SUMMARY:Whys and Hows of Food Waste Reduction and Composting
DESCRIPTION:Learn why food waste matters\, how to reduce food waste\, strategies for composting\, and pros and cons of various at home compost bins\nAbout this event\nDid you know that wasted food makes up over 25% of waste at Knott Landfill by tonnage – making it the largest category of waste in the landfill? Yet\, in Deschutes County\, 1 in 8 people is food insecure\, meaning they don’t always know where their next meal will come from. \nAnd perhaps most astounding of all\, the average family of four tosses $1600 worth of food every year. We’re better than that. It’s time to rethink food waste\, and we want to help you do it. \nThis free interactive workshop will dig into why food waste matters\, how to reduce food waste in the first place\, and strategies for composting at home or in our community. Workshop will cover pros and cons of different styles of compost bins outside in our Learning Garden. Open to adults and youth\, composting beginners and pros! Attendees will be entered into a drawing for an at home composting system. \nLocated at The Environmental Center’s Learning Garden at 16 NW Kansas Ave. \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Sunriver Know Wonder: Wondering How to Rethink Plastic Waste?
DESCRIPTION:Discover actions you can take to reduce reliance on single-use plastics. \nThis is an in-person program. Masks are recommended at all in-person programs. \nDid you know that less than 9% of the plastic ever produced is recycled?

There’s a lot we can do to address our plastics problem from learning to recycle right to reducing our reliance on single-use plastics. Udara Abeysekera\, Program Manager of the Rethink Waste Project at the Environmental Center\, will share tips and resources for rethinking our relationship with plastic stuff. This interactive discussion will cover actions we can take in our homes and community to reduce\, reuse\, and recycle plastics. \nContact\nPaige M. Ferro | paigef@deschuteslibrary.org | 541-312-1063

SUMMARY:Power Hour | Homegrown Renewables: Woody Biomass
DESCRIPTION:Central Oregon can and should be a leader in the local generation of renewable energy. We have rich resources to explore here in our backyard. As the community embarks on discussions around creating an energy plan for Deschutes County and as the City of Bend explores local generation opportunities to meet renewable energy goals laid out in the Community Climate Action Plan\, now is the time for us to come together and learn about the resources that are available in our community. This series will explore homegrown opportunities to produce renewable energy.  \nWe will kick off this event by learning about Oregon’s new green tariff program and how it could help us meet local renewable energy goals\, then we’ll explore the City of Prineville’s proposed 24 MW woody biomass energy generation project and hear about resources to get biomass projects started and learn about other ways to utilize woody biomass. We have a lot to cover but don’t worry\, we will give you plenty of time for Q&A with our expert panel!  \nThese events are meant to be exploratory and not necessarily answer which sources of energy are the best for each community. Rather\, we want to see communities engage in robust dialogue about what is available so that when it comes to making energy plans\, we all have some foundational knowledge to work from. \nAgenda\n5:00 – 5:30 – In-person event: Doors open\, grab a beer/drink\, find a seat \n5:30-7:00 – Virtual and In-person event: Presentation and panel discussion \n  \nRegister for the in-person event \nRegister to attend virtually \nMeet our Speakers and Panelists\nEric Klann\, City Engineer and Public Works Director\, City of Prineville.

He works with the “Other Renewables” team\, which supports the development and installation of non-solar renewable energy projects. They provide incentives for qualified hydropower\, biopower (biogas/biomass)\, geothermal electricity\, and municipal-owned community wind power projects. \nDylan Kruse\, Vice President\, Sustainable Northwest. Dylan is responsible for state and federal legislative activity and agency engagement and represents Sustainable Northwest’s broad market and public policy priorities. He is also coordinator of the Western Juniper Alliance\, a 50-member partnership to accomplish rangeland restoration\, produce sustainable wood products\, and create jobs in juniper supply and market chains along the West Coast. In addition\, he is the organization’s bioenergy lead and works on wood biomass utilization and energy projects across the Northwest. Dylan serves on the board of the Biomass Thermal Energy Council\, holds a seat on the steering committee of the National Rural Assembly\, and sits on the Leadership Team of the Rural Voices for Conservation Coalition.
