Great opportunity to find those perfect and unique GREEN gifts!

Carmel Green Initiative and the Carmel Clay Public Library are partnering to host another Green Gift Shop on December 5th at the Carmel Clay Public Library.  Join us for environmentally friendly gift ideas that are local, organic, natural or made from recycled and repurposed materials.  The library will also be showcasing all their holiday books.

*In the Community Room — Lower Level

Join us for an all-women hike where women come together to support wildlife conservation efforts.

During the hike, we will engage in learning different outdoor skills, including map and compass reading, purifying your water from a stream, identifying flora and fauna and engaging in a nature meditation with other wildlife lovers. Hikes are between 2-4 miles long. A list of suggested items to bring/wear will be provided prior to the hike in order to best prepare everyone.

Hikes are led by Patty Haltom, and space is limited to 12 people per hike.  Patty is a Professional Outdoor Educator and Wilderness Guide, and founder and owner of Project Reteach Outdoor Adventures, an all-women’s outdoor adventure company based in Indianapolis.

This event, co-sponsored by the Hoosier Environmental Council and Purdue’s Institute for a Sustainable Future, provides a general introduction to the group of manmade chemicals known as “PFAS” or “Forever Chemicals.” In this first of a series of two, scientists from Purdue University provide current information on the sources, uses and impacts of PFAS on human health and the environment with particular emphasis on concerns for Hoosiers. rounding out the event will be a discussion of policy impacts of PFAS at both state and federal levels as well as an opportunity for Q&A.

• Introduction to PFAS – What they are and their uses – Marisol Sepúlveda, Purdue University
• Health Implications- Jennifer Freeman, Purdue University
• Presentation of Purdue Statewide Assessment of PFAS-Ty Hoskins
• Policy and Legal Impacts of PFAS, both state and federal – Kelly Moser, Southern Environmental Law Center
• Q&A and facilitated discussion – Sam  Carpenter, HEC moderator

In this special webinar event, REGENESIS is pleased to host a panel of leading PFAS experts:
Anthony Bollasina, PG of New York DEC, Elizabeth Denly of TRC, Grant Carey, PhD of Porewater Solutions, and Maureen Dooley of REGENESIS — will join special guest moderator Sabrina Shankman, Reporter for The Boston Globe, to discuss the regulatory path forward for PFAS.

Indiana lawmakers have the power to make sure our state embraces clean, renewable energy. And as a Hoosier, your opinion matters to those legislators. That’s why we hope you’ll join us – along with a coalition of renewable energy champions – for Renewable Energy Day on January 21 in Indianapolis. During this annual in-person event, you’ll get to talk directly with legislators about community solar and the other renewable energy policies you care about.

Join our upcoming Renewable Energy Day Training Webinar designed to equip you with the skills and confidence to engage with your representatives effectively at Renewable Energy Day.  The training will be held on Tuesday, January 14 at 12pm via Zoom – RSVP here!  ————————————————–

Some highlights of the day will include:
• Interfaith opening remarks, a renewable energy fair, and other activities
• A rally where speakers will discuss key renewable energy priorities, including community solar
• Solar supporters meeting with their legislators to urge them to support a renewable energy future
To have the maximum impact, we need as many solar supporters to turn out for this event as possible. That’s why we hope you’ll RSVP now. When you RSVP, we’ll share additional resources, tools, and training materials to help you effectively advocate for smart solar policies.

Can’t wait to see you there!
