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

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.
