\n\u2022 November 6th – Kai
\n\u2022 December 4th – Alex\n#2 Lunch and Learn updates<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Zach from CES consultants: November 13th at 1 pm, Watson 201. Topics: Utility, grid, gas,
\nrates, world events, state mandates, energy transition.
\n\u2022 We successfully got an honorarium ($250) to Kumara for his LnL. It was a bit higher
\nbecause he provided food. Our general rate might be more like $200.
\n\u2022 Idea for spring LnL: Matt Pelikan from Biodiversity Works to talk about native bees
\n\u2022 Idea for winter: Visit to Falmouth transfer station. Coordinate with Mary Ryther
\n\u2022 Idea for field trip: wastewater experimental station on JBCC
\n\u2022 Idea for LnL: someone from JBCC land management team to talk about their work
\n\u2022 Idea for LnL: Allied Scholars for Animal Protection. Sustainable and vegan food option for
\nlimiting animal cruelty.
\n\u2022 Idea for LnL: science communication person that Fadime met.\n
\n\u2022 Repair cafe: we’d like to reschedule and try again. We had 5-6 repairers and 12 repairees, but
\n2 repairers dropped out last minute, so we postponed. Fadime said that a better strategy is
\nprobably to go in-person to ask people rather than send emails.
\n\u2022 Maybe reschedule for Dec 4th, 4-6 pm? See if this works with repairers.
\n\u2022 Invasive plants removal: thinking of another rose garden event soon, but Mental Health ERG is
\nnot available. Partner with another ERG? It’s best after work, but time change will happen Nov 2.
\nSo Alex will lead a removal at the Rose Garden next Wednesday at 4:30 pm.\n
\n\u2022 Seb has pawpaw trees that he can contribute to planting. Plan for early spring 2026.\n
\n\u2022 New police station proposed just NE of Long Pond. Colin Reed and others have asked that they
\nlook at other locations that aren’t as close to the drinking water reservoir. Liz will send out
\ninfo and then people may send a letter if they feel compelled.\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
