SUMMARY:Into The Thaw
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Friday\, October 18th for an evening of storytelling and discussion with author Jon Waterman. Jon will be presenting his new book\, Into the Thaw: Witnessing Wonder Amid the Arctic Climate Crisis\, which attendees will have early access to purchase! A little about the book:\n\nMore than 40 years ago\, Jon Waterman worked as a mountaineering ranger at Alaska’s Denali National Park. His 1983 patrol to the Noatak River in Gates of the Arctic National Park sparked a lifetime fascination with the wild\, remote regions of the North. Waterman has since embarked on scores of expeditions to the North\, often traveling solo by boat and on foot to document the natural wonders and cultural heritage across Arctic North America. \nAfter a long hiatus from the Noatak headwaters\, he returned with his son in 2021\, witnessing firsthand the effects of climate change that he chronicled in a New York Times story\, “36 Years Later\, the Climate Changes at This National Park Stunned Me.” Amid a river now flooded\, overgrown with brush\, and bereft of once-abundant caribou\, he was deeply disheartened by the many transformations. \nIn 2022\, Waterman took a final\, extended expedition “into the thaw” with the professional kayaker and photographer Chris Korbulic to carefully document the environmental and cultural changes precipitated by the climate crisis. They covered more than 500 miles on foot and by packraft down the entire river\, then up the coast\, passing through three different National Park Service managed lands to meet with scientists\, interview Iñupiat (the Alaskan Inuit)\, investigate the many impacts of the Arctic climate crisis\, and celebrate the enduring wonder of this special place. This book will be available in bookstores on November 12th. \nPatagonia Provisions crackers and tinned fish will be available to sample alongside some Cabot cheese slices! \nSchedule: \n\nDoors: 6:30 PM\nPresentation: 7:00 PM\n8:00 PM: book signing of Into The Thaw: Witnessing Wonder amid The Arctic Climate Crisis\n\nWalk ins will be welcome\, but your RSVP will guarantee you a seat! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJon Waterman\nAuthor\nJon Waterman has worked as a director of a small press\, an editor\, a naturalist\, a park ranger\, a wilderness guide\, a photographer\, and a filmmaker. Among his many publications\, Jon’s work has often appeared in The New York Times\, Outside\, Men’s Journal\, Adventure\, Climbing\, and Sailing World. His 17 books include In the Shadow of Denali\, Kayaking the Vermilion Sea\,and Running Dry; he is a frequent grantee of the National Geographic Society. By taking risks and tackling difficult issues\, his work transcends traditional outdoor yarns and has garnered numerous awards\, including a Literary Fellowship from the National Endowment of the Arts\, three Best Adventure Book Awards from the Banff Book Festival\, a National Park Service Special Achievement Award\, and the Sigurd Olson Nature Writing Award. He grew up in Lexington\, MA\, and lives in Carbondale\, Colorado. \n\n\n\n\nCommunity Partner: Vermont Conservation Voters\nFounded in 1982\, VCV works to elect environmentally-friendly candidates to public office\, and then holds elected officials accountable for the decisions they make affecting our air\, water\, wildlife\, land\, communities\, and health. One of the reps will be on site to tell us about their organization and answer any voter registration questions that you have! You can also sign up for their Pledge to Vote for the chance to win a 55L Black Hole Duffel!

SUMMARY:Climate Resiliency - What’s Needed\, What’s Possible
DESCRIPTION:As we continue to recover and rebuild in communities ravaged by floods across central Vermont we were once again reminded that our state needs to take proactive action to build the resilience we need.  We must reduce flood risks with nature-based solutions\, invest in climate-resilient infrastructure\, improve government response and capacity\, and implement a suite of funding solutions to make these critical investments.  Join us on Monday January 8th 2024 for Climate Resiliency – What’s Needed\, What’s Possible to learn more about these solutions and how you can get involved in creating a more resilient Vermont.

SUMMARY:Making Big Oil Pay: A Deep- Dive on the Policy Plan
DESCRIPTION:As flood waters recede and Vermonters begin to rebuild\, two things are becoming clear. Disasters like these are extraordinarily expensive. The costs to repair damage to homes and infrastructure will be astronomical\, not to mention the destruction of priceless memories\, heirlooms\, and lives. And second\, this storm was not a fluke. Come learn how those who profited off the dirty energy systems that caused the climate crisis should be the ones to pay the price.

SUMMARY:The Opportunity In Modernizing Vermont’s Renewable Energy Standard
DESCRIPTION:Join us to learn about Vermont’s current Renewable Energy Standard (RES)\, and how its 2032 requirements are not going far enough to help reduce our carbon pollution and combat climate change. A more robust RES that requires 100% renewable energy and more in-state renewable energy generation is the answer Vermont needs. Hear from panelists from VNRC\, Conservation Law Foundation and VPIRG as we dig into the details of proposed changes to the RES and leave time for questions from attendees.
