SUMMARY:Transportation Working Group Meeting – Community Climate Action Plan
DESCRIPTION:The Climate Action Steering Committee (CASC) is working on a Community Climate Action Plan to implement the policy direction established by Council resolution in 2016. The Community Climate Action Plan goals are to establish a roadmap for the community to achieve fossil fuel use reductions of 40% by 2030 and 70% by 2050. Development of the Community Climate Action Plan calls for participation by the entire community. The goals are set\, but how we get there is still being decided. We need community members and organizations to help us figure out how to do this for Bend. \nThe CASC is convening topic-specific working groups to support the development of the Bend Community Climate Action Plan. The topics include energy supply\, energy in buildings\, waste & materials management\, and transportation. The working groups play a vital role of helping brainstorm and develop potential actions we can take as a community to meet our fossil fuel use reduction goals. \nEach working group meets twice. The first meeting will focus on understanding the objectives and barriers for the sector\, and the second meeting will focus on identifying climate actions. \nThe working group meetings for transportation are scheduled for: \nMeeting #1: Wednesday\, October 10\, 3-5 PM\, Rosie Bareis Community Campus\, 1010 NW 14th St. \nMeeting #2: Thursday\, November 15\, 4-6 PM\, Council Chambers\, City Hall\, 710 NW Wall St.

SUMMARY:Seeing Hidden Water
DESCRIPTION:Emma Marris will talk about the future of fresh water. She will cover global and local challenges as increasing populations struggle to share a finite amount of water. She’ll delve into one of the biggest challenges for those who want to talk about freshwater: much of it is hidden. Come to gain an understanding of the state of freshwater in the Deschutes and Klamath basins and around the world\, and leave with a set of concrete actions to take and new ways to visualize the Earth’s hidden water. \nThis presentation complements the exhibit\, Water Tables\, featuring works by Pat Clark on display at Bend Art Center and the COCC Library from October 5 – November 25. \nCo-hosted by The Nancy R. Chandler Visiting Scholar Program at COCC Foundation\, Bend Art Center and Coalition for the Deschutes. \nAbout Marris \nEmma Marris has written about the environment and other topics for National Geographic\, Wired\, The New York Times and Outside\, among others. In 2011\, she published her first book\, Rambunctious Garden: Saving Nature in a Post-Wild World. She was named a National Geographic Media Innovation Fellow in June 2018.
