As announced at the Sustainability Town Hall on March 14, the Energy Action Team (EAT) of the Corvallis Sustainability Coalition has decided to pursue a community solar project as its next undertaking in 2013.  This supports the Action Team’s goal of increasing local renewable energy production to offset fossil fuel usage.  However, there are many ways such a project could be pursued, and all require significant community interest and engagement to be successful.

EAT has developed a short survey to help guide its efforts.  If you are at all interested in supporting community solar, regardless of whether you could install such a system on your own property, please take a few moments to complete this survey.  This will be enormously helpful in developing a successful project!  And please feel free to forward this to any Corvallis residents who might be interested.

PLEASE RESPOND BY MONDAY, APRIL 15 and thanks for your participation!

The City of Corvallis is inviting Corvallis residents to join in on the Healthy Streets Planning Initiative.  “Healthy streets” are specially designed to be more environmentally friendly as well as safer for everyone.  High visibility crosswalks help reduce vehicle/pedestrian crashes.  Shared-use paths and a bike corridor make biking easier and safer.  Curb extensions with rain gardens allow storm water to be channeled away from streets and filtered naturally before entering the groundwater. These are just some of the amazing features the City is planning to add to some of the streets around Corvallis.

Why is constructing healthy streets important?  First off, storm water is a very important thing to manage.  If the facilities to mitigate water runoff are inadequate or poorly designed all kinds of problems can arise.  There can be flooding, sewer system damage, pollution in local streams, all costing thousands of dollars in repair to both the City and homeowners.  Safety is another concern.  A lot of traffic collisions are due to drivers, cyclists and pedestrians simply not seeing each other.  New high viability crosswalks would decrease this problem and allow everyone to be a little safer on their trips around town.

The City can’t find every problem by itself, and that’s why they need you!  Corvallis residents are encouraged to come share their insight on what problems there are around Corvallis.  Corvallis is your city, you should get a say in how they improve it.  You can read the minutes from the Technical Advisory Group here.  They are in charge setting the goals of the project and developing an evaluation technique for tracking the progress towards those goals.

The city will be holding four open house events at the following times and locations to answer questions and talk about the progress so far:

• Friday, March 29th, Noon to 9pm at Imagine Coffee (5460 SW Philomath Blvd.)
• Saturday, March 30th, 9am to 1pm at South Corvallis Co-op (1007 SE 3rd St.)
• Saturday, March 30th, 2pm to 7pm at Old World Deli (341 SW 2nd St.)
• Saturday April 6th, 9am to 1pm at Corvallis Senior Center (2601 NW Tyler Ave.)

Voice your opinion and join the planning initiative!. More information can be found at www.corvallisoregon.gov/healthystreets.

Northwest Earth Institute discussion courses are a popular way to engage in locally-relevant conversations about the topics of our time.  More than 130,000 people worldwide have participated in their discussion courses!

Beginning April 2, a Global Warming: Changing Course discussion group is starting in Corvallis at the Unitarian Fellowship Hall, NW Circle and 29t St.  Course materials are $15.

Designed to be self-facilitated by groups of six to 12 people, the courses help spark conversation, reflection and action leading to real change within your life and community. Participants in this four part discussion course will:

• Explore personal values and habits as they relate to climate change
• Deepen in understanding of the history and science of global warming
• Consider both individual and community level actions to curb global warming.

For more information, visit the NWEI website or contact Karen Josephson at kjoseph@spiritone.com or 541-738-2872.

The National Wildlife Federation is now accepting applications for Campus Ecology Fellowships and their new NWF Emerging Leader Fellowships.

Since 2000, National Wildlife Federation has awarded over 150 Campus Ecology Fellowships to students across the country working on projects ranging from campus-wide energy audits to implementing sustainable forestry practices; reaching more than 2.5 million students, faculty, staff and community members at the fellowship campuses. 

NWF’s Campus Ecology Fellows confront global warming on their campuses and help to educate and engage the campus community on global warming impacts and solutions. Monetary fellowship grants are awarded to undergraduate and graduate students working with other members of the faculty, staff, or administration on projects designed to help reverse global warming on campus and beyond. In addition to a modest grant, Fellows also receive project support, leadership development, recognition of their accomplishments and other perks. “The NWF Campus Ecology Fellowship gave me one of my first opportunities to take a formal leadership role in political debates about environmental issues that I was studying in school. It was a formative moment in applying my passions for research and activism in service of a lifelong dedication to the health of social and ecological justice.”
–Emma Galaas Mulaney, 2005 Campus Ecology Fellow Now in 2013, the NWF is offering an Emerging Leaders Fellowship track which will offer Fellowships to post-graduate, young professionals (ages 21-35) interested in career development and leadership opportunities within the conservation movement.  The program is an extension of NWF’s successful Campus Ecology Fellows Program.  Throughout the fellowship term, selected applicants will be provided with leadership opportunities through NWF and our state affiliates, seed funding for their entrepreneurial efforts, additional leadership and skills trainings, and a diverse support network of peers and mentors.  2013 is the inaugural year of this Fellowship program.
