SUMMARY:Geopolitics & Our Energy Supply: Another Case for Green Energy Sovereignty (May General Meeting)
DESCRIPTION:By far the main contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions is the extraction\, processing and combustion of fossil fuels. This makes clear that understanding energy issues is fundamental to understanding and solving the climate crisis. \nThis month’s SOCAN General Meeting will feature our Executive Director Daniel Scotton presenting\, “Geopolitics & Our Energy Supply: Another Case for Green Energy Sovereignty.” This talk will examine the growing instability surrounding global fossil fuel markets\, how international transportation and supply chains influence energy prices\, and why recent disruptions highlight the need for greater electrification and local energy resilience. \nFrom international conflict to shipping bottlenecks and market volatility\, energy systems are increasingly tied to geopolitical uncertainty. This presentation will explore why transitioning toward renewable energy and regional energy independence is not only a climate solution\, but also an economic and community stability strategy for Southern Oregon and beyond. \nThe SOCAN May Public General Meeting at 6:00 pm on May 26th at the Medford Public Library will feature Daniel Scotton discussing yet another reason that Oregon should be heavily and rapidly investing in its clean energy supply. \nThere is no charge for attending SOCAN events: https://socan.eco/events/ \n*This meeting is not sponsored nor endorsed by Jackson County Library Services.

SUMMARY:How to be Effective When Taking Climate Action - SOCAN General Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Many of us want to do what we can to address the climate crisis – for ourselves\, our youth\, and future generations. However\, it is challenging to identify how each of us individually can address this issue meaningfully . To help us\, we will briefly revisit a January 2024 SOCAN presentation that featured Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson\, who developed  a 10-minute TED talk offering tips on this process. Johnson created a Venn diagram with three circles overlapping in the center where we  identify (1) what gives us  joy\, (2) what we are good at doing\, and (3) what we  could do to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions. \nThe next SOCAN Public General meeting will feature Flavia Franco from Southern Oregon Food Solutions. Flavia will share her take on the Venn Diagram and how she is using a positive feedback loop to make her intersection (in the diagram) grow bigger\, both personally and as a community\, as she focuses on the issues of food waste prevention\, reduction and community compost. In order  to make progress – especially towards resilience – connections and relationships are key. A positive feedback loop can be used to build momentum in climate action either by being the center driver of the loop activity or by being a part of the loop itself. \nFlavia’s call to action is that if attendees haven’t done so already\, then some time should be used to create individual diagrams\, to take stock of progress on this journey\, and to decide if course correction is necessary for going further and to connect with others in order to make progress.
