"Live" Virtual Screening of "The Wild"
"Live" Virtual Screening of "The Wild"
August 6, 2020 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm
"Live" Virtual Screening on Thursday, August 6th at 8pm EST “at” Coolidge Corner Theater. Join filmmaker Mark Titus and special guests for this crucial Livestream interactive event.
An urgent threat emerges to spur filmmaker Mark Titus (The Breach) back to the Alaskan wilderness—where the people of Bristol Bay and the world's largest wild salmon run face devastation if Pebble Mine, a massive gold and copper mine is constructed. By suddenly dismantling safeguards the EPA had enacted to protect the salmon, water, and people of Bristol Bay, the current political regime in the United States has unilaterally revived a mining corporation's relentless pursuit of receiving a permit in 2020 to build North America's largest open-pit copper mine—directly in the headwaters of the most prodigious wild sockeye salmon run in the world.
The Wild is a race against time. At stake is the survival of a keystone species that feeds 137 different creatures—including us—in a wild place that is the last of its kind on Earth. 46% of the world’s sockeye salmon come from the pristine waters of Bristol Bay, Alaska. If this mine is approved, the salmon run could be gone…forever.
Featuring the vibrant characters from Bristol Bay; Patagonia founder Yvon Chouinard; Seattle Chef Tom Douglas; Celebrity chef Tom Colicchio; Yupik artist Apayu'q Moore; Actor Mark Harmon; Actor and activist Adrian Grenier; and many more.
Tickets can be found online with 25% of the price going back to the non-profit coalition protecting Bristol Bay. Ticket link: https://www.evaswild.com/screenings/the-wild-aug6-coolidge

These days, our regular, Second-Tuesday-Afternoon-of-the -Month Chapter Meeting is held remotely thru Zoom . The first half hour we make time for getting set up, and socializing with each other on Zoom and maybe eating our lunches - together, but physically distanced.
Our meeting starts promptly at noon, and this month we have the privilege of hosting Frances Moore Lappé, who will explore the linkage between climate change and democracy. Her presentation will leave plenty of time for questions.
Her first book, "Diet for a Small Planet", gained world-wide attention 50 years ago. Since then she has written nearly 20 books, the most recent of which is "Daring Democracy: Igniting Power, Meaning, and Connection for the America We Want", with Adam Eichen. She is about to publish "It’s Not Too Late: Crisis, Opportunity, and the Power of Hope." She and her daughter Anna founded and lead the organization Small Planet, which is based in Cambridge.

Building Inclusive and Effective Climate Coalitions
Building Inclusive and Effective Climate Coalitions
August 12, 2020 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Deep Dive Webinar
Wednesday, August 12th | 3PM ET
REGISTER HERE https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_yhQeqlmYQvef61xSWrJECQ
The climate crisis, and the myriad policy solutions required to tackle its massively diverse impacts, are too large of issues for one organization to tackle on its own. As with the most successful organizing, passing such policies requires building coalitions and working together towards common goals.
In this webinar, we will explore how to effectively build inclusive subnational coalitions that can push for racial and climate justice through ambitious climate policy.
Joining us are the three climate advocates who have helped lead inclusive, successful climate coalitions at the state and municipal level. Shilpa Joshi, the Coalition Director for Renew Oregon, who successfully convened hundreds of progressive organizations who have rallied for strong climate action. Camila Thorndike, the co-founder of Our Climate, who spearheaded the campaign to pass the 2018 Clean Energy DC Omnibus Act. Maritza Silva-Farrell, the Executive Director of ALIGN: The Alliance for a Greater New York, who was instrumental in the passage of the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act in 2019.
All three speakers bring unique perspectives, but have one thing in common: they’ve successfully led diverse coalitions for strong climate action in their jurisdictions.

Climate Conversations
Climate Conversations
August 13, 2020 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Online - Zoom #2
Join members of the Chelmsford Climate Action Team (C-CAT) and the Massachusetts Chapter of Elders Climate Action for discussions and action to address climate change in our community.
For the August meeting, CC welcomes Diane Sherratt-Steimel. Dianne is a filmmaker and currently works at Chelmsford Telemedia (CTM). She will be showing her latest documentary, "Troubled Waters: Fighting Pollution in the Merrimack River.” Dianne came to CTM in 2015, after working in the commercial news business featuring stints at WABG, HMTV 6, and News 12 NJ – as well as a brief stint at HC Media in Haverhill. In addition to helping volunteers and community producers, Dianne produces and hosts CTM NewsBreak, a bi-weekly news brief. She runs the Parker School TV Club. Her documentary, "Troubled Waters," highlights the problems of pollution affecting the Merrimack River -- a source of water as well as recreation, and the habitat for many wildlife species.
Climate Conversations is an informal group sponsored by members of the Chelmsford Climate Action Team (C-CAT) and the Chelmsford Public Library. We meet on the second Thursday of each month in the McCarthy Meeting Room to share our concerns about Climate Change. Public invited. Meetings may include guest speakers, film screenings or book discussions to provide information and stimulate conversations on what we can do as individuals and as a community to reduce climate change and promote climate change legislation.

4 Hearings on State Solid Waste plan, 7/22 - 9/10
4 Hearings on State Solid Waste plan, 7/22 - 9/10
August 20, 2020 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
https://zoom.us/meeting/register/tJMlce-vqzwoHtJJOCcRHEoRi-fZCPjnY-PO
Re-Opened Public Comment Period: Draft 2020-2030 Solid Waste Master Plan.
MassDEP is conducting additional online public hearings to address issues including environmental justice, climate change, and the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. We cant go the hearing like we used to, but we can participate online.
There are 4 hearings between 7/22 and 9/10. Register with the links for each on below.
MassDEP issued its Draft 2020-2030 Solid Waste Master Plan for public comment and held five public hearings in Fall 2019 and received extensive comments. Input received proposed that more engagement with Environmental Justice communities would be beneficial, given the environmental burdens these communities experience. In addition, it is timely and important to consider the impacts of COVID-19 as well as climate change, on public health and the economy before finalizing the plan. In response to these comments and the changed landscape due to COVID-19, MassDEP has decided to reopen the public comment period for the Draft 2020-2030 Solid Waste Master Plan. The comment period will focus specifically, but not exclusively, on issues of environmental justice, climate change, and the impacts of COVID-19 pertaining to the management of solid waste in the Commonwealth. The public comment period will close on September 15, 2020.
During this period, MassDEP will offer four public hearings to engage with stakeholders and seek input (see dates and times listed below). Per Governor Charles D. Baker’s Order Suspending Certain Provisions of the Open Meeting Law, G.L. c. 30A, s. 20, dated March 12, 2020, these public hearings will be conducted online and via telephone. The dates and call-in information for the public hearings are as follows:
Wednesday, July 22, 2020
6:00-8:00 p.m.
