SUMMARY:Greenwashing 2.0: Debunking Recycling Myths
DESCRIPTION:People often ask what really happens to their plastic recycling. Unfortunately\, it doesn’t matter where your discarded plastic is collected\, whether at the end of your driveway\, at your local recycling center\, or in a municipal recycling bin: Most plastic items collected as recycling are not actually “recycled.” Many people are now realizing that plastic is not designed to be recycled—it’s a false solution sold to us by corporations and governments. What’s more\, “plastic recycling” drives continued production and pollution of plastics and fossil fuels\, and their related injustices.

SUMMARY:Author Event: Rooted by Lyanda Haupt @ UUFCO
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, June 7th\, Lyanda Haupt will speak at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship at 7pm. To purchase tickets\, click HERE.\nDeepen your connection to the natural world with this inspiring meditation\, “a path to the place where science and spirit meet” (Robin Wall Kimmerer). Award-winning writer Lyanda Lynn Haupt’s highly personal new book is a brilliant invitation to live with the earth in both simple and profound ways—from walking barefoot in the woods and reimagining our relationship with animals and trees\, to examining the very language we use to describe and think about nature. She invokes rootedness as a way of being in concert with the wilderness—and wildness—that sustains humans and all of life. \nIn the tradition of Rachel Carson\, Elizabeth Kolbert\, and Mary Oliver\, Haupt writes with urgency and grace\, reminding us that at the crossroads of science\, nature\, and spirit we find true hope. Each chapter provides tools for bringing our unique gifts to the fore and transforming our sense of belonging within the magic and wonder of the natural world. Lyanda Lynn Haupt is a naturalist\, ecophilosopher\, and author of Mozart’s Starling\, The Urban Bestiary\, Crow Planet\, Pilgrim on the Great Bird Continent\, and Rare Encounters with Ordinary Birds. Ms. Haupt is a winner of the Washington State Book Award and the Sigurd F. Olson Nature Writing Award. \nBooks will be available for purchase at the event.

SUMMARY:Food Waste Prevention and Rescue Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Did 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. In addition\, the average family of four tosses $1\,800 worth of food every year ($150/mo on just wasted food!) and wasted food uses the same energy and water as 50 million homes. It’s time to rethink food waste\, and we want to help you do it. \nWe will start with a brief presentation on why food waste matters\, how to prevent food waste\, and strategies for composting. Afterwards\, a small group of us will walk over to the Bend Farmers Market to the High Desert Food and Farm Alliance (HDFFA) booth for an intro and demo to food rescue. If you’re interested in both\, the presentation and the demo\, be sure to select the appropriate ticket below. There are only 15 spots open for the demo\, so once it is sold out\, that option will no longer be available. Please reach out to kavi@envirocenter.org with any questions. \nREGISTER HERE

Please RSVP here to let us know if you plan to join us! \nGot a broken something? Bring it to one of our Repair Cafés! \nThe Environmental Center’s Rethink Waste Project coordinates with an amazing group of volunteer fixers to host Repair Cafés every few months. These free events connect people with broken stuff to people who like to fix stuff – they’re all about repairing things (together). Stuff like\, jewelry\, small appliances and electronics\, outdoor gear\, clothing\, and more. \nRepair Cafés are held around the world!  Repairing with other people saves natural resources\, prevents waste\, and cultivates community. The term Repair Café was established by  Martine Postma\, who coordinated the very first Repair Café in Amsterdam\, on October 18\, 2009. Learn more at www.repaircafe.org

SUMMARY:Designing a Plastic-Free Future with Regenerative Materials
DESCRIPTION:The urgency of our plastic pollution crisis requires a substantial shift in the way products are designed\, manufactured\, used\, and recirculated. From textiles and food containers to sachets and protective shipping packaging\, plastic continues to dominate across industries and persist\, polluting people and the planet at every stage of its existence. As we create a more circular economy\, what exciting bio-based feedstocks and technologies are emerging to help transition away from fossil-based inputs? Can nature-based solutions both be regenerative and scalable?
