>the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (MSPCA) and the Department of 
>Conservation and Recreation have enlisted the support of the CRC and the 
>Esplanade Association to implement the Geesepeace program, a nationally 
>recognized program that humanely resolves the conflicts between people and 
>Canada geese.  The GeesePeace model uses a three part approach, which 
>focuses on eliminating feeding of waterfowl through public education, 
>goose population stabilization through egg oiling, and herding birds from 
>low tolerance areas like ball fields.

From: billy.parish at yale.edu (Billy Parish)
Date: Mon, 1 Mar 2004 12:00:32 -0500
Subject: [Save] Climate Campaign Announcements: 2.28.04
Message-ID: <p0602040fbc691c93e798@[18.173.0.66]>

Hey Everyone:

We have state media databases, compiled climate 
campaign resources and other great 
resources/articles/events in upcoming 
announcements, but check out this short list:

1. NEW State Listserves on RiseUp (We are not using Yahoogroups anymore)
2. Internship and Evaluation Reminder
3. LOTS of Environmental Fellowships and 
Scholarships (New: Brower Youth Awards)
4. New England Climate Calendar
5. Public Debate on Wind Energy at BU

*************************************************
1.  State Listserves on RiseUp
I have added all of you - from the northeast, at 
least - to a) your state Climate Campaign 
listserve and b) this Climate Campaign announce 
listserve, both hosted by RiseUp.  The Climate 
Campaign announce listserve will go out 4-8 times 
per month (send anything you want in the 
newsletter to me), and the state listserves are 
open to posting by listserve members.

A few notes/guidelines:
-the email address of each state listserve is: 
climatecampaign-[state initials]@lists.riseup.net
-IT IS VERY EASY TO UNSUBSCRIBE.  just send an 
email to: climatecampaign-[state 
initials]-unsubscribe at lists.riseup.net.  IT IS 
ALSO EASY TO SUBSCRIBE people.  All they have to 
do is email: climatecampaign-[state 
initials]-subscribe at lists.riseup.net.
-DO NOT SPAM the state listserves.  Some of them 
have 100+ people on them, who will unsubscribe 
and stop reading them if they become too high 
density.  Assign individuals to coordinate 
collecting specific information (like votes, 
dates, attendance at events, etc.)
-Please use them to share ideas, coordinate 
events and actions, set up conference calls, etc. 
- They are a great resource!

*************************************************
2. Internship and Evaluation Reminder

Internship applications are due THIS MONDAY, 
March 1st.  If you want to apply, but can't get 
it in that quickly, please let me know.  Interns 
will work closely with a climate campaign partner 
organizer and with their state energy advocate.
The internship application and the conference evaluation are attached.

*************************************************
3. Fellowships and Scholarships

I sent some of these out before the conference, 
but for those of you who are new to the list,

From: gmoke at world.std.com (George Mokray)
Date: Sun, 7 Mar 2004 15:03:44 -0500
Subject: [Save] Three Solar Projects
Message-ID: <a05200f00bc7122686208@[69.38.146.111]>

I want to commission the building of three solar projects -

solar electric bike lights for visibility
solar/dynamo battery charger
one window solar electric system

I will provide materials necessary and will pay for some skilled and 
semi-skilled time.

Final output of the projects are working models ready for 
field-testing with circuit diagrams, parts lists and do-it-yourself 
instructions available in hard copy and digital format for general 
distribution.

The solar bike light project requires the modification of an existing 
solar LED light to recharge CR1016 and CR1032 equivalent batteries.

The solar/dynamo project requires the drawing of a circuit diagram 
for one working model, comparing it to a second, and building a third.

The one window solar electric system project requires designing and 
building a method for attaching a 2' x 2' solar panel to a 
south-facing window.  The method must allow for orienting the panel 
to  solar south.

If interested in any of these projects, please contact

TECH BIKES: MODEL FOR SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORT ON LOCAL SCALE

Abstract

 

Tech Bikes is a transportation program that provides a fleet of bicycles for
use by members of the MIT community.  It bridges the divide between mobility
and access left by MBTA buses and subway, SafeRide, Tech Shuttle, private
vehicles and simply walking.  It offers an on-demand, efficient,
health-conscious, and environmentally-safe alternative.  Campus surveys and
initial meetings with administrators have supported both the feasibility and
impact of such a program at MIT, building on small bike share programs at
Sidney-Pacific Dormitory and Pika.  The University of Rhode Island and the
University of Massachusetts at Amherst are in the early stages of
implementing campus-wide versions.  Tech Bikes plans to run a dorm-based
pilot program at East Campus in anticipation of implementation at the dorm
and select other locations. 

Tech Bikes will make MIT the first university to implement low-cost,
student-designed Intelligent Bike Racks using card reader technology and
remote access for bike share, which radically increases ease of use and
rider accountability.  Until now, only wealthy municipalities with
government support could afford such a system.  The goal of Tech Bikes is to
not only improve our own campus, but use it as a model for municipalities
and universities that have few transportation options or are in search of
low-cost and environmentally-conscious transport.  For example, the
Department of Transportation of the City of Cambridge is supporting Tech
Bikes with in-kind donations in anticipation of expanding the program to the
surrounding community.  

 

Light refreshments will be provided.

"US Transportation Energy Consumption: The Problem, and Effective 
Strategies for Progress"

Prof. John Heywood, Director, Sloan Automotive Laboratory
                      Anup Bandivadekar, Technology and Policy Program

March 18, 2004 (PLEASE NOTE THIS SEMINAR IS ON THURSDAY)
12:00-1:30 pm
E40-496

Abstract
The U.S. Transportation system is dominated by cars and light trucks 
which consume about 43% of the total U.S. petroleum use. Increasing 
dependence on foreign oil and as well as rising emissions of 
greenhouse gases from motor vehicles are two major reasons to be 
concerned about vehicle fuel consumption. The annual fuel consumption 
of our light-duty vehicle fleet in thirty years is projected to be 
more than 60 percent above today's value. It is therefore imperative 
that we understand this developing crisis, and take appropriate 
actions to address our rising petroleum consumption.

This challenge will not be resolved by any single technology or 
policy.  However, an appropriately designed combination of fiscal and 
regulatory measures can substantially increase the market demand for 
improved vehicle technologies which reduce the fuel consumption.



Please also join us April 7 for a talk co-sponsored by the LFEE 
Seminar in Environment and Sustainability series and "Practicing the 
Elusive: Integrating Sustainability and the Built Environment", a 
student-developed, interdisciplinary speaker series

"EcoStar: Advancing Sustainability at Devens"
Peter Lowitt, President of the American Planning Association 
Massachusetts Chapter

April 7, 2004
12:00-1:30 p.m.
E40-496

Peter Lowitt is a leading practitioner of eco-industrial development 
in North America.  As Director of the Devens Enterprise Commission, 
Lowitt launched an initiative to develop green buildings and a 
by-products exchange network at Devens,  a 4,400-acre former military 
base and Superfund site. As Director of
Planning and Economic development for the town of Londonderry, New 
Hampshire during the 1990s, Lowitt developed the Stoneyfield 
Londonderry Eco-Industrial Park in conjunction with private sector 
partner and initiated the Sustainable Londonderry program. Lowitt 
currently serves as president of the American
Planning Association Massachusetts Chapter, a founding board member 
of the Eco- Industrial Development Council, and editorial board 
member of the Canadian Eco- Industrial Network. Having earned degrees 
from Brown University and Tufts University, Peter Lowitt has lectured 
extensively on eco-industrial development throughout the United 
States, New Zealand, Canada, Ireland, Thailand, and Phillipines.

Peter will discuss the sustainability framework being applied at 
Devens, as well as thoughts about his career path and "practicing" 
industrial ecology in the future.

The series:
"Practicing the Elusive: Integrating Sustainability and the Built 
Environment" is a student-developed, interdisciplinary speaker series 
that is taking place during Spring 2004 at the Massachusetts 
Institute of Technology. The series explores how to use a 
sustainability framework to transform the built environment and 
society through the vision and professional innovation of today's 
practitioners. Speakers will present opportunities and challenges of 
implementing sustainability-oriented outcomes by reflecting on 
professional practice in architecture, engineering, construction, 
real estate, planning, and community development. 

Purposes: 
- Showcase pioneering approaches to achieving sustainability through 
project implementation
- Address how integrating sustainability may drive practices towards 
success in the future
- Challenge students to frame their own careers around sustainable 
practice by providing concrete examples of what this means
- Inspire entrepreneurial initiatives towards sustainability on 
campus and beyond

Light refreshments will be provided.

Dear Volunteers,

As many of you know, the Charles River Conservancy will be working
with the Department of Conservation and Recreation, the Massachusetts
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and the Esplanade
Association to implement the <http://www.geeesepeace.org>GeesePeace
program along the Charles River this spring.  We'll need volunteers
to help with every stage of the program, from identifying nesting
sites to egg oiling to helping with goose counts and park user
education later in the summer.  If you would like to participate in
nest site identification or egg oiling, you must attend a
certification and training workshop this month.  The MSPCA is hosting
two evening certification workshops:
Tuesday, March 30, from 7:00-9:00 pm. In Jamaica Plain.
Thursday, April 1, from 7:00-9:00 pm. In Sharon.

If you were certified last year, you still need to renew your
certification by attending a workshop this year.

Please contact me to sign up.  You can also contact Stephanie
Hagopian, Director of the MSPCA's Living With Wildlife program, for
more information.  Her email is shagopian at mspca.org.

Thanks!

By Peter Lowitt

April 7, 2004
12:00-1:30 p.m.
E40-496

Peter Lowitt is a leading practitioner of eco-industrial development 
in North America.  As Director of the Devens Enterprise Commission, 
Lowitt launched an initiative to develop green buildings and a 
by-products exchange network at Devens,  a 4,400-acre former military 
base and Superfund site. As Director of
Planning and Economic development for the town of Londonderry, New 
Hampshire during the 1990s, Lowitt developed the Stoneyfield 
Londonderry Eco-Industrial Park in conjunction with private sector 
partner and initiated the Sustainable Londonderry program. Lowitt 
currently serves as president of the American
Planning Association Massachusetts Chapter, a founding board member 
of the Eco- Industrial Development Council, and editorial board 
member of the Canadian Eco- Industrial Network. Having earned degrees 
from Brown University and Tufts University, Peter Lowitt has lectured 
extensively on eco-industrial development throughout the United 
States, New Zealand, Canada, Ireland, Thailand, and Phillipines.

Peter will discuss the sustainability framework being applied at 
Devens, as well as thoughts about his career path and "practicing" 
industrial ecology in the future.

The series:
"Practicing the Elusive: Integrating Sustainability and the Built 
Environment" is a student-developed, interdisciplinary speaker series 
that is taking place during Spring 2004 at the Massachusetts 
Institute of Technology. The series explores how to use a 
sustainability framework to transform the built environment and 
society through the vision and professional innovation of today's 
practitioners. Speakers will present opportunities and challenges of 
implementing sustainability-oriented outcomes by reflecting on 
professional practice in architecture, engineering, construction, 
real estate, planning, and community development. 

Purposes: 
- Showcase pioneering approaches to achieving sustainability through 
project implementation
- Address how integrating sustainability may drive practices towards 
success in the future
- Challenge students to frame their own careers around sustainable 
practice by providing concrete examples of what this means
- Inspire entrepreneurial initiatives towards sustainability on 
campus and beyond

Light refreshments will be provided.
