C-Change

-
On October 28, 2019, the ACGC was proud to host Sophie Glovier and Kim Haren, from C-Change Conversations, based in Princeton, NJ. Their day began with a morning presentation to members of the Allyn's Creek and Rochester Garden Clubs at the Strong Museum of Play. Later in the day, they were grateful for the opportunity to be guests and share their message on WXXI's radio program Connections with Evan Dawson. The hour-long program can be heard here:

The evening presentation at Nazareth College attracted over 140 people. Glovier discussed how we know climate change is real, how we know that humans have contributed to it, and what we can do to mitigate it. C-Change is attempting to de-politicize the issue of climate change, and to encourage people to take constructive action.


Representatives were on hand from several Rochester organizations providing information about sustainability initiatives in our area. If you are interested in learning more about C-Change, please visit their website: https://www.c-changeconversations.org

The Allyn’s Creek Garden Club was privileged to have a presentation on local recycling at our November General Meeting by Meagan Evans-Saurini, Environmental Educator for Monroe County Department of Environmental Services. Lots of great information can be found on their website:  https://www.monroecounty.gov/des-solidwaste                 and  https://www.monroecounty.gov/des-residentialrecycling Most of Monroe County’s recycling is in partnership with Waste Management, and there are two landfills in our county. Meagan explained the waste hierarchy upside-down pyramid, and that in our area, we generate about 5 pounds of garbage per person per day!    She gave us some great tips to avoid being ‘wishcyclers’ – putting things in recycling that we wish would be recycled but aren’t – and to prevent clogging the recycling machines: 1) things that aren’t recyclable include plastic pill bottles (those can be taken to EcoPark), plastic ...
