"Chat" Transcript from Sierra Club Presentation on 2/24/2022 00:19:45 Jim A - CBTSP: I have another Zoom mtg. I will watch recorded version. How will I find link? 00:25:43 Gisselle (cohost): We will post the link to the video on our website at sierratuolumne.org. 00:25:58 Toni Welch - Valley Springs: thank you 00:59:34 Steve Christensen: Where can you find out how many car charging stations in a county and where they are? 01:00:29 Sacramento EV Association: where they are at: plugshare.com 01:12:58 John Buckley CSERC Twain Harte: Great presentation - Thank you! 01:27:34 Ann Brown, Livermore: Hi Everyone, If your Tuolumne chapter has not yet discovered the app Climate Action Now, I recommend that you register as a group and then you get a code. Members can then sign up (free) and use your code. You can add "actions"ť that are specific to your region (local elected officials, etc). The app makes it really easy to take quick actions for climate everyday. Plus, you can "earn"ť trees to be planted with your actions. Everyone, check it out: climateactionnow.com. Cheers! 01:30:46 P - Laura Rosenberger FresnansAgainstFracking: Comments were made for Organic agriculture at today's Carb meeting. Organic holds more water until later in the season. 01:31:59 Ann Brown, Livermore: State Level: Climate Safe California, put forth by The Climate Center. Tim and everyone, please learn about this statewide effort for climate. Theclimatecenter.org 01:32:50 Tim Robertson: Tim Robertson for Senate 4 tim@robertsonforsenate.com 209-284-4362 If anyone would like to learn more about me or had any policy ideas or suggestions, please reach out! 01:33:55 John Buckley CSERC Twain Harte: State programs are needed to bolster the economic solutions tied to the use of biomass - the excess woody material in forests that is left after logging or that comes from masticating brush fields in order to reduce wildfire risk. Without an economic market for the waste wood it is hard to get that waste wood out of the forest so it otherwise burns in wildfires or gets burned in the open in the forest - generating GHG emissions 01:35:58 P - Laura Rosenberger FresnansAgainstFracking: Waste-wood will be useful in vegetable gardens 01:37:11 Ann Brown, Livermore: There is one solution for that bio waste developed at the Lawrence Livermore Lab - it’s called “Getting to Neutral;” Biowaste is burned, creating energy. The emissions are captured and stored deep underground, where fracking has occurred. This will not be cheap, but it solves multiple challenges. It is being heavily promoted by the Lab scientists and if interested, I could perhaps arrange that a speaker explains it at a future meeting. 01:39:12 Ann Brown, Livermore: The Central Valley has CCL chapters in Modesto, Stockton, Manteca, Tracy,… you can find all the chapters in the world at citizensclimatelobby.org 01:41:49 Ann Brown, Livermore: Cattle can be given a seaweed supplement that reduces their methane output by 80%. It is being used by diary farmers in Marin County, Strauss Organic Dairy, among others. It won’t work for grass fed cattle, out on the range,. 01:43:07 Karen (host) Sonora: There is something you can feed cattle that improves their digestion and they get more calories and produces way less methane. 01:43:43 Ann Brown, Livermore: Its that magic seaweed/kelp. 01:43:57 Elaine Gorman: Better to reduce beef/meat/dairy consumption 01:44:44 Dana Baker: Americans have reduced their consumption of dairy a lot, but the USDA still subsidizes dairy farmers to overproduce then dump milk, but yes agree with reducing as a personal goal 01:45:20 elaine hagen: So we all need to reach out to Joe Manchin! 01:45:30 Richard Anderson, Modesto: Let's have a joint zoom meeting of the T.C. and the Yokuts Sierra Club to get acquainted, but also to decide how we can join forces for the Sierras, and climate in general. Me: andersonr@mjc.edu Elaine Gorman: vevado@yahoo.com Anita Young: 01:45:55 Elaine Gorman: go for it! 01:46:15 Anita Young - Yokuts Sierra Club: Anita Young: ayyoungbooks2@gmail.com The other email would go to my husband 01:46:23 P - Laura Rosenberger FresnansAgainstFracking: The unnatural food in feedlots with glyphosate and toxic metals is what causes them to belch more than usual 01:46:32 Ann Segerstrom: Thanks for a great program! 01:46:35 Toni Welch - Valley Springs: Thank you Dana!! 01:46:57 Robbie Bergstrom: Thank you. Wonderful presentation. 01:47:39 elaine hagen: elainehagen@att.net
