SUMMARY:350 Austin April Meeting
DESCRIPTION:From 350 Austin –\nPLEASE NOTE CHANGE IN VENUE!\nWe’ve spent the last few months at 350 Austin stepping back to consider the big picture–how to strategize\, organize\, and campaign for local progress on climate change. Now it’s time to roll up our sleeves and get to work! \nJoin us at our April meeting for more details on the steps we are taking to make Austin Energy (AE) fossil free fast. Our public utility has the potential to be a model for the rapid and just transition of electric grids towards clean renewable energy. We must demand that Austin Energy meet that challenge. \nHere is what to expect at the April meeting: \nWe’ll kick things off with an introduction to AE’s current status as well as where we want it to be. You will learn about the critical role of the Electric Utility Commission (EUC)\, and why one feasibility study is an important piece of the advocacy puzzle. \nThen we’ll split into some breakout groups\, where you’ll have an opportunity to get involved in direct advocacy at City Hall\, learn more about what City Hall and Austin Energy and you all have to do with each other\, and flex your creativity with some artful activism.

SUMMARY:Sierra Club Monthly Program: Public Horticulture In Austin
DESCRIPTION:From the Sierra Club –\nHappy Hour /food and beverages (http://www.scholzgarten.com/): 6-7 pm \nSocializing and informal discussions on current events: 6-7 pm \nAnnouncements and program begin at 7 pm \nPROGRAM: Public Horticulture in Austin\, with Cynthia Klemmer \nNature may seem intimidating or even threatening. If we are to preserve natural spaces and resources – especially in rapidly growing urban corridors – we must engage nature novices and encourage their support of natural spaces. Public horticulture offers a respite within the city\, and ‘entry level’ nature-based experiences that can resonate with a wide variety of audiences. Master planning efforts have begun for the Zilker Botanical Garden\, with opportunity for input that will help decide the future direction of this gem in the heart of Austin. \nNative Texan Cindy Klemmer is the Environmental Conservation Program Manager for Austin’s Parks & Rec Department\, managing/directing Zilker Botanical Garden/Community Gardens/Nature Preserves since September of 2016. Cindy holds a B.A. in Horticultural Sciences from Texas A&M\, a Master’s in Public Horticulture Administration with a certificate in Museum Studies from the University of Delaware\, and a Ph.D in Horticultural Sciences from Texas A&M . She has previously worked at Chicago Botanic Garden; the National Gardening Association; Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden outside Charlotte\, NC; Fairchild Tropical Botanical Garden in Coral Gables\, FL; Bok Tower Garden in Lake Wales\, FL; and the San Antonio Botanic Garden. She and her husband Mike are thrilled to be back in Texas after 25 years of touring and gardening around the country\, and are happily planning yet another garden south of Austin in Buda\, TX. \nConsider biking\, carpooling\, or taking Cap Metro (http://www.capmetro.org/planner) to the meeting. Free parking is available after 6pm on San Jacinto and nearby streets.

SUMMARY:Sierra Club Book Club - Second Nature: A Gardener's Education
DESCRIPTION:From the Sierra Club –\nWe’ll be discussing the book “Second Nature: A Gardener’s Education” by Michael Pollan. I’m 60 pages in and am impressed by his observations and his abilities as an essayist. This is Michael Pollan’s first book and he has written many others on society’s relationship with food. \nWe’ll be meeting at Zilker Park at the Rock Garden Picnic Tables\, located uphill from the Zilker Hillside Theater. \nAmazon.com describes it as…\n” A new literary classic\, Second Nature has become a manifesto not just for gardeners but for environmentalists everywhere. “As delicious a meditation on one man’s relationships with the Earth as any you are likely to come upon” (The New York Times Book Review)\, Second Nature captures the rhythms of our everyday engagement with the outdoors in all its glory and exasperation. ” \nMay’s book will be “Wild Ones” by Jon Mooallem. This book dives into people’s relationship with wild animals. The NY Times described it as a book that presents information from the front lines of wildlife conservation and blends it with a lively cultural history of animals in America….”This is not a book about wilderness; it’s a book about us.” \nIf you have a book suggestion for the book club\, mention it in the comments below and we’ll discuss them at the end of every book club meeting.

SUMMARY:Power Up! Placemaking Through Art And Renewable Energy
DESCRIPTION:From the City of Austin –\nIn this Imagine Austin Speaker Series event\, we are teaming up with the Austin Parks and Recreation Department\, Office of Sustainability\, Austin Energy\, and the Energy Institute at the University of Texas to bring in the founders of the Land Art Generator Initiative. Through their work\, our speakers – Elizabeth Monoian and Robert Ferry – develop global partnerships around projects that address issues of climate and sustainability through the lens of creativity. Their discussion will address the following: \nThe great energy transition will have an impact on our built environment\, our parks\, our culture\, and our visual landscape like no other technical shift since the automobile. By presenting examples of utility-scale renewable energy infrastructure as public art\, the Land Art Generator Initiative (LAGI) is inspiring the public about the beauty of our sustainable future and showing policy makers and city planners that distributed energy resources can be placemaking tools\, economic development drivers\, and educational venues while they help to power the grid and implement a clean energy revolution. \nRecreational spaces like Seaholm Waterfront and parkland at the former Holly Shores Power Plan have the potential to tell the stories of power generation past and present through public art. \nLearn more at austintexas.gov/imagineaustin/speakerseries \nParking at the Zach Theater is $1 per hour.\nPlease consider using alternate forms of transportation to get to this event. The Zach Theater is accessible by the 803\, 3\, 338\, and 484 bus lines. Try using the CapMetro trip planner to find a route: https://www.capmetro.org/planner/

SUMMARY:USGBC Central Texas Luncheon – WATER: NON-PARTISAN BUT TOTALLY POLITICAL
DESCRIPTION:From the US Green Building Council (USGBC) –\nJo Karr Tedder is President of Central Texas Water Coalition\, an organization she and a small group of advocates founded in 2011. The group grew from her experience on LCRA’s Water Management Plan Stakeholder Advisory Committee in 2010\, when it came to light that Highland Lakes businesses and residents were not at the table in water-use planning. \nJo Karr is a recognized authority on water issues and regularly speaks on behalf of the need for changes to how water is managed and valued. She is a native Texan\, a former educator and education administrator\, and a political consultant. After living and working on the East Coast\, she returned to Texas and has resided on Lake Buchanan since 2001. \nCTWC’s mission is to advocate for the Highland Lakes’ role as an irreplaceable natural resource that drives an important regional economic engine for the State of Texas and to bring together concerned citizens as a constituency.Partners of the coalition include lake residents\, business owners\, municipal officials\, home owner associations\, environmentalists and stakeholder organizations. \nRegister at:  http://usgbctexas.org/event-2896823 \n

SUMMARY:Resilient Nature: Discordant Harmony and the New Ecology
DESCRIPTION:From the City of Austin Development Services Department/ Nature In The City – \nThis year Dr. Kevin Anderson will take us on an exploration of “Nature and the American Mind”\, examining the complex story that threads throughout our history and shapes our beliefs\, policies\, science\, and management practices today. This 12-part (and free) lecture series continues in April with the talk\, “Resilient Nature: Discordant Harmony and the New Ecology.” \nWe now live in an age of global ecological change\, in which\, it is argued\, humans dominate the Earth so completely as to warrant declaring a new geological age\, the Anthropocene. The understanding of nature in this new age is built on ideas of “new ecology” where disequilibrium\, change\, and discordant harmony are more fundamental than integrity\, stability\, and balance\, and\, as the German ecologist Ingo Kowarik says\, “the reference point is not an original condition of a natural landscape\, but rather a condition defined based on the current site potential and the greatest possible degree of self-regulation. From this perspective\, therefore\, the natural capacity for process is the central point\, not a particular\, retrospectively determined and often idealized\, picture of nature.” \nJoin us as we explore the emergence of the concept of resilient nature and the new ecology of the Anthropocene. \nCan’t make it to the talk in person? Check out podcasts of Dr. Kevin Anderson’s presentations here. \nAdditional event details: \nOne Texas Center\, Room 325\nFree parking available. Ticket required for validation.
