Museum in July 2021.

Keynote Presentation Abstract: (Title: Turn to Earth: Looking for a Man Named Komako in Bad Day at Black Rock)
We live in a universe of things: How do we continue to find new value in them, even after they lose their blockbuster luster, or their original provocations are no longer new? If the act of interpretation is an act of finding use in something, this talk is about finding re-use by turning to earth--by taking the landscape of a text as vital and actively meaning-making. In its examination of Bad Day at Black Rock, it asks what a 1955 Hollywood Western actually has to say about the Japanese American body it buried, sight unseen; what the black rocks of Black Rock have borne witness to; and what that it all means for the eco-imperial state.

Facilitating Community-wide Clean Energy Improvements using PACE financing (March 2, 2021 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/82459 82459-21106109@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, March 2, 2021 11:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Graham Sustainability Institute

While clean energy improvements save utility customers money over time, some property owners find it challenging to finance the upfront costs of energy efficiency upgrades or renewable energy projects. Local governments can help building owners overcome this hurdle by creating a PACE (or Property Assessed Clean Energy) district, which allows building owners to access longer-term loans through a voluntary special assessment on their property tax bill. In this session you can learn about PACE financing from Lean & Green Michigan, a public-private partnership that serves as the statewide administrator of the PACE program for 47 local governments around the state.

Shaping Resource Flows | Buildings: A Climate Solution with Bruce King (March 12, 2021 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/82478 82478-21108091@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 12, 2021 1:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Civil and Environmental Engineering

Buildings: A Climate Solution tells the emerging story of architecture that heals the climate by storing more carbon than ever emitted: Building to cool the planet. Around the world, the theory and the practice of making “carbon smart” buildings is being developed by a rapidly expanding network of experts and innovators. Here we will explore the time value of carbon, low-carbon concrete and the new family of low-carbon building codes, and plant-based, carbon-storing materials, mapping an ambitious but practical pathway toward a built environment that has net zero operating emissions but also acts as a massive carbon sponge.

Bruce King is the author of “The New Carbon Architecture,” and has been a structural engineer for 40 years, designing buildings of every size and type all over the world. He is also author of the ASTM standard for earthen construction, the Marin County Low-Carbon Concrete code, and the books “Buildings of Earth and Straw,” “Making Better Concrete,” and “Design of Straw Bale Buildings.” Mr. King is also the Founder and Director of the Ecological Building Network (EBNet), a non-profit information resource that sponsors the BuildWell Source, an online library of low-carbon and carbon storing materials.

Panelists:

Lucca Henrion, Research Fellow, Global CO2 Initiative, University of Michigan

Lionel Lemay, Executive Vice President/Division Head, Structures and Sustainability, National Ready Mixed Concrete Association (NRMCA)

Missy Stults, Sustainability and Innovations Manager, City of Ann Arbor

TSCA @ 5 Years: Opportunities to Act with Foresight (March 16, 2021 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/82485 82485-21108121@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, March 16, 2021 7:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Michigan Lifestage Environmental Exposures and Disease Center

The University of Michigan M-LEEaD Center is co-sponsoring an event to mark the 5-year anniversary of the bipartisan legislation called the Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act. This reform law was designed to modernize U.S. industrial chemical policy to promote health, but has it lived up to its promise?

Public understanding is limited regarding how exposures to toxic chemicals affect health and how they might be regulated. Unlike pharmaceuticals, industrial and commercial chemicals are rarely tested for safety before they reach the U.S. market. The 1976 TSCA has been widely acknowledged to be a weak and ineffective law, and widespread exposures and harms continue. In the U.S., everyone is exposed to industrial and toxic chemicals, dozens and probably hundreds – well before birth. The amount of chemicals manufactured and imported continues to grow – it is trillions of pounds – and these chemicals remain largely unregulated. At the same time, we have seen an increase in chronic diseases, such as diabetes, autism, and infertility. Not everyone is equally at risk, and a higher burden of disease falls on low wealth communities and communities of color. These health disparities in exposures and health effects are illustrated and exacerbated by COVID.

The amended TSCA gave the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency new requirements and authorities. The public health impact points to the need for the U.S. EPA to fully use its new powers to evaluate all risks from hazardous chemicals and set policies which protect health and are accountable to high-risk communities. Preventive actions are urgently needed.

Helping Facilitate Rooftop Solar in Your Community (March 17, 2021 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/82899 82899-21211381@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 17, 2021 11:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Graham Sustainability Institute

The cost of solar panels has dramatically decreased over the last few years, making rooftop (or small ground-mounted) solar energy accessible to more Michiganders. But many homeowners may be unaware of this changing landscape or unsure where to start. This session will highlight a successful bulk-buy program called Solarize and a new toolkit that communities can use to bring the benefits of distributed generation to more households.

Organized By: University of Michigan Sustainable Food Program (UMSFP)

The Farm Stand is weekly pop-up market and education project that sells produce grown by students for students. The project is a collaboration between the UM Sustainable Food Program (UMSFP) and the Campus Farm. Hopefully, the Farm Stand will safely re-open in the summer of 2021. Join us as we plan educational partnerships for the Farm Stand's future.

UM Sustainable Food Program working groups serve as a creative, free-thinking space where the needs and wishes directly from students can be realized, by students. There are three “themed” working groups: Campus Farm Stand, DEI, and Campus Collaboration. These themes serve as spaces where students are able to meet and collaborate with other people from different majors, interests, and backgrounds to brainstorm about what sustainable food justice and practices should look like at the university and surrounding communities. Working Group meeting times vary by semester. The Farm Stand Working Group meets bi-weekly on Thursdays from 3-4pm. Questions? Email bfrom@umich.edu.
