Used shoes
by Guido Giuntini 14 Sep '15

14 Sep '15

The Environmental Charter School (where my kids attend) is participating in a shoe recycling program. In addition to keeping shoes out of the landfill, you are helping to raise money for the school by doing so. Last year, they raised over $500 in just 2-1/2 months! If you have any old shoes, (in any condition or size) please drop them off on the porch at 1146 N Negley Ave before Sept 30th and I'll donate them to the school. Thank you in advance for your smelling, old, broken, moldy shoes.

Three Upcoming COP21 Climate Negotiations Presentations by Mark Dixon (YERT guy)
by Mark Dixon 14 Sep '15

14 Sep '15

Dear Friends and Neighbors, Curious but confused about the big climate negotiations taking place in Paris this December? Want to know more? Let me do the heavy lifting for you! I am delighted to announce that I am giving *three* COP21 climate presentations in the Pittsburgh area during the month of September. I have tried to simplify the complexities of the climate negotiations so that you don’t have to devote weeks of your life to be well-informed. Please join me for one of these free events, and please use this as an excuse to invite friends and family into a dialogue about climate change (by bringing them!). *Tuesday, 9/22/15, 6:00 P.M. (limited seating)*“Connecting Pittsburgh to International Climate Negotiations” The Thomas Merton Center – Potluck, 5129 Penn Ave., Pittsburgh, 15224 For more information, call 412-361-3022 *Thursday, 9/24/15, 7:00 P.M. (AMPLE seating!)* “Pittsburgh to Paris: Connecting for the Climate” Church of the Redeemer, 5700 Forbes Ave., Pittsburgh, 15217 Presentation followed by a community reception w/ FREE french mini pastries. Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/1664123463806017/ *Saturday, 9/26/15, ~4:00 P.M. (limited seating & RSVP required)*Sustainability Salon on the Paris Climate Summit Private Residence in Squirrel Hill. Details & RSVP at http://marenslist.blogspot.com . Here is the informational “blurb” for all of the events… This December nations around the world will send delegates to the COP21 climate negotiations in Paris, France. This is quite possibly the most important climate-related event in all of human history, and Mark Dixon will be bringing his eyes, ears, and voice (and audio/video/photography gear) to this gathering to raise awareness about this important issue and urge responsible action by lawmakers – particularly in the Pittsburgh region. Already an accomplished environmental filmmaker (*YERT – Your Environmental Road Trip*, and *The Power of One Voice: A 50-Year Perspective on the Life of Rachel Carson*) and climate presenter, Mark Dixon further bolstered his awareness of the UN climate negotiations by formally representing Pittsburgh’s Mayor Peduto at an official UN COP21 precursor event: the World Summit Climate and Territories in Lyon, France. Based on this event and subsequent research, Mark has developed a detailed COP21 climate presentation to inform and entertain audiences with the drama and nuance around our civilization’s greatest attempt to address the climate crisis. Mark has pre-processed the complexities of the COP21 process and our collective global response so that you can be well-informed without devoting days of your life to working through all the details. We hope you can make it! More information at http://markatcop21.wordpress.com . And my crowdfunding campaign here: http://www.gofundme.com/xthcww . All the best, Mark P.S. I've attached one of many original slides I've created to synthesize all the climate data floating around out there. Take a look! --- Mark Dixon 412-204-6098 (cell) I'm working to connect Pittsburgh to international climate negotiations: https://markatcop21.wordpress.com/

by Julia Smucker 14 Sep '15

Amizade Global Service-Learning <https://amizade.org/>is still seeking Pittsburgh families to host high school students and adult mentors from Bolivia and Peru from October 2-14. The students are engaging in a Youth Ambassadors Program where they will be learning about community service, leadership, social entrepreneurship, and environmental sustainability.

Here are some key details about the program: - The hosting dates are Oct. 2-14, 2015. - Host families are asked to provide breakfast and most dinners for their guest(s). - Students/mentors will have scheduled activities for most days, but host families will get two free days (Saturday, Oct. 3 and Sunday, Oct 11) to spend with their guests. - The students and adults will speak English. The application and more detailed information about the host family role can be found at this link: https://amizade.org/yapsa/host/ If you have any questions about hosting, please contact Julia Smucker at julia.smucker(a)amizade.org or 412-586-4986.
