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:The Failed Economics of Fracking in Pennsylvania
DESCRIPTION:The Delaware River Frack Ban and Climate Action Coalition is presenting its next webinar on Wednesday\, January 28\, at 7pm: “The Failed Economics of Fracking in Pennsylvania”.  Register here \nThe fracking industry and its supporters are revving up for a renewed fracked gas expansion campaign to fuel development they are promoting – data centers and LNG exports chief among the growing “needs”. They claim economic benefits despite the devastating human health and environmental impacts and failed economics that fracking has brought. \nWe need to get the truth out! Please join us to learn from two experts Elizabeth Marx\, Executive Director of the  Pennsylvania Utility Law Project (PULP)\, and Sean O’Leary\, senior researcher\, energy and petrochemicals\, at the Ohio River Valley Institute who will examine with us the truth about fracking’s impacts on our Commonwealth’s economy. \nRegistration is open now:  Register here \nFeel free to share this invitation on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/events/1381731540398309/

SUMMARY:Sustaining our Communities: The Successes of Local Government Sustainability Staff
DESCRIPTION:During this event\, local sustainability coordinators and managers will share the work they’ve led so far\, from energy efficiency and cost-saving initiatives to resilience planning and community programs\, and explain how having a full-time staff person makes these efforts possible. The conversation will focus on what has worked\, what challenges they’ve faced\, and what lessons other municipalities can apply in their own communities. \nThis webinar will show why investing in a full-time sustainability coordinator is worth advocating for. You’ll leave with concrete examples and talking points you can use to encourage your municipality to create or expand a sustainability staff position of its own. \nIf you’re interested in strengthening sustainability efforts where you live\, sign up now! \n Register now: Sign Up Here

SUMMARY:DRBC Sea Level Rise Report
DESCRIPTION:The Delaware River is the largest undammed river in the eastern United States and is tidally influenced. Generally\, sea level rise is expected to push the salt front – the location where the river is no longer considered fresh water – farther upstream than typically seen today. \nJoin Delaware River Basin Commission staff to hear about a new report evaluating how sea level rise will affect salinity in the Delaware River and detailing how far upstream salt water or salinity could reach under multiple sea level rise scenarios and flow conditions. \n Register for the webinar

SUMMARY:January Action Hour: Making Polluters Pay
DESCRIPTION:Fossil fuel companies knowingly caused climate change\, predicting decades ago and with stunning accuracy that their products would\, in their own words\, have “catastrophic” climate effects that would do “great irreversible harm.”2 Since then\, we’ve seen disasters increase in frequency and severity\, with fossil fueled fires in LA\, floods in Texas\, hurricanes like Helene devastating the Southeast\, and more. \nJust like we aren’t allowed to litter and companies are required to clean up toxic waste sites\, Big Oil and Gas must be held accountable for its climate mess. And we’ve already seen massive victories due to grassroots advocacy. Vermont and New York passed Climate Superfund laws\, and at least a dozen more states are exploring ways to shift the cost of climate damages back where it belongs — onto the corporations that knowingly caused the harm. \nEvery dollar collected from polluters is a dollar not taken from taxpayers. These funds can build flood protections\, fire-prevention systems\, cooling centers\, resilient hospitals\, energy-efficient classrooms\, and more\, creating thousands of good-paying jobs. \nEven if you can’t attend live\, please RSVP anyway — we’ll follow up with the recording and more ways to take action.
