SUMMARY:Breaking Down DRBC's Framework for Resilience
DESCRIPTION:The Delaware River Basin Commission’s Water Resources Resilience Plan (WRRP) supports management of the Basin’s shared water resources through the known and potential impacts of climate change and other challenges. \nThe WRRP has 3 phases\, each with a public input component. Phase 1 was completed in March 2026 and reflected input from partners and stakeholders to define a consensus-based framework for the plan. Phase 2 will consist of a vulnerability assessment and a gap analysis to identify and prioritize potential actions that can be taken by the DRBC and/or other regional partners to advance resilience of the Basin’s water resources. \nJoin DRBC staff to learn more about the plan’s progress and next steps! \nVisit  https://tinyurl.com/WRRP-webinar to register.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Here Comes the Sun (Clean Energy for All)
DESCRIPTION:Join the Sierra Club of Pennsylvania for Here Comes the Sun\, a webinar hosted on Zoom on Wednesday\, February 25th from 6:30-7:30pm. Read on for more information from Sierra Club about next Wednesday’s event: \nHere 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 become a barrier to renewable energy adoption since they can control local land use. Much of this resistance is fueled by misinformation which ultimately originates from fossil fuel companies and PR firms. \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\, the Sierra Club will 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 \nAre you ready to speak up for solar energy? Join us on February 25th to bring some sunshine to this long\, cold winter. \nSun\, sun\, sun… Here we come! \n

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
