Episode 13 - Part 1 - Water Knows No Boundaries: Realeasing Toxic Tailings Ponds Won't Either What - Webinar previously recorded via Zoom on October 4th, 2022 Join Keepers of the Water and Environmental Defence as they dive into the alarming findings of their report which mapped decades of the toxic takeover of Indigenous territories by “tailings ponds,” massive reservoirs of oilsands wastewater. Aliénor Rougeot, Climate and Energy Manager at Environmental Defence, will be joined by our host Jesse Cardinal, Executive Director of Keepers of the Water and local Kikino Métis. In part one Jesse gives opening remarks by giving background to Keepers of the water and speaks briefly about the National Day of Action for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people. Who - Jesse Cardinal is from the Kikino Métis Settlement, where she grew up. She has seen many changes to the lands and waters in her life and a drastic decline in wildlife. She loves to listen to Elders talk about how the land was, even before she was born. Jesse has been a youth worker and social worker and has grown into the roles of coordinator and director for environmental groups. Aliénor Rougeot Aliénor's interest for human and environmental rights started during her childhood in the South of France, where she became vocal on topics of biodiversity loss, women's rights, refugee rights and climate change. These interests led her to the intersectional topic of climate justice, but it was only when she moved to Canada at the age of 17 that she truly understood the need for broad and collective mobilization for climate action.

There is a popular saying in America that offers succinct insight into our culture. I think it was coined by Gen-X, but I'm not sure. What I do know is that this cliché is unique, because the only way to understand it is by hearing the speaker's tone.The expression is a reply to the American greeting, “How's it going?”, and, at face value, the response, “I'm living the dream,” sounds nice. However, as all native speakers know, this can imply that the person is elated, or absolutely miserable!Which, full circle, is the best example I can think of to illustrate the impossibly inconsistent reality of “life in America.” For some, “life's a dream,” but for others, it's an endless, devastating slog of 40+hour work weeks with little to no time off.I won't bore you with statistics, but suffice it to say it's common knowledge now that Americans, for decades, have been taking less vacations and paid-time off than other first-world countries, even the ones bosses love to stereotype as “worse than us.”Why does this matter? It matters because Americans now use, “I'm too tired from work” as an excuse for everything, even giving up on ourselves and others, and it's harming society. People are now “too tired” to be healthy, spend time with family, keep in touch with friends, and care about their community, and the result? Obesity, crime, suicide, and “low information” rates are skyrocketing “from sea to shining sea.”I started writing about the conspicuous meanings for “I'm living the dream” because it's a “binary term” that exposes our division, but I also think it's important to study because it uses sarcasm, a relatively new, but now stable aspect of American culture. Sarcasm is my favorite rhetorical device—FULL STOP. I'm deeply sarcastic, and it gets me in trouble all the time. For example, I often offend others with “wry jokes” about my son's abduction, and I recently made a sarcastic joke about an item in a stranger's grocery cart that 99% of us would get, but she didn't, and I hurt her feelings.However, the older I get, the more I see the disturbing reason for why and how people like me are so attracted to sarcasm. It's because, sometimes, it's a device we can use to deceive others when we're emotionally broken and can't handle our devastation.Like, I obviously don't find anything funny about what my ex-wife has done with our son and how it's affected him, me, my family, and even my friends, all of whom abruptly lost access to a boy we love and had been investing our hearts into.Ergo, it's probably not funny when someone is asked, “How are you?” and their impulse is to employ a sarcastic comment about The American Dream to mask the fact that they're emotionally broken from their participation in our “work culture.” Which makes sense, since some jobs are degrading and others are meaningless, and in both cases, they embitter the person to the point where they feel like they aren't valuable or valued, both of which create resentment. This is how “classism” works.But there's a third reason many Americans have a sarcastic opinion of our “work culture,” and this is why many of us feel like social order is breaking down. The other reason our working-class has resentment against the system/culture is because many Americans have jobs that are not degrading and do have meaning, but they're forced to do it so much that it bleeds into their “regular life” and this is why we now use the scariest term I've ever heard in my life: “work-life balance.” If you really think about this term, it's psychotic. It implies that we have a life, and then a “non-life” called work. That's deranged, and it ‘promotes' rage and apathy.And before you call me “pink,” I know that “work” and capitalism aren't the problem. People are resentful in socialist and communist countries too. What people resent is feeling like they're not helping the team, or that the team is taking them for granted.Here's my advice (because you shouldn't complain unless you offer a solution):Few, if any of us, can stop corporations from “doing what corporations do,” but all of us can give compassion to people with degrading or meaningless jobs, and we can also show compassion to wealthy people who were bamboozled into trading free time for money. These people might have more than others think they need, but they also suffer as they age and realize that instead of “living,” they worked all the time.The point I'm trying to make, and I think it's consistent, is that with deep, philosophical inquiry, it's possible to understand people who are not like us and whom we will never be like, and with this process comes great peace. No wise person ever said “love everyone,” let alone “like everyone.” What they say, over and over again, is “accept everything,” which includes “bad” systems and “bad” people.I love the environment and so do you! After all, the environment gives us everything we love and need, from the oxygen we breathe, to the junk food we eat, standing over the trashcan at 11pm (Just me?). That's why I think you should listen to my interview with David Auge, a prominent figure in the field of environmental management. David is on a mission to transform the humanities' approach to looking at sustainability issues. He is a Certified Sustainable Development Professional, Energy Manager, Hazardous Material Manager, a registered Professional Engineer. He's also really, really, like super-duper smart.

The 56 million gallons of radioactive waste created from decades of plutonium enrichment at Hanford are stored in 177 massive, underground tanks on 18 different ‘farms’ spread out over the 580 square miles of the nuclear reservation in Washington State. Most of the tanks are single-shelled, but 28 of them are double-shelled, which helps prevent waste from getting into the ground. Each tank holds between 55,000 and a million gallons of toxic waste.  The U.S. Department of Energy oversees the facility and is responsible for preventing the contamination of both the groundwater and the Columbia River. The DOE is also in the process of testing its multi-billion dollar vitrification plant, which is intended to bind-up the radioactive waste in glass logs to safely store it. We get a tour of the tank farm from Karthik Subramanian, who serves as Chief Operating Officer of Washington River Protection Solutions, the tank farm operations contractor. And we sit down with Brian Vance, the Department of Energy’s top manager in charge of Hanford to hear more about tank integrity, the status of the vitrification plant and the overall clean up progress.

Laureata in Giurisprudenza, ha iniziato la sua carriera occupandosi di finanziamenti green per poi approdare alle tematiche più tecniche dell'energy management certificandosi anche come Esperto in Gestione dell'Energia nel settore terziario.Siti, app, libri e link utili Intesa San Paolo Sostenibilità Federazione Italiana degli Energy Manager Organizzazioni autorizzate a rilasciare la certificazione per diventare EGE Libri da scegliere Energy managerIl lavoro di Energy Manager è previsto dalla legge per le società che superano una certa soglia di consumi. Questo lavoro consiste, in sinergia con le altre strutture della Banca, nell'individuare le modalità migliore per una riduzione progressiva dei consumi energetici e delle relative emissioni di anidride carbonica in atmosfera. Quindi, laddove possibile, cercare di favorire l'utilizzo di energia elettrica da fonte rinnovabile, ma anche mettere in campo azioni di monitoraggio e ottimizzazione energetica, per ridurre gli sprechi e i relativi costi. Oggi, ad esempio, è stato raggiunto un acquisto totale di energia elettrica da fonte rinnovabile di circa il 90%, il 100% sul perimetro Italia, e si prevede di arrivare alla Carbon Neutrality nel 2030. Le norme di riferimento prevedono anche una rendicontazione puntuale dei consumi che devono essere trasmessi ogni anno al Ministero dello Sviluppo Economico attraverso una piattaforma dedicata gestita dalla FIRE (Federazione Italiana per l'uso Razionale dell'Energia).

Raffaele Maffioli è un ingegnere elettronico con 12 anni di esperienza nelle energie rinnovabili e nell efficienza energetica. Dopo il conseguimento della Laurea presso il Politecnico di Milano ottiene un Master in Energy Management and System Technology presso l Alma Laboris Business School. È specializzato nella progettazione e nella gestione di impianti per le energie rinnovabili (fotovoltaico, eolico, biomassa, solare termico, efficienza energetica) ed è esperto in Gestione dell'Energia (EGE) secondo la norma UNI CEI 11339:2009. Dopo le esperienze in diverse società tra cui E.ON, La Mia Energia Verde, ETS Life e Progepiter srl, a inizio del 2023 approda in SENEC come Senior PV Designer. SENEC, azienda leader nella produzione di sistemi intelligenti di accumulo e nella fornitura di soluzioni a 360° per l'indipendenza energetica, si è posta come obiettivo per il 2023 quello di raddoppiare il personale: se alla fine del 2022 i dipendenti in Italia erano circa 70, l'azienda punta adesso ad arrivare a circa 140, un numero ambizioso e che si scontra con alcune difficoltà, come il fatto che alcune figure (come gli installatori) non sono facili da trovare. Una ricerca sulle prospettive occupazionali nel settore energetico condotta da Assosomm e Censis, prevede che nei prossimi 3/4 anni il mercato del fotovoltaico e dell'eolico potrebbe offrire oltre 150.000 nuovi posti di lavoro. Tra le figure più ricercate nel fotovoltaico, SENEC individua le seguenti: 1 Progettista di impianti fotovoltaici: il suo obiettivo è quello di configurare la soluzione tecnica di impianto più adatta in base alla superficie disponibile (dimensione, ombreggiamenti, inclinazione), ai consumi energetici del cliente e delle sue esigenze specifiche. 2 Installatore di impianti fotovoltaici: sono specializzati nell'installazione ed avviamento degli impianti, nella connessione alla rete elettrica e nell'eventuale manutenzione. 3 Consulenti vendite di impianti fotovoltaici: il fotovoltaico è a tutti gli effetti un investimento e, oggigiorno, ci sono diverse opzioni disponibili agli acquirenti oltre all'impianto di proprietà. Questo professionista non si deve limitare alla vendita degli impianti, ma si configura come un vero e proprio consulente in grado di guidare il cliente verso la migliore scelta d'acquisto in base alle proprie esigenze. 4 Lato "consumer", altri ruoli sono poi destinati ad assumere un'importanza sempre più strategica nel settore: Energy Manager: ha il compito di gestire tutto ciò che riguarda l'energia all'interno di un'azienda, un ente pubblico, o più in generale una struttura, verificando i consumi, ottimizzandoli e promuovendo interventi mirati all'efficienza energetica, al risparmio economico e all'uso di fonti rinnovabili. 5 Sustainability Manager: il suo compito è quello di migliorare comportamenti e processi aziendali in modo da garantire una maggiore sostenibilità del suo operato; intervenendo sulle decisioni strategiche, il suo obiettivo è quello di assicurare all'azienda che ogni suo progetto risulti il più sostenibile possibile dal punto di vista ambientale e sociale. Siti, app, libri e link utili Il sito di SENEC Italia La pagina linkedin di SENEC Italia  ALMA LABORIS Business School  Politecnico di Milano I libri da scegliere  Senior PV Designer Il progettista di impianti fotovoltaici o Senior PV Designer si occupa della progettazione tecnica dell impianto fotovoltaico. A partire dall analisi delle caratteristiche del sito di installazione (superfici a disposizione, orientamento e inclinazione, tipo di copertura, ombreggiamenti, ecc.) e delle esigenze e dei consumi elettrici del committente, il progettista identifica la tipologia di impianto più adatta (numero e tipologia di moduli, inverter ed eventuali sistemi di accumulo, configurazione delle stringhe, tipologia di strutture di fissaggio, cablaggi, eventuale cabina di trasformazione) e ne calcola il potenziale rendimento energetico ed economico. Solitamente, oltre agli aspetti meramente progettuali, il progettista si occupa anche della Direzione Lavori e delle pratiche burocratiche per la connessione e la messa in funzione dell impianto. Il ruolo prevede una formazione specializzata: oltre ad una Laurea in ingegneria (preferibilmente elettrica o elettronica), il futuro progettista di impianti di questo tipo deve avere un ottima conoscenza del settore delle rinnovabili e affiancare al titolo di studio anche dei corsi specialistici. Il mondo delle rinnovabili, più di tutti, ha registrato negli ultimi anni una crescita esponenziale, di conseguenza sono aumentate anche le opportunità di lavoro in questo campo: sono i cosiddetti green jobs. Secondo i dati raccolti nel report annuale 2022 "Renewable energy and jobs", redatto da Irena (International Renewable Energy Agency), l'occupazione nelle rinnovabili ha raggiunto nel mondo 12,7 milioni di unità: una crescita che conferma come la sostenibilità sia ormai al centro delle strategie di crescita delle imprese e che renderà indispensabile la presenza di nuovi professionisti altamente qualificati. A conferma di questo, numerose aziende del settore cercano continuamente di aumentare la propria forza lavoro.

In this episode of Smart Energy Voices, host John Failla shares a special keynote presentation from the inaugural Net Zero Forum featuring Andy Smith, Senior Manager of Global Energy Management and Sustainability at Cisco Systems. In his presentation, Andy provides a deep dive into the process Cisco recently went through to evaluate, establish and certify its net-zero goal through the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).  You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... Powering an inclusive future for all [02:22] Science Based Target initiative (SBTi) [04:50] Third-party verification of goals [07:05] Cisco's Scope 3 challenges [10:58] Real estate transformation [13:56] Carbon offset strategy [16:14] Creating new goals Cisco has a long history of setting ambitious climate and sustainability goals. Over the last couple of years, the organization realized it needed to catch up with some market trends. While the company had an aggressive, absolute greenhouse gas reduction goal and an 85% renewable electricity target, the other leaders in sustainability were setting RE100 and net-zero goals. With prior goals wrapping up, Cisco went through a year-long process to engage in the next phase of goal setting. Ultimately, the organization set a net-zero goal that covers all of its Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions to be achieved by 2040. Cisco also has aggressive near-term targets including a 90% reduction of Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2025 and a 30% reduction focused on its largest categories of Scope 3 emissions by 2030. Cisco chose to align with the SBTi Net-Zero Standard to have third-party verification of its aggressive goals. Before the company began the process in January 2021, internal stakeholders, employees, and customers were pushing for an updated goal that would include net zero. At the time, Cisco wasn't ready to set that net-zero standard. While it was reporting on a couple of categories of Scope 3, the company needed to take a step back to further understand its emissions.  Scope 3 challenges At 99% of its portfolio, Scope 3 is by far Cisco's largest source of emissions. The use of sold goods and products is about 75% of those emissions and the company's greatest challenge. Cisco sells many products and gear that plug into its customers' electric grids, releasing a lot of emissions in the end. The following 20% of Scope 3 emissions is from the company's supply chain contracts and indirect procurement. The company will focus on those two categories over the next fifteen years. Although Scope 1 and 2 are only 1% of Cisco's emissions, the company has engaged in a robust strategy to achieve its Scope 1 and 2 goals. Addressing these emissions also helps Cisco's customers and suppliers meet their goals. If they can replicate some of the things Cisco is doing, that will also help Cisco achieve its Scope 3 goal. Renewable electricity is a large part of Cisco's strategy. Clean, zero-emission power will move the company about 75% of the way towards its reduction goal for Scope 1 and 2. Cisco is focusing its efforts on renewable energy. The company has generated a few megawatts of on-site solar and hopes to triple that over the next three years.  Cisco's hybrid transformation Cisco is going through a real estate transformation. This hybrid transformation began before COVID but was accelerated after. Currently, the company has 80 million square feet of building space, but the occupancy levels of those spaces are low. Employees want to work wherever and whenever they want. Engineers love to work at home and aren't coming into the office as much as they had. In response, Cisco is modifying workspaces into collaboration centers where teams can work together. As Cisco transforms the workplace, it will see energy savings by reducing its square footage.  Some energy savings of a hybrid workplace will increase home energy usage. While that's a challenge the whole industry will need to address, companies can keep in mind that commute emissions are also being reduced. Cisco believes the hybrid transformation is a positive for the world from a climate perspective.  Resources & People Mentioned Cisco's net zero commitment Connect with Andy Smith On LinkedIn Andy has over 15 years of experience in the field of sustainability and currently leads Cisco's Global Energy Management and Sustainability team. He started working at Cisco in 2009 and has helped develop Cisco's sustainability program into what it is today by leading a number of initiatives, including developing and achieving multiple sustainability goals, managing global energy efficiency programs, deploying a global energy and sustainability information system, and creating Cisco's annual greenhouse gas inventories and Corporate Social Responsibility reports. Through these efforts, Cisco has been recognized consistently over the years as a leader in sustainability by numerous organizations, including Barron's, EPA, Association of Energy Engineers, Newsweek, CDP, Dow Jones Sustainability Index, and Sustainability Roundtable. Prior to joining Cisco, Andy worked as a consultant at Rocky Mountain Institute and DOMANI Sustainability Consulting in Colorado and served as Energy Manager for Washtenaw County Government in Michigan. Andy has a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Washington University in St. Louis, a B.A. from Oberlin College, and an MBA from the University of Colorado. He is also a Certified Energy Manager and Certified Carbon Reduction Manager from the Association of Energy Engineers. Andy and his family live in Boulder, Colorado and enjoy just about all outdoor activities, including rock climbing, hiking, biking, and skiing. They are also musicians and love to travel.

Willpower has always been an interesting phenomenon for me. Mainly because mine seems low. Most of the time. Some close to me know I can be very stubborn but when it comes to setting goals that motivate me and that have any real drive attached to them, I don't have much. While I can't say that willpower is something I have a lot of, I do have a deep appreciation for my will, and I see it as a different thing from willpower. My true will is a self-care feature of this being I inhabit. Willpower to me is most often a requirement to override my true will. The will I'm talking about serves as a monitor and manager of energy. It stays aware of the level of energy in my reservoir and it then directs the flow of that energy where I need it to go. It's a remarkable feature of being human. I have more to say about it in the Coffee Break. Thanks for listening. If you haven't subscribed yet, would you? Thanks! #will #energymanagement #creativity

Lately, I've been talking a lot about Energy Managers and energy managing on my podcast. So much so, that a number of clients and listeners have turned to Google to learn even more about energy managing, only to discover zero search results related to this topic. And that is because the concept of the Energy Manager is something that I made up, a phrase I've coined. While Energy Managers have always existed, the classification comes straight from my brain – and straight out of my own, personal experience. I'm sure Google will catch up. So, today I'm going to share my own journey in my Energy Manager recovery. How it started, how it went, how it's going, the process I've honed to guide Energy Managers to recovery – and my a-ha moment that changed everything.  My new program, Calm the F**k Down, starts soon.

In this session, LSBU's Estates team will examine LSBU's carbon reduction journey relatingto scope 1 & 2 emissions since 2010. In 2010, in consultation with HEFCE, universities were asked to agreereductions in Scope 1 & 2 carbon emissions. LSBU pledged to reduce our emissions by 34% by 2020 basedupon a 2010 baseline of 11,694 tCO2. To achieve this, LSBU has reduced both its electricity and gas consumptions to levels which enabled us to achieve this target by August 2017. This success has continued, with current level of carbon reduction being 54%. On the 27th June 2019, the UK became the first major economy in the world to pass laws to end its contribution to global warming by 2050. This will require the UK to bring all greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050. Going forward this target of zero emissions will prove very challenging as this also includes scope 3 emissions. Join us as we share our details about how we achieved our results, discuss our working partnerships with internal and external stakeholders and consider some of the challenges LSBU and other institutions facewe face as we move forward into the next phase of this ambitious but crucial target. Session leads: Chris Barnes, Maintenance and Energy Manager, Estates & Academic Environment, LSBU.

In this episode of Smart Energy Voices, host Debra Chanil discusses several innovative retro-commission projects with Robert Berninger, Director of Plant Operations, Energy and Engineering at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC). Bob oversees more than 4 million square feet of critical care facilities in the heart of New York City. Listen as he recounts his experience evaluating potential projects so you can benefit from the great insights Bob has to share. You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... Robert Berninger's role at MSKCC [02:18] Sloan's innovation award [03:28] The importance of FDD (Fault Detection & Diagnostics) [05:24] Current retro-commissioning [09:44] Cogeneration projects [11:11] Sloan Kettering's vendor vetting process [14:49] Beginning Moves to Fault Detection & Diagnostics Robert Berninger oversees approximately eleven buildings as well as the entire energy budget for the institution. Bob started at MSKCC as the Energy Manager and has worked with them for over fifteen years. In his time there, the institution has kept its energy footprint steady while also doubling in square footage. A significant factor in that achievement was Fault Detection & Diagnostics (FDD). Bob was initially leery of fault detection. He thought it would highlight issues in the building that they couldn't correct due to other issues. They began with a systematic approach, starting with the chilled water plant, heating plant, and ended with the VAV box level. With FDD, MSKCC is alerted when an issue occurs rather than waiting for a problem to be reported. This reduction in time from issue to resolution has saved energy, time, and money. Innovation Awards In 2020, MSKCC won the Smart Energy Decisions Innovation Award for Healthcare Energy Data Management for Virtual Energy Monitoring and Fault Detection and Diagnostics. The project started as a response to New York City Local Law #87, which requires all buildings over 25,000 square feet to have an energy audit and retro-commissioning every ten years. In 2018, the Breast and Imaging Center at MSKCC was due for this audit, so they engaged a vendor to create a report. MSKCC used this report to come up with several capital ECMs (energy conservation measures) that had been highlighted. One of the projects was to install a virtual energy managing and fault diagnostic system. This addition was in response to the finding that any time a system was retro-commissioned, the energy usage would gradually increase and undo the initial benefits if the system wasn't constantly monitored. With fault detection and diagnostics, MSKCC is able to find out immediately if something wasn't working correctly. This warning allows them to address issues and maintain the benefits of the original adjustments. The Positive Results of Retro-commissioning Bob defines retro-commissioning as bringing the building back to its original design intent. Recommissioning is going back and commissioning the building again if the building was commissioned in its beginning. And finally, continuous commissioning is using the tools that you have with the BMS and FDD to make sure that the building is operating at its design intent at all times. The continuous detection will provide an alert if something within the system drifts, allowing an immediate repair.  The main campus of MSKCC is using steam to hot water conversion along with cogeneration. The three buildings in the project use Con Ed steam, which is a relatively wasteful system. MSKCC is working on converting 130 air handlers using steam preheats to hot water, changing out the coils, or re-using their chilled water coils for heating using low-temperature hot water. They're also installing a total of 3.3 MW of cogeneration, which is matched to their base heating load so that there's no waste of heat. Overall the project will save the institution about $8-10 million per year in energy costs. That's an improvement anyone can support.

A growing number of U.S. cities have set aggressive clean energy and efficiency targets, but the complexity and cost of energy transition can be daunting. Philadelphia’s Energy Manager offers insights into his city’s new plan to go 100% renewable and cut energy use. --- In September, the City of Philadelphia introduced its roadmap to dramatically reduce carbon emissions and move to 100% renewable energy. Philadelphia’s plan is a step toward fulfilling its commitment to lowering its carbon footprint, and comes as cities across the United States have moved to act on climate change as the federal commitment to address global warming has withered. Adam Agalloco, Philadelphia’s Energy Manager, outlines Philadelphia’s new Municipal Energy Master Plan, the means available to cities that aim to act independently to address climate change, and the costs of doing so. Adam Agalloco is Energy Manager for the City of Philadelphia and lead planner for Philadelphia’s Municipal Energy Master Plan, the city’s roadmap to reduce carbon emissions and adopt renewable energy.

Robert Berninger (Bob) is the Director of Plant Operations, Energy, and Engineering at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. He is responsible for nearly four million square feet of facility space in New York City. He oversees managers and supervisors who support a staff total of approximately 90 employees. He was named the 2016 Energy Manager of the Year by the Association of Energy Engineers and honored as 2008 Corporate Energy Management of the year by the New York chapter of the Association of Energy Engineers. His recognitions are well deserved for the $23million dollars saved in energy for the vast amount of projects completed during the past 10-years. However, as impressive as those numbers are, I asked Bob to be a guest for a different reason. Bob encourages his staff to continue their education! For years operators were kept in the dark and were never allowed to be involved in the decision making process. Bob depends on his team to provide feedback on what they believe will or will not work. He wants everyone to understand the common efficiency goals, accountability and for all operators to have a voice. In our interview Bob discusses the top three projects he focused on to obtain the most energy savings. You’ll have to listen to the podcast to hear how he and his team did it.

Original Recording Date: July 13, 2016 Guests: Alex Chapman - Energy Manager, City of Guelph, Yvette Tendick - President of the Guelph Coalition for Active Transportation I came down to the Junction and discovered a parade! It was the "Celebration of Active Transportation" - there were bikes, wagons, and many people proudly marching on foot, winding their way through the streets of the neighbourhood in a celebratory parade. It was super fun! And I grabbed two guests to talk about it - Alex Chapman, who is the Energy Manager for the City of Guelph, and Yvette Tendick, who is the president of the Guelph Coalition for Active Transportation. This is a fantastically informative radio episode about non-vehicle transportation, and certainly made me want to get back on a bike. You can find out more about this Coalition by following the link I've posted below. This is what their website describes: Concerned about climate change and health? Tired of paying those high gas prices? Come and learn about Guelph Coalition for Active Transportation! GCAT has a vision for the city. We hope to increase the quantity, quality and safety of active transportation in Guelph. We hop to get more people, on bikes, more often! We want to make cycling in Guelph safer and more efficient. We are looking for the public’s input as to how to make this vision a reality. GCAT also wants to make Guelph more friendly to pedestrians. We would like the City of Guelph to commit to better, more inviting, walking facilities. And some better signage too, to let people know that going from one place to another on foot is certainly possible. GCAT is looking for your input! Please visit our Events page for open meeting dates and other GCAT events around the city, or drop us a line at activeguelph@gmail.com. Website http://www.gcat.ca

One of Sefton's greatest assets is its 22 miles of natural coast. A designated Special Area of Conservation, it contains rare species of animals and plants along its sand dunes and woodlands. Ashleigh Panther investigates the natural and man-made threats to this wildlife haven, as well as the efforts being made to preserve it. She talks to Dave Mercer, Senior Reserve Manager at Ainsdale Sand Dunes National Nature Reserve, who describes the management of the sand dune system, as well as flora and fauna, including the Natterjack toad. She also hears from Cath Johnston, Environment and Energy Manager at Merseyrail, about their strategies to support the local environment — and in particular about the re-development of Ainsdale Station, which will be the first 'eco station' on Merseyside. Ashleigh finally attends the 2015 Sefton Eco Champion Awards, which took place at the Ramada Hotel in Southport in July. These awards, organised by Southport Eco Centre, recognise young people from across the borough who go the extra mile to support their local environment and communities. The work being devised and executed by all of the entrants is innovative, inspiring and effective. Part of the Coastlands project: six documentaries about the Sefton coast. Created by Ashleigh Panther. Supported by Arts Council England and The Hemby Trust.
