SUMMARY:Learn about the Hidden Cost of Data Centers
DESCRIPTION:Artificial intelligence is on the rise\, and the data centers that power it are expanding rapidly across the country. These facilities are often powered by fossil fuels and enormous backup diesel generators\, which have a profound impact on our communities\, energy bills\, and climate. Join our next Action Hour on March 3\, where we will talk about the threat of the prolific growth of data centers and what we can do about them. These interactive webinars feature updates from our Sierra Club experts and take place virtually\, so you can join from anywhere and take two key actions in just one hour. \nRSVP to join us live on March 3 or to receive the recording!

SUMMARY:Radnor EAC Lecture Series 2026: Intro to Low-Waste Living with Kimberley Bezak
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Kimberley Bezak\, SHIFT co-founder.  SHIFT is a women-owned neighborhood shop in Narberth that helps local households reduce waste through refillable everyday products\, thoughtfully curated secondhand goods\, and hands-on education. \nRather than offering abstract sustainability advice\, SHIFT focuses on realistic actions that work within our region’s infrastructure: how waste is collected\, what can actually be recycled\, and where reuse makes the most sense locally. In this introductory talk\, co-founder Kimberley Bezak breaks down where household waste really comes from and which changes have the biggest impact for families in the Main Line area. \nAttendees will learn how to avoid common greenwashing traps\, make smarter purchasing decisions\, and build habits that fit real schedules and local resources. This talk is ideal for anyone curious about sustainability who wants clear\, practical guidance without guilt or perfectionism. \nPlease join us…there is no registration.

SUMMARY:Winter Sowing Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Class size is limited; Free registration; Please register below \nInterested in growing native and other pollinator-friendly perennials from seed? \nNative plant species are specifically adapted to local pollinators\, providing superior nutrition compared to non-native ornamental plants and offering a vital habitat for local wildlife. Planting in groups (pollinator patches) rather than single plants increases visibility and allows pollinators to utilize resources more efficiently. To support a diverse range of species\, it is important to ensure a mix of plants that bloom from early spring through late fall. How could you obtain that many plants? The answer is winter sowing! \nWinter sowing is an easy\, inexpensive\, and eco-friendly method to grow these plants efficiently. Seeds are sown in milk jugs during winter and left outdoors to germinate\, allowing them to adapt naturally to the local climate. Please see the flyer for more details on this workshop led by EAC member Anjana Vidyadharan who will share her experiences as a local gardener. Gay Lacy\, RML staff member and backyard gardener\, reminds us that growing seeds is not difficult when basic growing information is provided. Anjana and Gay look forward to teaching residents that eating homegrown\, wholesome food is beneficial for a healthy community! \nPlease bring a cleaned milk jug and seeds of your choice to learn how to grow hardy perennials from seed and successfully establish them in your garden. \n\n\nRegistration is required. There are 17 seats available.

SUMMARY:The Economics of Data Center & Fossil Fuel Tax Incentives: Who Really Benefits?
DESCRIPTION:Nathan Jensen is a Professor in the Department of Government at the University of Texas at Austin. His research focuses on economic development policy\, tax incentives and business-government relations. He is the co-author of Incentives to Pander\, which examines why governments often overuse subsidies and tax incentives when competing for corporate investment. \nIn this webinar\, Nathan will break down the economics and politics behind data center tax incentives\, explain why local governments frequently offer such large subsidies\, and explore whether communities actually see the promised economic benefits. Drawing on research and real-world examples – including recent data center deals – he will help you understand how incentive packages work\, why transparency matters\, and what you can do to demand accountability. \n→ Register here in HHN​
