SUMMARY:Coffee Break: Benton Park West Tiny House Project
DESCRIPTION:  \nHOT TOPIC\nBenton Park West Tiny House Project \nView a recording of this Coffee Break!  \nThis Tiny House Project is currently under construction in the Benton Park West neighborhood in the City of St. Louis. It is planned to be an environmentally regenerative and one-of-a-kind project. It’s being build on what was once a vacant lot\, purchased through the St. Louis City Land Revitalization Authority (LRA). This livable home will use energy saving building concepts such as radiant heating\, solar power collection\, rainwater collection\, and passive heating and cooling concepts. The building itself\, inspired by the work of Bob Cassilly\, will be created from mostly reclaimed materials. The style will be a unique expression that keeps the historic aesthetic of the neighborhood in mind. Building a 420 square foot house on a 7\,000 square foot lot allows space for large permaculture and vegetable gardens. \nFEATURED GUESTS \n\nRikki Watts and Dwayne Tiggs \nRikki Watts and Dwayne Tiggs are managing this project. Rikki has extensive organic farming and gardening experience and is no stranger to finding creative ways to reuse materials. She believes that by empowering the community to use reclaimed materials\, there will be greater accessibility to art and gardening while diverting waste. Rikki has also worked with nonprofit organizations for the past eight years and has experience organizing and leading workshops\, tracking participant data\, and reporting on program outcomes. \nTiggs has a Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Arts and a Master of Architecture degree. He has designed and built custom pieces for private use and in businesses throughout the St. Louis region for 20 years. Recently\, Tiggs has expanded his medium to incorporate reclaimed materials though the design of his current home in Benton Park West and of a glass greenhouse made exclusively from repurposed windows and framing. In collaboration with other architects and engineers\, he has designed the Tiny House\, and is excited to share his skills and knowledge with the community. \nREGISTER \nJoin us on Saturday\, April 1 from 9:30 am – 1:00 pm for a special work day at the Benton Park West Tiny House Project with the Missouri Botanical Garden’s Outdoor Youth Corps. Contact Emily Andrews at info@mogreenbuildings.org for more information! \n**********\nNeed a break? Or a quick face-to-face with your green building community? New thoughts\, ideas\, and conversation to jump start your day? Join your Green Buildings Are Better community every 3rd Friday on Zoom for a quick (free) coffee break discussing green building and sustainability hot topics with local and national featured guests!\nView previous LIVE Missouri Gateway Green Building Council Coffee Breaks on our YouTube Channel.  \nConsent to use photographic images: \nThis event will be recorded and shared on our website. Registration/attendance at\, or participation in USGBC-Missouri Gateway Chapter programs and activities constitutes an agreement by the registrants to allow the organization to use and distribute (both now and in the future) the attendee’s image\, in photographs\, video\, and electronic reproductions of such events and activities.

SUMMARY:Evening Program: Inflation Reduction Act - An Enabler for Aggressive Action on Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:See a list of March 16\, 2023 Attendees \nREGISTER NOW! \nIn August 2022\, U.S. Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act. This is the most aggressive action on tackling the climate crisis in American history. The Act is designed to: \n\nBuild American clean energy supply chains\, by incentivizing domestic production in clean energy technologies like solar\, wind\, carbon capture\, and clean hydrogen\nStrengthen America’s manufacturing base with targeted tax incentives aimed at domestically manufacturing products such as batteries\, solar\, and offshore wind components\, and technologies for carbon capture systems.\nCreate good-paying union jobs in “energy communities” by providing additional clean energy tax credits for projects established in communities that have previously relied upon the extraction\, processing\, transport\, or storage of coal\, oil\, or natural gas as a significant source of employment\, and offer incentives to pay prevailing wages.\n\nThis presentation will summarize provisions in the Inflation Reduction Act related to climate change\, offering specific details related to solar and energy efficiency. New and renewed incentives are included to expand clean energy production for residential\, commercial\, industrial and utility scale solar through 2034\, enabling a predictable set of financial incentives to exponentially increase our domestic clean energy supply\, dramatically reducing our carbon emissions. \nSPEAKERS \nSteve O’Rourke\, Account Manager at Greentech Renewables\nAfter 25 years consulting in marketing and information technologies\, Steve transitioned into the renewable energy industry in 2009\, working with a variety of commercial\, industrial and nonprofit organizations to better manage their energy use\, and offset reduced demand with clean\, renewable energy. He subsequently focused on O&M to help “deliver on the promise of solar\,” and continues to maintain a relationship with a few key commercial clients to monitor and manage their energy use in his consulting business\, EnerGuidance. His business\, industry\, sales and leadership experience have been a welcome addition to Greentech. Steve is a NABCEP-certified PV Technical Sales professional and taught about the business case for solar at St. Louis Community College’s Center for Workforce Innovation. He was elected to the board of the Missouri Solar Energy Industries Association (MOSEIA) in 2015\, serving as treasurer through 2018. Steve has been a member of Missouri Gateway Green Building Council since 2010\, and served as chair of the marketing committee before being elected to the board in 2015. He served on the finance committee and was then elected to serve another term as treasurer\, and currently serves as the past chair of the board. \nEric Schneider\, Director of Business Development at StraightUp Solar\nEric joined the StraightUp Solar team in 2019. He is a member of the Board of Directors for the Missouri Solar Energy Industries Association. With an Economics degree from Grinnell College and a Master’s of Planning Degree from the University of Minnesota\, he has been interested in the triple-bottom line of people\, planet and profit throughout his professional career. For sixteen years Eric held positions at the St. Louis Regional Chamber in sustainability\, public policy and economic development\, where he led the St. Louis Green Business Challenge which assisted 175 businesses to improve sustainable businesses and reduce their environmental impact. He also directed the Chamber’s green economy focus\, producing the St. Louis Green Jobs Report and convening the Green Confluence Summit.

The district is particularly unique in its unflinching belief that student\, staff\, community\, and environmental wellness cannot be achieved without intentional work to recognize and dismantle systems of racial inequity and exclusion. \nBy centering “Joy and Well-Being” in all district work and integrating social and emotional health into everyday school experiences and relationships\, SDUC offers its students everything from wellness lounges to trauma specialists\, public art events to a Restorative Practices course. The district calls this SEEAL: Social\, Emotional\, Equitable and Academic Learning. This program has achieved national attention for successes in community engagement\, increased joy and well-being\, and reduced disciplinary events. It has also led to the creation of Ubuntu circles to build healthy\, authentic relationships between all members of the school community\, and student representation on the school board.\nSDUC is also a leader in project-based environmental and sustainability education that gets students outdoors and active\, and uses a comprehensive tiered indoor/outdoor “green curriculum” that intentionally progresses from PreK-12. \nIn their commitment to the health of students and communities\, the district has implemented a wide range of green practices across district facilities\, including the construction two LEED certified elementary schools\, onsite solar\, limits on vehicle idling\, CO2 monitoring\, integrated pest management\, and an outdoor STEAM lab and rain garden at every school. \nThis work\, along with years of eco-minded improvements to each school in the district\, led to national recognition this year by the U.S. Department of Education through the Missouri Green Schools (MGS) program. Brief information on MGS and how attendees can find green schools contacts in their states will be presented. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nExamine what Well-Being and Joy really mean in the context of school climate.\nDiscuss the role of racial equity\, student voice and social action in empowering students to be present and aware.\nDemonstrate how school climate leads to positive environmental practices.\nExplore the connection between equity\, voice\, action\, joy\, well-being\, sustainability and Green Schools\, and identify frameworks for integrating these practices in your school.\n\n  \nREGISTER NOW for the 2023 Green Schools Conference. \nSome text content from this event posting was sourced directly from greenschoolsconference.org.

SUMMARY:Connect on the Quest - Connecting GSQ to Missouri Green Schools
DESCRIPTION:Connect on the Quest:\nConnecting GSQ to Missouri Green Schools \nA monthly virtual speakers series sharing Green Schools Quest project stories and resources to support schools in their green schools endeavors. \nThe March 31st Connect on the Quest will focus on Connecting Green Schools Quest to Missouri Green Schools.  \nEach year\, students across the state implement no/low-cost sustainability projects at their schools with the help of their school sponsor and Green Mentor through the Green Schools Quest: A Project-Based Challenge. Over 200 schools have participated\, many for multiple years\, since the program launched in 2013. The impact of their projects is astonishing.\n\nCurrently in pilot\, Missouri Green Schools is a new statewide recognition program which supports schools in taking a systems-based approach to identify and advance green schools practices and which also serves as the conduit for the U.S. Department of Education’s Green Ribbon Schools award.  \nThe Green Schools Quest and Missouri Green Schools go hand in hand – either can be an entry point to the other and schools can participate in both simultaneously. Both include opportunities for recognition and celebrate participants’ accomplishments. \nIn this session\, we’ll walk through examples of how a school might participate in both programs simultaneously using the criteria for one to guide and satisfy criteria for the other – leveraging both programs together for greater impact!

SUMMARY:Connect on the Quest: A Field Guide to Climate Anxiety - How to Keep Your Cool on a Warming Planet
DESCRIPTION:Connect on the Quest – for any climate action advocate – green school mentor – teacher – community member – all are welcome – Wednesday\, February 8\, 2023 @ 4:30 pm – 5:30 pm\, online. \nREGISTER \nThose inheriting our planet’s environmental problems expect to encounter challenges\, but they may not have the skills to grapple with the feelings of powerlessness and despair that may arise when they confront this seemingly intractable situation. \nDrawing on a decade of experience leading and teaching in college environmental studies programs\, Sarah Jaquette Ray has created an “existential tool kit” for youth who are reenergizing global environmental activism – the “climate generation.” Combining insights from psychology\, sociology\, social movements\, mindfulness\, and the environmental humanities\, Ray explains why and how we need to let go of eco-guilt\, resist burnout\, and cultivate resilience while advocating for climate justice. Her new book\, a Field Guide to Climate Anxiety\, is the essential guidebook for the climate generation—and perhaps the rest of us—as we confront the greatest environmental threat of our time. \nConnect on the Quest is a virtual gathering centered on providing Green Schools Quest participants with opportunities to connect with each other and learn together. It is also open to educators who are not yet participating\, but would like to learn about the subjects shared. This year’s Connect on the Quest series will focus on resources and education surrounding Climate Action. \nConnect on the Quest: A Field Guide to Climate Anxiety – How to Keep Your Cool on a Warming Planet \nPRESENTERS \nSarah Jaquette Ray\, Author of A Field Guide to Climate Anxiety; Chair and Professor of Environmental Studies at Cal Poly Humboldt. Ray researches and teaches on climate justice\, the environmental humanities\, and climate emotions. Her recent book\, A Field Guide to Climate Anxiety: How to Keep Your Cool on a Warming Planet\, explores the role of emotions in climate justice activism. Ray is co-editing an edited collection for educators called An Existential Toolkit for Climate Justice Educators\, and has developed a workshop to help educators bring the science of emotions into environmental education\, called the Climate Wisdom Lab. She speaks extensively on climate justice and emotions\, and has written for the LA Times\, The Scientific American\, The Cairo Review of Global Affairs\, Zocalo Public Square\, and other venues. \nSeveral GSQ Participants will share out updates on their projects! \nWHERE\nVirtual event via Zoom.\nRegistrants will receive login details prior to the event. \nADMISSION\nFREE. All are welcome! \nREGISTER NOW \nSHARE this event using URL bit.ly/GSQConnectFeb2023 and tag us @MOgreenbuildings or use the hashtags\, #GreenBuildingsAreBetter – #GreenSchoolsQuest – #EnergyAdvocacy \nQUESTIONS?\nContact Hope Gribble\, Missouri Gateway GBC\, Green Schools Manager\, at hope@mogreenbuildings.org or 314-577-0225. \nCONSENT TO USE OF PHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGES\nThis event will be recorded and shared on our website.
