FW: Learn How to Start a Master Composter Program in Your Community!

Hi All!

 

Hope that you are having a good weekend! Please forgive duplicate emails!

 

I've signed up for the webinar on starting a Master Composter Program in Your Community on the 13th thought some of you might be interested in learning about it for your community.

 

I believe that both webinars are the same, just at different times.  Let me know if you decide to attend one; perhaps those of us who do can talk about how we might use the ideas in OK.  There is talk of having an OK state conference on large scale organics composting in 2015, so this seems like a good intro.

This Master Composter Community Education Program is a Texas program so the organizers will only be able to certify participants who take the curriculum in Texas.  However, anyone may attend one of the free, online introduction webinars to learn more about the Texas program (and explore how such a program might be adapted to our needs and capabilities here in Oklahoma).

 

There have been Master Composter programs in Oklahoma in the past, but I don't believe any are active at this time.

 

The free webinars are on May 13 & June 3 (more info below).

Learn How to Start a Backyard Composting Program in Your Community!

 

What is Master Composter? 
Master Composter is a community-based program of citizen education and volunteer development to promote cost-effective and environmentally responsible yard-care practices, with backyard composting as its main focus. The
State of Texas Alliance for Recycling (STAR) now serves as the statewide administrator for this program, and we provide training opportunities, curriculum, resources, and technical assistance to communities wanting to host Master Composter trainings in their area. 

 

Why compost?
The benefits from Master Composter spread beyond each person's yard. Composting decreases the amount of organic material we send to local landfills, and compost application minimizes urban runoff, decreases soil erosion, and helps conserve water - all while feeding your garden or lawn with nutrient-rich material!

 

Here's how to start composting in your community! 
STAR is partnering with Keep Texas Beautiful (KTB) to provide introductory webinars and a community coordinator orientation over the next two months. A free, one-hour "Introduction to the Master Composter Program" webinar will be offered on both May 13th and June 3rd at 11 a.m. (this is the same webinar but we're offering two dates to make scheduling easier). Register now for the
May 13th webinar using this link and for the June 3rd webinar using this link.

STAR is also hosting a Local Community Coordinator Orientation at the KTB Annual Conference on Sunday, June 22nd from 12:30-5:30 p.m. in the Bosque Room at the Renaissance Hotel in Austin. The cost for the workshop is $20 and will cover workshop materials and light snacks. Prior attendance on one of the introductory webinars is required, and the registration link for the orientation will be sent out to webinar attendees after each session. This orientation will give municipalities, KTB affiliates, and other nonprofit groups the tools they will need to start hosting Master Composter trainings in their community!

For questions about the webinars, the orientation, or the Master Composter program, please contact Sara Nichols at STAR. We look forward to getting Master Composter in as many communities across Texas as we can!

EPA Releases EnviroAtlas Ecosystem Mapping Tool -  http://enviroatlas.epa.gov/enviroatlas/ - The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) today released EnviroAtlas, a web-based interactive tool that integrates over 300 separate data layers, helps decision makers understand the implications of planning and policy decisions on our fragile ecosystems and the communities who depend on goods and services from these ecosystems. EnviroAtlas is designed for people from all levels of government, professionals, researchers, educators, non-governmental organizations, and anyone interested in considering the benefits or impacts of a decision, such as siting a new road or city park.

EnviroAtlas can help people learn about ecosystems, and how they provide us with benefits such as clean air and water; opportunities for recreation; and protection from severe weather, such as hurricanes and floods. EnviroAtlas also highlights how ecosystems provide habitats for plants, fish, and wildlife as well as the materials people need to produce food, clothing, shelter, and pharmaceuticals, and provides maps on all of these topics.

EnviroAtlas integrates geospatial data from a variety of sources to allow users to visualize and analyze how decisions impact ecosystems and their ability to provide goods and services. Communities are often faced with difficult decisions, such as trade-offs between transportation, residential or commercial development and maintaining local wetlands, urban greenspaces, or urban forests. EnviroAtlas helps communities better understand the potential benefits and drawbacks of their decisions by providing data, maps, information and tools to analyze relationships between nature, health and well-being, and the economy.

EnviroAtlas combines hundreds of data layers developed through collaboration between EPA; US Geological Survey; US Forest Service; other federal, state, and non-profit organizations; and several universities. Using powerful web application tools, it lets users generate customized maps and images that show the condition of their local community’s air, water, and landscape; as well as population density and other demographic data. Users can investigate land cover patterns, see how ecosystem services reduce pollution, and view closer to true scale data to compare them across selected communities.

EnviroAtlas is available to anybody with access to a computer and an internet connection. No special software is needed. It is currently not optimized for smartphone or tablet use, but a mobile-friendly version is planned for the future. Using tools like EnviroAtlas to make informed decisions will help ensure that people can continue to enjoy economic, social, and environmental benefits of ecosystems now and in the future.

New Short Film Shares Western Communities’ Lessons Learned on Preparing for Boom and Bust Cycles

Energy development is booming in the West, bringing new jobs and economic growth.  However, many communities that have seen energy booms in the past have found that those booms eventually end, leaving local and regional leaders to deal with economic, fiscal, social, and environmental challenges.  “Preparing for the Boom,” a new 20-minute film from the Sonoran Institute and Future West, shares lessons learned from communities that have experienced energy-related growth and decline in the voices of local elected officials and other local and regional leaders from places like Bakken, MT; Saratoga, WY; and Garfield County, CO.  The film highlights successes, missed opportunities, and recommendations in order to help today’s energy communities learn from the experiences of others so they can chart a more promising course through energy booms and beyond.  Click here to watch “Preparing for the Boom.”

Rural counties lead growth in U.S. natural gas production - From 2000 to 2011, onshore gross withdrawals of natural gas in the lower 48 States increased by about 47 percent, reaching historic highs in every year after 2006. The most rural of counties—those that are outside the commuting area of a metropolitan area and lack a core urban area of at least 10,000 people, so called “nonmetro noncore”—accounted for nearly half of the growth in gas production. This growth is driven by nonmetro noncore gas-producing areas in the country’s midsection. Several metropolitan areas, notably the Fort Worth area in Texas, also contributed to the growth in natural gas production. Nonmetro micropolitan counties (nonmetro counties with small cities) as a whole accounted for only about 13 percent of the growth in natural gas production from 2000 to 2011. This chart and the underlying data (which include data on natural gas and oil production, as well as indicators of the degree of rurality) are found in the ERS data product, County-level Oil and Gas Production in the U.S., released in January 2014.

Disruptive market, demographic and environmental dynamics are fundamentally reshaping America’s economic landscape. In this new reality, the United States must redouble its effort to rebuild and renew the critical infrastructure assets that will enable the growth of a more productive, inclusive, and resilient economy. This is no small task. As the federal government continues to scale back its role in the sector, a new generation of ideas and innovators are needed to fill the gap.

On May 16, the Metropolitan Policy Program at Brookings will host a series of presentations and discussion sessions highlighting young leaders who are fundamentally rethinking America’s critical infrastructure systems.  This event will be live webcast.

2) EPA Solicits Public Comments on Action Plan for RE-Powering America’s Land

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is seeking public comments on the draft action plan for its RE-Powering America’s Land Initiative. The plan guides EPA’s efforts over the next two years to encourage renewable energy development on current and formerly contaminated lands, landfills and mine sites when such development is aligned with the community’s vision for the site. The cleanup of contaminated land and the production of renewable energy will provide long-term improvements to air quality in communities, while protecting public health.

In 2010, the RE-Powering America’s Land Initiative published its first management plan to provide a useful framework to engage stakeholders on the potential to site renewable energy on contaminated lands and track progress. This second action plan, Action Plan 2.0, identifies activities planned for the next two years.

The agency will solicit comments for 30 days. Comments on the proposed plan are due by Friday, May 30.To submit a comment, please send to cleanenergy@epa.gov
