Roxbury Food Loop Tour | CERO x Haley House
Monday, August 8
4:00 PM to 8:00 PM (EDT)
Haley House Bakery Café, 12 Dade Street, Boston
Join us in touring Roxboury's breakthrough local food economy.
Roxbury celebrates growing food and jobs in an innovative circular economy
Join us on Monday, August 8th from 4:00 to 8:00 pm for a delicious, interactive tour celebrating our community’s accomplishment of closing the “food loop,” culminating in a party with pizza and beer! At 4:00 PM, we will gather at Haley House Bakery Cafe (12 Dade Street in Dudley Square) to meet groundbreaking CERO Co-op, the worker-owners, and to check out their new custom organics trucks, financed with small investments from community residents. At 4:30pm, we will walk, bike, or carpool to Haley House’s thriving urban Thornton Farm (less than a mile away). While at the farm, we will pick basil and arugula before returning to Dudley Dough (in the Bruce C. Bolling Municipal Building, 2302 Washington Street) where we will top our pizzas with the freshly-picked produce. We will have a speaking program beginning at 6pm.
4:00 | CERO Meet and Greet | 12 Dade St, Roxbury, MA
4:30 | Walk/Bike to Haley House Farm | 95R Thornton St, Boston
5:00 | Harvest Your Own Pizza Toppings | 95R Thornton St, Boston
6:00 | Free Pizza, Music, Beer, Speaking Program | Dudley Dough (2302 Washington St, Roxbury, MA 02119)
Dudley Dough, CERO Cooperative, and Haley House’s Thornton Street Farm offer a new paradigm for how a community working together can close the food loop, while also creating jobs, stimulating the local economy, and promoting social justice. Every week, CERO staff collect food waste from Haley House’s Dudley Dough pizza shop to be composted, saving it from landfill and incinerators. CERO workers then fill up the truck with rich compost, made from last year’s food scraps, for delivery to Haley House’s Thornton Street Farm (located up the hill from Dudley Dough, in Roxbury’s Highland Park) and other local growers. Some of the food grown at the Thornton Street Farm makes its way down to Dudley Dough to top the delicious wholegrain pizza and to Haley House Bakery Cafe where youth enroll in cooking classes and formerly incarcerated trainees learn job skills while cooking up delicious eats for the community at affordable prices.
Join us for the celebration! Commune with neighbors and hear from city, community and business leaders to learn more about this movement to grow food and prosperity through a thriving local economy.
See you there!

Enigmas of Life: Getting It Started and Becoming Complex
Tuesday, August 9
6:30 PM
Belmont Media Center, 9 Lexington Street, Belmont
Zachary Adam, Ph.D., Agouron Postdoctoral Fellow, Knoll Lab, Harvard University.
Although the basic ingredients for life are among the most common elements in the universe, scientists are still uncertain how those elements combined on Earth to produce the simplest cells --and how complex cells eventually developed. Dr. Adam investigates both of these major questions and some associated assumptions. One of those assumptions is that the origin of life must have required water. But there is an alternative. Another common view is that complex cells must have evolved just once --i.e., from a single common source. In this discussion Dr. Adam provides the background for these notions and then discusses his efforts and those of his colleagues to unravel the two great enigmas of life. This research is important not only for understanding life on Earth, but for the search for potential life elsewhere in the universe.

The Hour of Land: A Personal Topography of America's National Parks
Thursday, August 11
7:00 PM
Harvard Book Store, 1256 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge
Harvard Book Store welcomes award-winning author of fifteen previous books TERRY TEMPEST WILLIAMS for a discussion of her latest book, The Hour of Land: A Personal Topography of America's National Parks, just as the National Park Service celebrates its Centennial this August.
About The Hour of Land
America’s national parks are breathing spaces in a world in which such spaces are steadily disappearing, which is why more than 300 million people visit the parks each year. Now Terry Tempest Williams, the author of the environmental classic Refuge and the beloved memoir When Women Were Birds, returns with The Hour of Land, a literary celebration of our national parks, an exploration of what they mean to us and what we mean to them.
From the Grand Tetons in Wyoming to Acadia in Maine to Big Bend in Texas and more, Williams creates a series of lyrical portraits that illuminate the unique grandeur of each place while delving into what it means to shape a landscape with its own evolutionary history into something of our own making. Part memoir, part natural history, and part social critique, The Hour of Land is a meditation and a manifesto on why wild lands matter to the soul of America.

DIRECTOR, BUSINESS + PARTNER DEVELOPMENT, ECO DISTRICTS
organicARCHITECT is the office of Eric Corey Freed, LEED AP, Hon. FIGP, a licensed architect (California, New Mexico, Arizona), and a recognized pioneer in the tradition of Organic Architecture, first developed by Frank Lloyd Wright. A lifetime proponent of individualism and sustainability, Eric Corey Freed knew he wanted to be an architect at the early age of eight.
As a licensed architect, Eric brings over 20 years of experience in helping architects, builders and homeowners use sustainability to improve the design and operational savings for thousands of buildings around the country. Companies like Autodesk, Pixar, Apple and Lowe’s have hired Eric to help them incorporate deeper sustainability into their businesses.

He is also co-founder of Architect Exam Prep, providing innovative study guides for young architects.

With our roots in Portland, Oregon, we’ve built a global reputation as a respected nonprofit committed to address the complex, fundamental challenges facing our cities today: Income, education, and health disparities that sit at the root of considerable social unrest. Ecological degradation. The growing threat of climate change. Carrying the burden of producing 80% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions while consuming 80% of the world’s energy.
In partnership with our Founding Members, generous funders and world-renown advisors, we’ve developed the unique EcoDistricts Protocol, a first-of-its-kind, holistic project development framework that makes addressing these challenges achievable. Our work emphasizes the unique proving ground of the district and neighborhood scale, and the critical importance of information sharing to stimulate innovation.
Our vision is to empower practitioners at every stage of our industry with a collaborative professional community, transformative learning experiences, pathways to EcoDistricts project certification and accessible practitioner accreditation. We are committed to a model that eliminates barriers to the exchange of information and peer learning and thereby enable innovation across our industry.

Brexit
Thursday, August 18
6:00 PM to 8:00 PM (EDT)
Workbar, 711 Atlantic Avenue, Boston
Brexit happened: on June 23, 2016, the British people voted to leave the European Union. Many Brits celebrated what they called their Independence Day -- freedom from EU rules, fees, and, perhaps most controversially, immigration laws. While others fear that Brexit will severely damage the British economy and their status as a world powerhouse.
What does this mean for the UK, EU and... us?
Why was the EU formed, and what's it purpose?
Why was the Brexit referendum was raised in the UK?
What are the expected implications of leaving?
...and more.
Speaker:
Professor Graham Wilson is the co-founder and Director of the Boston University Initiative on Cities. Professor Wilson joined the Faculty of Boston University in 2007 where he served as Chair of the Political Science Department until 2015.

The Technical Challenge of Hate Speech, Incitement and Extremism in Social Media
Thursday, August 18
7:00 PM
MIT, Building E51-325, 2 Amherst Street, Cambridge
Andre Oboler
This talk is being sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society Distinguished Visitor program.
The primary challenge is working out how to identify incitement and hate speech given: (a) the volume of content creation in social media (b) the use of videos, images, coded language, local references etc (c) the changing nature of the expression over time (d) limitations that prevent governments demanding access to non-public data.
The approach my organisation uses relies on crowd sourcing, artificial intelligence and cloud computing. It enables content to be evaluated by people, but then quality controls the response of the crowd through AI.
Dr Andre Oboler is CEO of the Online Hate Prevention Institute, an Australian charity combating racism, bigotry and extremism in social media. He also serves as an expert on the Australian Government's Delegation to the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance, co-chair of the Working Group on Antisemitism on the Internet and in the Media for the Global Forum to Combat Antisemitism, and as a Vice Chair of the IEEE Computer Society's Member and Geographic Activities Board. Dr Oboler holds a PhD in Computer Science from Lancaster University (UK), a Juris Doctor from Monash University (Australia) and completed a Post Doctoral Fellowship in Political Science at Bar-Ilan University (Israel). His research interests include empirical software engineering, process improvement, hate speech in social media and the social implications of technology.

This joint meeting of the Boston Chapter of the IEEE Computer Society and GBC/ACM will be held in MIT Room E51-325. E51 is the Tang Center on the corner of Wadsworth and Amherst Sts and Memorial Dr.; it's mostly used by the Sloan School. You can see it on this map of the MIT campus. Room 325 is on the 3rd floor.

How to Become a Digital Nomad Lessons Learned Through Location Independence
Monday, August 22
6:00 PM to 7:00 PM (EDT)
Plug Cambridge, 618 Cambridge Street, Cambridge
Thanks to advances in technology and the resulting growth in remote work, the 9 to 5 and traditional brick and mortar office are becoming increasingly antiquated. In its place are coworking spaces, the gig economy, and newfound freedom to work from anywhere. The location independent movement is about empowering people to live the life they deserve, on their own terms. The motivations behind this movement have led to the rise of digital nomads (those who combine work and travel) who seek to work in places that inspire creativity and collaborate across industries and cultures. These trends have significant implications for the future of work.
We love to see people getting more fulfillment out of their lives while concurrently advancing their careers. In How to Become a Digital Nomad - Lessons Learned Through Location Independence we will discuss the growing ecosystem around location independence, the resources available, and travel tips for those who are interested in the digital nomad lifestyle. This will be a presentation followed by an open Q&A.

PSFC Seminar: Outlook towards a Commercial Fusion Reactor
Friday, August 26
10:30a–11:30a
MIT, Building NW17-218, 175 Albany Street, Cambridge
Speaker: Guenter Janeschitz
When one extrapolates from today's knowledge on ITER construction, even considering that ITER could have been built much more economically, it is clear that a fusion power plant will cost > 10 to 15 BE. Therefore in order to have an economically attractive fusion reactor it will need to produce a large amount of power (on the order of 2 GW electric delivered to the grid). Due to the fact that such a machine will need ~500 MW for its own use, it has to produce 2.5 GW electric which means a fusion power of > 5 GW and thus a thermal power > 6 GW. The possible size (R~10 m) and reasonably conservative physics basis of such a machine will be briefly described. If successful in achieving advanced physics in a burning plasma, e.g. in ITER, then the machine can be made slightly smaller but the principle arguments for a large machine will not change significantly.
Key technologies and their status will be discussed with particular emphasis on realistic blanket and divertor designs, and the size and issues of a tritium plant as well as the challenges which have to be overcome beyond what is needed for ITER. In particular the fact that such a machine will be nuclear (neutron fluency/streaming, corrosion effects, safety, contamination, radiation level for personnel, etc) will make many concepts shown today regarding blanket, divertor design, maintenance, etc., in reactor studies not viable.

Harvard Book Store welcomes senior scientist at the Women’s Studies Research Center at Brandeis University ROSALIND C. BARNETT and award-winning jouranlist CARYL RIVERS for a discussion of their book The Age of Longevity: Re-Imagining Tomorrow for Our New Long Lives.
About The Age of Longevity
Long, productive lives are the destiny of most of us, not just the privilege of our great-grandchildren. The story of aging is not one of steady decline and decay; we need a new narrative based on solid research, not scare stories. Today Americans enjoy a new, healthy stage of life, between roughly 65 and 79, during which we are staying engaged in the workplace, starting new relationships and careers, remaining creative and becoming entrepreneurs and job creators.
We are in the midst of a major paradigm shift in the way we live. Our major milestones are shifting. The definition of “normal” behavior is changing. Today, we marry later or not at all; cohabitation is not just a stepping stone to marriage, but a long-term arrangement for many. Women often have their first child in their 40s, and increasingly before they marry. People enjoy active sex lives well into their 6th, 7th or even 8th decades. None of our institutions will remain the same.
People are working longer, and given the declining birth rate, older workers will be in great demand. Four generations are increasingly working side by side, learning from each other. But we must ensure that the benefits of long life are not limited to a wealthy few.
The Age of Longevity shows how we as a society can embrace the life-altering changes that are either coming in the near future or are already underway. The authors give readers a panoramic view of how they, the institutions that affect them, and the country as a whole will need to adapt to what’s ahead. They offer strategies, based on cutting-edge research, that will enable individuals, institutions, companies, and governments to make the most of our lengthening life spans. Using real life examples throughout, the authors paint a picture of what our new longer lives will look like, and the changes that need to be made so we can all make those years both more productive and more enjoyable.

The Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tuft University is pleased to accept applications to its Online Graduate Certificate Program in Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems.
This program, in its third year, is ideal for professionals engaged in a variety of food-related businesses and organizations, as well as others interested in implementing sustainable practices for their organizations, partners, and communities.
Because the program is 100% online, students can live and work anywhere in the world and study with the Friedman School’s renowned faculty, while earning graduate credit from Tufts University.
Course offerings and descriptions are below (courses may be completed individually or as a part of the graduate certificate program):
NUTC 261: Sustainability on the Farm (fall semester, begins September 6, 2016)
Agriculture is the single largest user of land and water and, thus, has broad environmental impacts. Gains in yield productivity over the last five decades have met increasing demands without increasing agricultural area in the U.S., but environmental, economic and social costs have been considerable. In this first course of the series, the farm level primary costs and benefits will be analyzed, along with a profile of current conventional and alternative approaches to food production in the U.S. Students will examine the policy response to environmental and conservation concerns, focusing on the balance between meeting increased demand while mitigating environmental and social costs.
NUTC 262: Sustainable Food Systems and Markets (spring semester)
The food sector, one of the largest components of the U.S. economy, includes transforming raw agricultural products and moving them to retail points of contact. Although highly integrated and increasingly global, the food system does not provide equal access to all consumers and significant food losses occur at all stages of the supply chain. In this course, students will analyze causes of the market failure to provide equal access; explore solutions to minimize losses within the food system; and evaluate alternative supply chains, including values-based, direct to consumer, and food hubs.
NUTC 263: Sustainability and the Food Consumer (summer semester)
Every day, we make numerous choices about what to eat - and what not to eat. How do consumers and households make these choices, and how can the environments in which we make these choices be shaped to enhance sustainability without sacrificing our health or enjoyment of food? In this course we draw upon insights from economics, psychology, marketing, and nutrition to explore topics such as current food consumption patterns, determinants of food choice, the role of food labeling and market-based initiatives in enhancing sustainability, and the impact of regulation and "nudges" on consumer behavior around food.

Last fall, Solve (solve.mit.edu/) convened technologists, philanthropists, business leaders, policymakers, and change agents like you from around the world to examine and address problems where technology, business innovation, and smart policy can be leveraged to bring about real and lasting change.
The Solve program is organized around four “pillars”: Fuel, Learn, Cure, and Make. This year’s program poses three “challenges” within those pillars. Of particular note to the sustainability community are the Fuel challenges:
Fuel:
Carbon price
How can new technologies (including digital currencies like Bitcoin) be used to put a price on emissions of carbon and other greenhouse gases?
Negative carbon emissions
How do we remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere in a way that is scalable, economical, and ethical?
What can you do right now?
The program is actively seeking proposals for these Fuel challenges. We encourage you to log in to the Solve CoLab platform (http://solvecolab.mit.edu) to propose solutions. A distinguished panel of judges will select semifinalists, who will present their solutions at the Solve at HUBweek event, September 27 and 28, 2016. Registration for the Solve at HUBweek events is now open at www.hubweek.org.
Thank you for your continued support of the Solve program. Together, we can bring about real and lasting solutions to the world’s most challenging problems.
Editorial Comment: I’ve alerted my contacts in the Geotherapy movement for enhanced soil carbon sequestration about this opportunity. May they pick up on it.

Discounted Solar for Somerville
As part of the State’s Solarize Mass program, local volunteers and the City of Somerville recently launched the Solarize Somerville campaign to make it easier and cheaper for residents and small businesses to install solar panels.
The program, which is offering information and guidance, free site consultations, and solar panel discounts through November, has set an ambitious goal to inspire at least 200 property owners to sign up for solar —and each of those private solar installations will also benefit the community directly. For every 400 kW in signed private contracts through the program, the program’s solar vendor SolarFlair will donate a system of up to 5 kW for a public or community purpose. All are invited to the program kickoff at a Meet the Installer event on Tuesday, July 26 at 6-7:30 p.m., 167 Holland St. Additional events on topics such as solar basics, financing, and solar for multifamily homes will be announced.
Unique to the program is its neighbor-to-neighbor approach: trained resident volunteers and a designated volunteer Solar Coach are available essentially as mentors. They can, for example, walk anyone through the process, provide general loan program and tax incentive information, and share their own solar experiences. The campaign’s webpage and blog offers useful information, tips, and a link to websites where you can estimate the solar potential of your home and roughly calculate how much solar could save you on your energy bills at www.somervillema.gov/sustainaville/solarize.
Somerville is one of the most urban communities ever to participate in Solarize Mass, which makes the neighbor-to-neighbor approach especially helpful due to some of the unique challenges here such as multi-family houses with more than one owner. Winter Hill resident Mary Mangan, the program’s volunteer Solar Coach, went through that process and is ready to share helpful tips.
"I'm excited to work with our eager volunteers to help our neighbors understand the benefits of solar power. As a co-owner of a two-family home with solar, I can also offer some insights about how that process went for us," said Mangan.
Also key to the program is the selection of a designated vendor, which allows the program to offer reduced cost installation through bulk purchasing. Through a competitive process, SolarFlair, based in Ashland, MA, was selected. They were also the selected installer for the communities of Arlington, Hopkinton, Mendon, Brookline, Carlisle-Chelmsford, Newton, and Quincy.
"We're excited to be the selected installer for Solarize Somerville, and look forward to speaking with any home or business owners that are interested in reducing their electric bills while also making a great investment," said Matt Arner, the owner and President of SolarFlair.
Quick facts:
Solar systems can be purchased outright (with a payback of about 4-5 years). The Mass Solar Loan program offers rates of 3.25% or less.
Or, for no money down owners can choose a power purchase agreement (PPA), where the system is owned and maintained by a third party, and residents buy back the electricity at a discounted price.
More on-site renewable energy is critical to reducing carbon emissions. It also saves money for residents.
Tax incentives for solar installations include:
Federal Tax Credit: A 30 percent federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) is available for qualified residential and commercial projects
Massachusetts Personal Income Tax Credit: The lesser of 15% of the total cost of the solar electric system or $1,000, for qualified clean energy projects
Five-year Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS): Business owners can depreciate solar electric systems over a five-year schedule

Cambridge Residents: Free Home Thermal Images
Have you ever wanted to learn where your home is leaking heat by having an energy auditor come to your home with a thermal camera? With that info you then know where to fix your home so it's more comfortable and less expensive to heat. However, at $200 or so, the cost of such a thermal scan is a big chunk of change.
HEET Cambridge has now partnered with Sagewell, Inc. to offer Cambridge residents free thermal scans.
Sagewell collects the thermal images by driving through Cambridge in a hybrid vehicle equipped with thermal cameras. They will scan every building in Cambridge (as long as it's not blocked by trees or buildings or on a private way). Building owners can view thermal images of their property and an analysis online. The information is password protected so that only the building owner can see the results.
Homeowners, condo-owners and landlords can access the thermal images and an accompanying analysis free of charge. Commercial building owners and owners of more than one building will be able to view their images and analysis for a small fee.
The scans will be analyzed in the order they are requested.
Go to Sagewell.com. Type in your address at the bottom where it says "Find your home or building" and press return. Then click on "Here" to request the report.
That's it. When the scans are done in a few weeks, your building will be one of the first to be analyzed. The accompanying report will help you understand why your living room has always been cold and what to do about it.
With knowledge, comes power (or in this case saved power and money, not to mention comfort).
