Christ the King Evangelical Lutheran Church invites you to a monthly environmental education web meeting series whose theme in 2019 is environmental issues, and what you can do. In March, Robert Mace, professor of practice at U.T. – Austin, Department of Geography, will speak on water issues in Texas. Water Scarcity has been deemed one of the most significant environmental issues facing North America by the U.N.’s Global Environmental Outlook, the U.N.’s flagship environmental assessment. Professor Mace will educate on the latest research and reports on water issues in TX so that you thoroughly understand the issue. He will also explain the actions you can take to combat water scarcity & other water issues in TX. Contact Lisa Brenskelle at gcs.lrc@gmail.com with any questions about this talk.

This year’s theme is “Careers in STREAM” based on Science, Technology, Reading, Engineering, Art, and Math. The event is expected to draw over 50 sponsors and exhibitors sharing a variety of careers in both the public and private water and waste water sectors. The event will also educate the community regarding the City’s high-quality drinking water, our drinking water supply and treatment system, water conservation and efficiency initiatives, waste water treatment system, Corral the Grease Program and other sanitary sewer overflow prevention methods.

Designed for mid-level professionals, the webinar previews a new one-day onsite class exploring the little understood but compelling world of what may be the most powerful force that operates around the globe, now and for the foreseeable future: Energy and Geopolitics.

International energy markets are dynamic and entwined with foreign affairs, historically contributing to the rise and fall of international powers and alliances, business successes and failures, and often to conflict and war. Evaluating, forecasting, and positioning for financial, military, or diplomatic opportunities in the 21st Century requires an understanding of the current geopolitics of energy and the risks and vulnerabilities posed by shifts in energy markets and political pressures.

In this webinar, we will present a framework for estimating the total U.S. mortality burden attributable to indoor and outdoor PM_2.5 exposure in the primary microenvironments in which people spend most of their time. To register visit register.gotowebinar.com.

There has been a lot of talk about the complexity of social problems and the need for transformative change. ‘Collective impact’ is one framework that communities are using as they attempt to tackle these challenges. But if we take a step back, we realize that collaboration is the DNA of collective impact. In Abbotsford (BC, Canada) this idea has taken root (see blog), and the learning and experience has been codified for application in other communities.
Join us for a webinar on June 18 and speakers Bob Yates and Dena Kae Beno share how you can use these approaches to address transformative change in your community.
This topic was originally planned as a Sharing Innovation 2018 workshop, but was cancelled due to a last minute conflict.
