Outdoor Awareness and Usage Survey

(Time is short and this is the last chance to let your voice be heard by taking the “Outdoor Awareness and Usage Survey”. The Survey closes on Monday, March 5, 2007. Thanks to those of you who have already signed up.)

For the second week in a row Sustainable Pittsburgh and its Outdoor Recreation Partners, in collaboration with Campos Inc., invite you to help us better understand the region’s awareness and usage of outdoor amenities and recreation opportunities. By joining the Campos Voice of the Region (VOR) panel to voice your opinion on outdoor awareness and usage, you will enlighten outdoor recreation service providers and help Sustainable Pittsburgh and Outdoor Recreation Partners to better understand how to serve you.

This Voice of the Region survey, which will take approximately 10 minutes to complete, will help us better understand the Pittsburgh region’s attitudes about "enjoying outdoors” and participating in recreation activities.

We invite you to take part in this survey by becoming a member of the Campos Voice of the Region opinion panel. VOR panelists share their knowledge and opinions about regional issues, such as outdoor recreation, via online surveys and receive periodic updates on what other panelists are saying.

It's easy to join! Become a member by clicking on the link below or by calling the Voice of the Region hotline at (412) 471-8484 x409. Please feel free to invite your family, friends and colleagues to join the panel by forwarding them this email.

PA DEP Secretary Dedicates Solar Power System at DEP Southeast Regional Office

Pennsylvania Environmental Protection Secretary Kathleen A. McGinty today unveiled a 4.8- kilowatt solar power system on the roof of DEP's Southeast Regional Office Building in Norristown that will conserve electricity and provide emergency power to critical systems that protect public health and safety. The 30-module photovoltaic system will produce clean electricity and demonstrate the usefulness and reliability of solar power, which is an important component of Governor Rendell's Energy Independence Strategy that will cut Pennsylvania consumers' energy costs by $10 billion over 10 years. "This solar system showcases how the use of alternative energy, combined with the advanced energy efficiency and conservation technologies in use at the Southeast Regional Office, can conserve electricity and meet Governor Rendell's aggressive goals for production of clean energy," Secretary McGinty said. "Solar power is an important piece of the Governor's strategy to dramatically reduce energy costs for homes and businesses, create new jobs and strengthen our economy by increasing the production and use of renewable energy."

Grave port problems

The feds have a very inefficient way of funding the system, says Mr. McCarville of the deferred maintenance of many of the aging locks and dams. "Congress didn't take the problem seriously but now realizes it's a huge problem." "Huge" as in a billion dollars for just one sorely needed project.

Pedestrian & Bicycle Committee: Bicycle Survey For Western Pennsylvania

Earth Jurisprudence

The dominant legal philosophies and laws both reflect and perpetuate the prevailing worldview that the Earth is merely a collection of 'resources' or objects which human beings are entitled to exploit for their exclusive benefit. A new Earth Law - or Earth jurisprudence - is essential if global human society is to achieve the radical shift in beliefs and attitudes that will be necessary to save the planet from ecological disaster.

Wind turbines spinning around region

The blades atop the 110-foot tower on the campus of Slippery Rock University started spinning just about a month ago. In that time, the windmill - or the wind turbine, as they're now called - has produced enough electricity to power 18 average homes for one day. That's minuscule when compared with the massive wind farms in the West, or even to the row of huge turbines spinning alongside the Pennsylvania Turnpike in Somerset County. ... The small wind turbine at Slippery Rock probably would be similar to one erected in Hopewell Township, where commissioners just decided to study weather patterns to see whether a turbine could help with the township's electricity costs. They're becoming more common in the region, thanks in part to the state, which has handed out grants through several programs to help pay for the pricy systems. Economy will be one of the more recent beneficiaries in the spring, when a fully funded system goes up near the municipal building on Conway-Wallrose Road. Manager Randy Kunkle said he's looking forward to the day when the electric meter on the building starts slowing down.

Region at back of the pack in pursuit of immigrants

Less than 1 percent of metropolitan Pittsburgh's population in the last census were foreigners who had lived here for five years or less. That rate trailed not only bigger East Coast cities and high-growth metros in the South and West, but also Rust Belt neighbors Buffalo and Cleveland. "I used to joke in the '90s that you could double the amount of immigrants we have here, and we'd still be ranked near the bottom. I think the amount of immigration here has gone up recently, but we're still probably ranked near the bottom," said Chris Briem, a regional economist with the University of Pittsburgh Center for Social and Urban Research.

Fueling the Future

“Right now, we have enough capacity to take the City of Pittsburgh’s vehicles off petroleum,” points out Doyno. “We’re talking with the city now and they’ve agreed to put as much as 50 percent of their vehicles on biodiesel by summer. They’re really trying to be innovative.”..Doyno is the first to admit that. But he quickly adds that locally biodiesel could account for up to 20 percent of fuel needs. And that’s a big piece of the energy puzzle. According to the Wall St. Journal, in 2006 North American venture investment in "clean tech" nearly doubled from $1.6 billion the year before to $2.9 billion. If oil prices plummet, they warn, it will take away some of the financial incentives of switching to alternative energy.

Handbook of High-Impact State and Local Solutions

It offers policy solutions to the growing crisis recently identified in the Center's Paycheck to Paycheck study, which found that many healthcare professionals, along with other community workers, are priced out of homeownership in the majority of markets across the country.
