SUMMARY:Clean and Renewable Energy is Essential to National Security with Dr. John Lehman\, Former Secretary of the Navy
DESCRIPTION:Dr. John Lehman\, former Secretary of the Navy will give a presentation on Clean and Renewable Energy is Essential to National Security! \nDr. John Lehman came to know that renewable energy sources were essential to the security of the United States as a result of the findings of the 9/11 Commission on which he served. \nThe findings indicated that our energy grid is open to enemy attack\, both physical and cyber. As we have gained energy independence\, our grid is more secure\, but still susceptible to attack. \nOur military bases and forces having the capability to provide energy independent of the grid will make them safer and have the ability to continue operations should the grid go down. \nDr. Lehman has not only talked the talked\, but walked the walk by installing a solar field on his property in eastern Pennsylvania. It has been an expensive and long process due to complaints from neighbors\, but he has prevailed and is looking to add additional solar in the future. \nDuring this Town Hall you will hear from the man Ronald Reagan trusted to build the U.S. Navy into a modern force which stood against our enemies during the Cold War and prevailed.

SUMMARY:National Drive Electric Week
DESCRIPTION:The number of electric cars registered in Pennsylvania increased 50 percent in 2018. Although electric vehicles are still a small fraction of registered vehicles\, the trend is clear: More Pennsylvanians want to drive electric vehicles for work and personal use. \nLocal governments\, businesses\, and residents are increasingly interested in the lifetime cost savings: Electric vehicles need less maintenance than gasoline or diesel vehicles and cost 50 – 70 percent less to fuel. Many want to drive these zero-emission vehicles to help improve air quality in their communities. Others want to do their part to reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and slow climate change. \nMost people have a lot of questions about driving electric vehicles: What are they like to drive? How far will they go on a charge? Where are the charging stations? Is there any financial assistance to buy an electric vehicle or install a charger? Are electric trucks available? \nJoin us for this free webinar series on the benefits and basics of driving electric in Pennsylvania. Our broad range of speakers\, including both experts and new converts\, will answer your questions\, share their knowledge and experiences\, and get you as close to driving electric as virtually possible!

SUMMARY:PennCEF with Pollster Glen Bolger: Do Pennsylvanians support clean and renewable energy?
DESCRIPTION:Pollster Glen Bolger of Public Opinion Strategies will give a presentation on Do Pennsylvanians Support Clean and Renewable Energy? \nPennCEF commissioned Bolger earlier this year to conduct polling in the Commonwealth to determine support for Community Solar legislation in Pennsylvania. \nThe results were surprising and affirmed Pennsylvania citizens want red tape out of the way which prohibits farms\, businesses and landowners from sharing a solar installation with one another. \nIn addition\, Glen will share his latest data on the support for renewable energy nationally. \nThis is critical data for legislators\, proponents of clean and renewable energy and those in this industry to understand the broad support there is among widely varying demographics in Pennsylvania and our country as a whole.

SUMMARY:PennCEF with Pollster Glen Bolger: Do Pennsylvanians support clean and renewable energy?
DESCRIPTION:Pollster Glen Bolger of Public Opinion Strategies will give a presentation on Do Pennsylvanians Support Clean and Renewable Energy? \nPennCEF commissioned Bolger earlier this year to conduct polling in the Commonwealth to determine support for Community Solar legislation in Pennsylvania. \nThe results were surprising and affirmed Pennsylvania citizens want red tape out of the way which prohibits farms\, businesses and landowners from sharing a solar installation with one another. \nIn addition\, Glen will share his latest data on the support for renewable energy nationally. \nThis is critical data for legislators\, proponents of clean and renewable energy and those in this industry to understand the broad support there is among widely varying demographics in Pennsylvania and our country as a whole.

SUMMARY:Right of Way: How Racial and Class Disparities Created a Silent Epidemic of Pedestrian Deaths in America
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: the Security and Sustainability Forum \nIn the last ten years\, there has been a 50 percent increase in pedestrian deaths. In 2018 alone more than 6\,000 pedestrians were killed while walking in America. Yet\, despite the increase in deaths\, the tragedy of traffic violence has barely registered with the media and wider culture. Disproportionately\, the victims are immigrants\, the poor\, and people of color. They have largely been blamed and forgotten. The media barely covers these tragedies as they victims often in low-income neighborhoods. \nWhat appears at first to be “accidentals”\, under greater scrutiny\, reveals itself to be a predictable\, stark geographic patterns that tell a story about systemic inequality. These deaths are the forgotten faces of an increasingly urgent public-health crisis that we have the tools\, but not the will\, to solve. Why are these people dying? What’s necessary to reframe the problem\, acknowledge racism and classism in our public response to safety\, and energize road safety advocates? How can we create programs\, policies\, and movements that respond to the epidemic?

SUMMARY:Ensuring Performance and Safety in Recycled Plastics
DESCRIPTION:As companies and consumer brands incorporate recycled plastic content into their products and as part of their circularity goals\, product integrity becomes an important consideration. There are many ways to evaluate the performance and safety of recycled materials. This one-hour webcast will show you tools to evaluate these aspects and how brands like HP are increasing recycled content in their products and assessing performance and sustainability.

SUMMARY:WOMEN IN THE CLIMATE CHANGE WORKFORCE
DESCRIPTION:Largely due to gender inequalities around the world\, women bear a disproportionate burden of climate change. As main providers of food and fuel\, women are more vulnerable to drought and flooding. Given this\, women are uniquely situated to be champions of change\, including in the workforce\, and while more women today are represented in leadership positions\, there is still a significant gender gap. Women\, especially women of color\, continue to be underrepresented in leadership positions even though it is well established that diversity is highly beneficial to creativity\, innovation\, effectiveness and ultimately problem-solving. \nDuring this Climate Week NYC event\, we will hear from an inspiring panel of women in climate and environmental leadership positions who will share their experiences and what they view as the challenges and opportunities to institute equity\, diversity\, and inclusion in environmental organizations.
