SUMMARY:Delaware County Green Team Meeting
DESCRIPTION:The SC DelCo Green Team is committed to educating people about and increasing the use of clean energy\, zero waste solutions\, & sustainable policies in all DelCo municipalities. \n“The bottom line is this: climate change is not only a science issue.  It is not ‘just’ an environmental issue.  It is a health issue\, a food issue\, a water issue\, and an economic issue. It’s an issue of hunger\, and of poverty\, and of justice.  It’s a human issue.”   \nMeeting Highlights:  \n\nRound-Robin\, 1’ – Name one change–good or bad–in our natural\, social\, economic\, or psychological worlds caused or exacerbated by global warming.\n\n\nSpecial Presentation – “Ready for 100% Clean Energy”—can DelCo make it happen? By Bill Sabey\, Sierra Club Montgomery County Team.\n\n\nThe DelCo LNG Issue – How the Sierra Club Green Team can make a difference.\n\n\nTalking about climate change.\n\n\nPlanning for 2026.\n\nLink to register for the meeting: \nhttps://act.sierraclub.org/events/details?formcampaignid=701Po00001PoeY4IAJ \nAfter registering\, you will be sent an email with the full meeting agenda and Zoom link.

SUMMARY:Loving the Less Lovable: Spiders ($Pay what you wish)
DESCRIPTION:After 12+ years in pest management\, Kevin Wiener realized that most “bugs” are not pests and are very beneficial to the environment\, so he became an ambassador of arthropods and an educator to highlight insects and their ecological roles. This presentation\, filled with incredible macro-photos\, will help us learn to appreciate and maybe even love spiders! \nThis is a “Pay What You Wish” presentation with donations covering speaker fees and benefiting Penguin Court’s education & outreach programs. Thank you for considering a donation. \nThis program will be recorded and shared with registrants 7-14 days after the live presentation. \n

SUMMARY:Plants Out of Place: Communicating Effectively About Invasive Species ($ Pay what you wish)
DESCRIPTION:The past\, present\, and future of invasive plants in our ecosystems is defined by human actions and notions of stewardship. Yet\, public skepticism and mistrust towards the field of invasion biology have been heightened by pervasive criticism from within the social sciences\, humanities\, popular media\, and by extension\, the general public. \nThanks to support from the Richard King Mellon Foundation\, Dr. Mason Heberling initiated a new project at Carnegie Museum of Natural History focused on increasing public awareness of invasive plants. During this webinar\, Dr. Heberling will share outcomes and some lessons learned in connection to the changing scientific perspectives on the categorization and perceived threats of invasive plants and highlight the need for updated\, inclusive communication strategies. \nAs an added feature\, this program will highlight these strategies\, experiments\, and collaborations that led to a new museum exhibition\, Uprooted: Plants Out of Place. This exhibition integrates historical-scientific narratives through archival objects and museum specimens. It also recontextualizes the museum’s Hall of Botany of plant-centric dioramas dating from the 1920s that portray idealized plant communities devoid of—including the role of human responsibility and agency\, invasive plants as passengers\, the role of language in shaping attitudes\, and other cultural points of view. \nThis program is part of our ongoing gardening series offering a varied focus on native plants throughout the seasons for gardeners of all levels and learning styles. The 2026 “Misunderstood Natives” theme aims to explore diverse perceptions of native plants\, inviting audiences to see them through a new lens—one that offers fresh insights and practical tools for understanding the value native species bring to people\, wildlife\, and the places we live.

SUMMARY:CRCQL Chester Environmental Justice - General Meeting
DESCRIPTION:The work continues and CRCQL is gearing up for another productive and engaging year ahead. We remain focused on our mission to protect residents’ rights to clean air and a healthy environment.  Below is some information about our upcoming meetings\, 2025 recap and updates on our ongoing campaigns. \nThere will continue to be an onslaught of news this year that will shock\, disorient and disrupt us. A great way to break the negativity spiral is to get involved with local groups\, like CRCQL\, that are actively working on the ground to protect residents rights and prevent further pollution and harm in Delaware County.  Even extending a few hours of time or educating your neighbor on the issues at hand makes all the difference! \nRegister at ChesterPaEJ.org/meeting. We hope to see you at a meeting or event this year.

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

SUMMARY:Clean Air Council’s Air Monitoring Review
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to join the Clean Air Council’s Air Monitoring meeting on February 25th from 6:30-7:30pm. Click Here to Register for the Zoom Meeting \nFor the last year Clean Air Council\, in partnership with Marcus Hook Area Neighbors for Public Health\, has gathered and interpreted real-time air quality data from nearly 60 Purple Air monitors installed across South and Southwest Philadelphia and Southern Delaware County. In this meeting we will share data analysis updates with our community air monitor hosts and supporters\, and highlight how community-based observations match up with real-time data collection. \nWe will also discuss how local residents and air monitor hosts living within close proximity to industrial facilities and polluting industries can share their experiences. Reporting air quality concerns is a simple but effective way to be an advocate for cleaner air. The more specific the information we have from impacted residents the better we can identify local pollution patterns\, trends\, and sources\, as well as support ongoing advocacy. \nJoin us in our next meeting on February 25th to learn about current air pollution trends\, how to report air pollution concerns\, and how to advocate for clean and healthy air in our communities! \nSign up here to register for our meeting on Wednesday\, February 25th at 6:30pm
