SUMMARY:Here Comes the Sun (Clean Energy for All Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:Here comes the sun… but it needs your help! \nSolar energy projects have been proposed across Pennsylvania at the utility-scale level\, meaning that they are large enough to send power to our electric grid. Unfortunately\, these promising projects are often stopped at the local level\, sometimes after planning and permitting processes have already made significant progress. Even well-intentioned local municipalities can be a barrier to renewable energy adoption since they can control local land use. Much of this resistance is driven by misinformation. \nThe good news is that you can play a role in ensuring that your neighbors know the facts and understand the benefits of bringing more clean energy to our communities! \nIn this next episode of the Clean Energy for All series\, we’ll discuss why solar energy projects are good for our communities\, how to combat misinformation and work with local governments to secure project approvals\, and highlight specific projects in the state that need your voice right now! \nYou will also hear about Sierra Club volunteers whose efforts advocating for a pending solar project had a direct impact on securing local government support. Learn more about the recent victory in Centre County from the Sierra Club Moshannon Group in this month’s issue of the Sylvanian (link pending). \nAre you ready to speak up for solar energy? Join us on February 25th to bring some sunshine to this long\, cold\, lonely winter. \nSun\, sun\, sun… Here we come! \nRegister

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:Free Native Plant and Stormwater Management Workshop (Media\, PA)
DESCRIPTION:PRC is presenting a free Native Plant and Stormwater Management workshop for residents of the Upstream Chester\, Ridley and Crum Creek Watersheds. \nLearn how simple changes to your yard can help protect local streams and reduce stormwater runoff. This free workshop will introduce the basics of stormwater management\, green infrastructure\, and non-point source pollution\, and highlight practical steps homeowners can take to better manage rainwater on their properties. We’ll also discuss the benefits of native plants and how they can help absorb runoff\, support wildlife\, and improve water quality. Participants will receive native plants to help get started at home (while supplies last). \nResidents of the upstream areas of the Chester\, Ridley\, and Crum Creek watersheds will also be eligible to sign up for a free Stream Smart House Call following the workshop. Stream Smart House Calls are free\, grant-funded educational property visits. During a House Call\, trained PRC staff will walk through your property with you\, answer questions\, and identify opportunities to better manage stormwater through practices such as rain gardens\, downspout redirects\, rain barrels\, or native plantings. Participants receive a short follow-up summary with suggestions. \nThis workshop is free\, but registration is required. \n\n“Funding for this project was awarded through the “Protect Your Drinking Water” grant program\, administered by the Pennsylvania Environmental Council with funding from Aqua\, an Essential Utilities company.”

SUMMARY:International Plastic Pellet Count Day - Volunteers Needed!
DESCRIPTION:Most plastic is made from plastic pellets — tiny beads of plastic that can spill into the environment and pollute our waterways. \nAn estimated 10 trillion plastic pellets enter the ocean every year. Wildlife can mistake plastic pellets for food and eat them.1 \nEnvironment America Research & Policy Center is helping organize the second-annual International Plastic Pellet Count on Saturday\, May 2 to search for plastic pellet pollution in our environment. Will you volunteer for the International Plastic Pellet Count on May 2 in your community? \nWe’re looking for volunteers across America to complete their own plastic pellet counts and clean-up events. All you need to do to join the International Plastic Pellet Count is visit your local waterway\, look for plastic pellet pollution\, and record what you find. \nYour plastic pellet count can take as little as 10 minutes. Spending a few minutes helping find and count plastic pellets at your local stream\, river\, lake\, wetland or ocean beach is a great way to take personal action to help put wildlife over waste. And it’s even more fun if you invite your friends and family to join you. \nSign up for the International Plastic Pellet Count on Saturday\, May 2.
