SUMMARY:April Book Group Meeting
DESCRIPTION:We will discuss “In This Together: Connecting with your community to combat the climate crisis\,” by Marianne E. Krasny. Prof. Krasny will join us for the discussion. \nFrom the Cornell University Press writeup: In This Together explores how we can harness our social networks to make a real impact fighting the climate crisis. Against notions of the lone environmental crusader\, Marianne E. Krasny shows us the power of “network climate action”—the idea that our own ordinary acts can influence and inspire those close to us. Through this spread of climate-conscious practices\, our individual actions become collective ones that can eventually effect widespread change. \nWeaving examples of everyday climate-forward initiatives in with insights on behavioral and structural change\, Krasny demonstrates how we can scale up the impact of our efforts through leveraging our community connections. Whether by inviting family\, friends\, or colleagues to a plant-rich meal or by becoming activists at climate nonprofits\, we can forge the social norms and shared identities that can lead to change. With easy-to-follow dos and don’ts\,  In This Together shows us a practical and hopeful way forward into our shared future. \nNote: The author is providing a discount at Cornell University Press to Book Group participants who would like to purchase the book. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nMeeting ID: 926 2795 7489\nPasscode: NYRocks

SUMMARY:April Chapter Meeting: Tompkins County Food System Plan - Roadmap for our Future
DESCRIPTION:Presentation by Don Barber\, Chair\, Tompkins Food Policy Council \nEveryone fully participates in our food system every day by the choices we make to feed ourselves and our family. Most of us are unaware there is a strong connection between the climate crisis and our food system. The global food system releases fully one third of the annual greenhouse gas emissions. It doesn’t have to be this way\, as there are food choice changes that consumers can make to significantly reduce GHG emissions. There are agricultural practices that apply to gardens up to large farms which will sequester much more carbon in soil. Join us on April 20th to learn about our local food system; its impact on the climate and climate’s impact on agriculture and the role our everyday decisions can have to reduce GHG emissions and support carbon capture.\nDon Barber is Chair of the Tompkins Food Policy Council. In the 1980’s he was chair of the Sierra Club Atlantic Chapter’s Finger Lakes Group\, then Chair of the Tompkins County Environmental Management Council\, then Caroline Town Supervisor for 22 years which was the second municipality in NY to purchase 100% of its municipal energy from renewable sources and build a Town Office building powered by the sun and heated by the earth. He grew up on a family dairy farm and currently farms in Brooktondale which is fully solar powered and uses draft horses for a good share of the field work.\nIn 2019\, he and other members of the Tompkins Food Policy Council lobbied the County Legislature to fund staffing to develop a Food System Plan for Tompkins County; and then secured funding from the Community Foundation of Tompkins County for programming costs. Last summer\, they delivered a Food System Plan\, from over 2000 voices\, which was unanimously accepted by the County Legislature. The FPC is now in the Implementation phase.\nSee the Plan here \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nMeeting ID: 958 6631 3240\nPasscode: NYRocks
