SUMMARY:Soil: Nature's Solution to the Climate Crisis?
DESCRIPTION:The way we grow and raise our food has a profound impact on soil health\, as well as on our own well-being. The chemical intensive form of agriculture that became common after WWII has become a major contributor to Climate Change\, and is causing massive damage in the environment. But there is hope in soil. \nWe’ll take a closer look\, and discuss how we can shift this complex system back to health. Soil is the second largest carbon sink after the oceans\, and restoring carbon back into the soil via photosynthesis has the capacity to sequester billions of tons of carbon out of the atmosphere\, buying us time to reinvent the economy. It will require an informed and engaged public to achieve that.

SUMMARY:Community Landfill Tour
DESCRIPTION:**THIS TOUR IS AT MAX CAPACITY. We’ve opened up another tour on July 2nd and there’s still room! Please register in advance! \nCome join The Environmental Center and Rethink Waste Project staff in partnership with Deschutes County Department of Solid Waste for a behind-the-scenes tour of what happens to your trash after it leaves the curb. See Knott Landfill’s trash pit\, check out Deschutes Recycling\, tour the transfer station\, and understand the composting facility. Seeing where our waste goes will impact your decisions in the future and help you think twice about purchases. \nDid you know the Knott Landfill is 110 feet deep? Have you seen the methane flare? Do you know how long it takes a head of lettuce to decompose in the landfill? \nThis is a unique opportunity; the landifll isn’t always open to the public for tours. \nNOTE: There is limited parking so we will ask for folks to carpool. We will meet at 9am at the Ponderosa Park parking lot near the intersection of SE 15h St and SE Virginia Rd to divide into cars. We will be back at the cars by noon at the latest.

SUMMARY:For the Beauty of the Earth: A Call to Care
DESCRIPTION:Kathleen Dean Moore and Rachelle McCabe weave the power of the spoken word and Rachmaninoff’s “Variations on a theme by Corelli” in a Call to Care FOR THE BEAUTY OF THE EARTH. \nFriday May 17\, 2019\n7:30-9:00 pm performance and reception following \nSaturday May 18\, 2019\n9:00 – 11:30 am conversation with presenters \nRegister: www.marcusjborg.org/earth \nKathy and Rachelle’s concern is contagious and their method of deepening our understanding is moving and richly eloquent. \nDescriptions: \n\n“In a powerfully moving performance\, a concert pianist and a creative writer weave an urgent call to action on climate disruption and mass extinction.”\n“Creative writer Kathleen Dean Moore and concert pianist Rachelle McCabe inspire audiences to defend the wild\, reeling world in a performance that weaves powerful spoken words into Rachmaninoff’s Variations on a Theme of Corelli.”\n“When words alone are not enough\, we believe in the power of the arts\, especially music\, to open peoples’ hearts to hard truths without breaking them.”\n“The truths of our time are deeply challenging – the on-rushing extinctions\, the coming storms\, and the moral necessity of safeguarding Earth’s abundance of lives.  Words alone cannot express the urgency of action.  And so we turn to music.”\n\nRachelle McCabe\, professor of music at Oregon State University\, enjoys an international career as a concert pianist and artist-teacher. She has performed as soloist and chamber musician throughout the United States\, and in Canada\, Southeast Asia\, France\, and England. She holds a doctorate from The University of Michigan\, and a master’s degree from The Juilliard School. \n Kathleen Dean Moore\, an environmental philosopher\, climate activist\, and writer\, has published a dozen books about the beautiful\, reeling world. Her early books of essays – Riverwalking\, Holdfast\, Pine Island Paradox\, Wild Comfort – celebrate the life-graced planet. Now\, her work has turned toward defending it from pillage and plunder\, with three recent books\, Great Tide Rising\, Moral Ground\, and Piano Tide\, a novel.
