SUMMARY:Webinar: How to Be a Citizen Intervenor (part 1)
DESCRIPTION:Please join BXE and regulatory expert Nancy LaPlaca as they unpack Duke Energy Carolina’s (DEC’s) fuel docket in four one-hour webinars. (The first webinar is Thursday\, December 7th.)\n\nWhy the fuel docket? Because Duke’s much-criticized rush to build more gas plants is dependent on fuel to keep those plants going. DEC (and DEP) are planning to run these fossil gas plants for 30 years\, but how much pollution will that create\, and how much risk to ratepayers for increasingly volatile gas costs? Duke Energy conveniently ignores the enormous effect that fossil gas has on our climate\, a stunning 86 times worse than CO2 emissions from coal power.\n\nLearn about how a docket works: how to intervene\, and what to look for in sometimes-voluminous filings. Learn how to make a difference on critical policy issues that will affect our future\, our climate\, good local clean energy jobs\, reduce air and water pollution\, and our pocketbooks.\n\n\nRegister for the webinar here.

SUMMARY:From Barrels to Batteries: A Roundtable on Rural Transportation Electrification in the Southeast
DESCRIPTION:Join local and state leaders for a roundtable discussion on vehicle electrification in the rural southeast. The rapid growth in electric vehicles (EVs) today is part of a fundamental shift in transportation. All Americans and communities can benefit from the lower operating costs and increased economic development opportunities. Implementing charging infrastructure will also require a large-scale on-the-ground effort\, which will create high-quality jobs for rural communities in North Carolina\, South Carolina\, Georgia\, and Florida. \nThis event will bring together new stakeholders and participants from previous transportation electrification roundtables to share information\, develop policy plans\, and form partnerships that traverse state lines. \nLearn more and register at: electrificationcoalition.org/se-rural-roundtable

SUMMARY:The People's Hearing
DESCRIPTION:Are you impacted by the smells\, air\, and water quality concerns from concentrated animal feeding operations/factory farms/industrial agriculture? Do you feel it is unjust that North Carolina’s environmental regulations surrounding hog\, poultry\, and dairy production regularly promote industry more than protect our communities? \nIf your answer is yes\, then JOIN community members across the state for a People’s Hearing and lend your voice to the discussion about what needs to be done to protect the environment and our communities from the impacts of industrial animal agriculture! \nWHERE:\nRebuilding Broken Places CDC\n2105 N. William St.\nGoldsboro\, NC 27530 \nWHEN:\nSaturday\, Sept. 16\, 2023\n11 a.m. – 3 p.m. \nLunch\, travel subsidies\, child care\, and Spanish interpretation will be provided. \nTo register and for more information go to tinyurl.com/peopleshearing23 \nBackground: \nThe North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality is seeking public input on a series of general permits regulating industrial animal operations at concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs)\, including permits governing hog production\, wet poultry\, cattle and biogas — a dirty source of energy that is converted from untreated waste at CAFO facilities. The existing general permits are all set to expire September 2024. They will be renewed for a 5-year term that starts October 2024 and runs until September 2029. \nThese permits outline how animal waste must be managed at these facilities and the rules meant to prevent waste from harming the environment and nearby communities. Unfortunately\, many of these rules are outdated and ineffective\, and CAFOs continue to pollute the environment and harm nearby residents across southeastern North Carolina.  \nThe purpose of the People’s Hearing is to gather testimonies from those impacted by industrial animal operations to prove that NCDEQ must strengthen permits to protect our communities from toxic pollution. \nJoin us to share your story and get connected with others involved in the fight for healthy communities!

SUMMARY:Spidey Sens-r Party: A Community Air Monitoring Effort
DESCRIPTION:The North Carolina Environmental Justice Network (NCEJN) invites you to their first-ever Spidey Sens-r participatory air monitoring effort! Spidey Sens-r is a community science project that works by collecting dust that settles on funnel weaver spider webs. Help monitor the air quality in your community by collecting spider webs from around Goldsboro. \nLearn more and register for free here. \nNCEJN is co-hosting this community sampling event with Down East Coal Ash Environmental and Social Justice Coalition. Down East will share concerns about current sources of air pollution in Greenville. Participants will then use Spidey Sens-r to help measure and address them. \n“Spidey Sens-r” is a network of air quality monitors using spider webs. Participants will learn how to identify and collect funnel webs\, log coordinates\, and send them to our lab to be tested for metals. After a few demonstrations\, you will go out into the community and collect these webs together. With spider webs as bioindicators\, we can detect differences in air quality at the neighborhood level. \nTentative Agenda\n9:00 – 9:15 AM       Welcome and Registration\n9:15 – 9:25 AM       Spidey Sens-r Project overview\n9:25 – 10:10 AM     Web sampling training\n10:10 – 1:00 PM     Community web sampling\n1:00 – 2:00 PM       Lunch and closing
