SUMMARY:Sierra Club Program ONLINE: Plastic Reduction Project
DESCRIPTION:Our monthly Austin Sierra Club meeting will be online via Zoom.\n \nWe’ll start off with Announcements on current events… Tonite’s main program is the Plastic Reduction Project\, with Sean Winn.\n \nThis presentation will focus on a project to get restaurants to shift away from single-use items … including citizen-scientists to help crowd source data and become Consultants to assist restaurants in profitably going green.\n \nSean Winn is Co-Founder of the PlasticReductionProject.org\, an Austin-area 501(c)3 nonprofit seeking to reduce plastic waste in its many forms. His organization is working in conjunction with the Plastics Action Team of our local chapter’s Climate Change Committee.\n \nSean spent most of his career in Asia in the finance industry with Citibank and Standard Chartered Bank. He held a variety of roles\, but his longest stretch was as COO of a distressed investments private equity fund. Sean grew up in Franklin\, Texas\, a rural town of about 1\,000 people roughly two hours NE of Austin. “My parents still live there; there is no recycling service anywhere in the county. At some point I would like to get a project running to bring a recycling drop-off service to these sorts of recycling deserts.”\n \nSean graduated from UT with a degree in Finance in 1993\, and after retiring from his finance career returned to UT\, earning a degree in History in 2018. Before the Plastic Reduction Project took over his life\, Sean began writing and published several poems\, short stories and essays in a number of literary magazines during the Pandemic. He is also an avid tennis player.\n \nOn a side note\, Sean is looking for volunteers who would be willing to collaborate with him to create a sharp\, concise video about recycling in Austin\, what is and is not recycled\, and specifics to answer all of our questions about recycling so that it can be shared widely with our community. Interested and skilled? Contact Sean@PlasticReductionProject.org.

SUMMARY:Climate Conversation Panel
DESCRIPTION:CLIMATE CORNER February 2023: Geothermal Can Work in Texas \nGeothermal is a renewable energy source used to heat and cool buildings\, supply hot water to your house\, and create energy for the electric grid with zero CO2 going into the atmosphere.  This energy source runs 24/7/365\, is synergistic with solar and wind power generation\, and eliminates lost heat from outdoor HVAC equipment.  You will find it available directly under your feet\, anywhere on earth.   \nThis technology requires drilling deep underground and circulating water through pipes to be used in multiple applications\, from heat pumps to steam turbines creating electricity for the grid.  This installation will require the skills and technology currently used by the oil and gas industry. \nConsidering that more than half of our global CO2 is created by heating and cooling buildings and houses\, the WPNA Climate Committee believes geothermal is the linchpin answer to replacing fossil fuels in Texas and around the world\, will protect our electric grid from failure due to weather calamity\, will dramatically reduce the cost of electricity\, and create lots of jobs.  On our next Climate Conversation program we will bring you a detailed explanation of the system with panelists working in the industry. \nScheduled to appear is Geothermal Engineer Kevin Kitz from Boise\, Idaho; Dawn Johnston\, Principal Director of Clearwater Reserves of Tyler\, Texas; and Joe Batir of Southern Methodist University.   \nWatch our program live on our YouTube channel Windsor Park Climate Conversation\, Wednesday February 8 at 7pm.  You can watch the program at any time after the broadcast\, where you can find all of our previous shows available 24/7. Use this link: https://tinyurl.com/bde6yxet or go to https://www.YouTube.com and search for “windsor park climate conversation” \nIf you join us during the live broadcast you will have the opportunity to ask questions of our panel.

SUMMARY:I-35 Capital Express Central Project Public Hearing
DESCRIPTION:The virtual public hearing will be posted on Thursday\, Feb. 9\, 2023\, at 9 a.m. through Tuesday\, March 7\, 2023\, at 11:59 p.m. Please note\, this is not a live event. The materials can be viewed at your convenience.\n \nTxDOT is providing an in-person hearing option (on Feb. 9th at the Millennium Youth Entertainment Comples) for individuals who would like to participate in person instead of online. In-person attendees will be able to review the same materials and presentation as the online public hearing.\n \nThe purpose of the public hearing is to provide stakeholders an opportunity to review and provide comments on the draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and the Preferred Alternative.\n \nThe I-35 Capital Express Central project is approximately eight (8) miles in length and would include the removal of the existing I-35 decks\, lowering the roadway\, and adding two non-tolled high-occupancy vehicle managed lanes in each direction along I-35 from US 290 East to US 290 West/State Highway 71. The project will also reconstruct east-west cross-street bridges\, add pedestrian and bicycle paths\, improve transit accommodations and make additional safety and mobility improvements within the project limits.
