Call to Action: Bracken Burns, Commissioner, Washington County

The presence of blighted and abandoned properties is among Southwestern Pennsylvania's most pressing threats undermining sustainable communities and regional equitable development. Blight and abandonment is a tip of the iceberg issue that undermines and potentially exacts a downward spiral sentence on quality of life and prosperity across social, economic and environmental essentials for a sustainable community. Without mitigation, this problem will continue to grow and be a drain on the region’s resources. It undercuts the ability of the region's communities to maintain their footing as places of choice. There are real costs. As the Statewide Blight Task Force noted in 2008, “Blight is an “economic crime” costing taxpayers and municipalities millions of dollars annually in lost property tax revenues, sewer and water fees, and increased municipal expenditures.”

Addressing blight and abandonment offers the chance to build assets in a community. It is a win-win strategy that pays in stabilizing neighborhoods, increased revenue, job creation, increase in property values and lower crime. Given the regional nature of this issue, regional approaches are in order. However, at present, there exists no regional plan, decision-making table, nor coordinated regional effort to tackle the growing crisis of abandonment and blight in our communities.

This year's Summit will present findings are recommendations from recent work, specific to our region, on how regional capacity can be developed to address blight and abandonment. Practical strategies and cooperative efforts will be highlighted as ripe for deployment to the benefit of individual communities and the regional as a whole. The Summit will be a key milestone in developing new structures and well-substantiated plans for raising capacity around the region to attack blight and return properties to community benefit and often local tax rolls.

Keynote, John Kromer is Senior Consultant at the Fels Institute of Government and is the author of Fixing Broken Cities: The Implementation of Urban Development Strategies. He is a serving as strategic consultant to Sustainable Pittsburgh's Regional Blighted and Abandoned Properties Solutions Project.

No Impact Man: An Evening with Colin Beavan

7:30 pm - 9:00 pm (with a book signing afterward)
Edinboro University, Pogue Student Center
Light refreshments will be served.
Admission is free because of a grant from the Black Family Foundation.
More information

"Colin Beavan is a liberal schlub who got tired of listening to himself complain about the world without ever actually doing anything about it..." Thus, in November, 2006, Beavan launched a year-long project in which he, his wife, his two-year-old daughter and his four-year-old dog went off the grid and attempted to live in the middle of New York City with as little environmental impact as possible.

The point of the project was to experiment with ways of living that might both improve quality of life and be less harmful to the planet. It also provided a narrative vehicle by which to attract broad public attention to the range of pressing environmental crises including: food system sustainability, climate change, water scarcity, and materials and energy resource depletion.

Beavan's experiment in lifestyle redesign is the subject of his book (Farrar, Straus & Giroux) and a Sundance-selected documentary by independent film producers Laura Gabbert (Sunset Story, Getting to Know You) and Eden Wurmfeld (The Hammer, Puccini for Beginners, Kissing Jessica Stein). Beavan writes and administers the provocative environmental blog NoImpactMan.Com, which has become a meeting point for discussion of environmental issues from a "deep green" perspective. In addition to some 2,500 daily visitors and 4,000 daily page views, the site has 10,000 email and "newsreader" subscribers. About 1.8 million people have visited the blog since he established it a year and a half ago.

No fee to attend. Bring a bag lunch.

Community developers and planners unite! Let's not go out with a whimper.

What's a planner to do now that funding from the state and community investment in good planning is drying up to a trickle? How can we demonstrate community planning is nonexpendable? Come join us for a brown bag (bring your lunch) forum to discuss just how critical we know planning is to community and regional prosperity and deliberate how to put this imperative back to the priority it deserves. Governor's race, restructuring of state programs, regional planning, municipal cooperation... all topics for consideration.

This gathering will feature a presentation by Ed Boito of PA Works! followed by a panel reaction and group discussion.

More information

This free half-day workshop is for small- to mid-sized manufacturers wanting to explore the business opportunities related to the regional wind energy supply chain. Participants will learn about the structure of the wind energy supply chain and the components that are most in demand globally, what original equipment manufacturers in the wind energy industry look for in their suppliers and how capable regional manufacturers from targeted sectors can take advantage of growing supply chain prosperity in this alternative energy sector. Sectors targeted as potential matches for the wind energy supply chain include metal fabricators and foundries, machine shops and manufacturers of bearings, plastics, coatings, controls and electrical equipment and components (including turbines, generators, motors and fans). A case study from an existing regional manufacturer already involved in the wind energy supply chain will also be presented.

Pine Creek Watershed Conservation Plan Public Meeting Dates Scheduled

Thursday, January 28, 2010
6:30 pm – 8:00 pm
Rose Barn in North Park
Backup date is Thursday, February 4 if there is a meeting cancellation due to weather.

As reported in the October North Area Environmental Council (NAEC) Newsletter, NAEC and the Pine Creek Watershed Coalition (PCWC) are developing a Pine Creek Watershed Conservation Plan. The Pine Creek Watershed includes Bradford Woods, Etna, Franklin Park, Fox Chapel, Hampton, Indiana, Marshall, McCandless, O’Hara, Pine, Richland, Ross, Shaler, and Sharpsburg.

A Watershed Conservation Plan is a combination of watershed research and public opinion that works to restore, maintain, and enhance watershed resources. Local citizen participation in the planning effort is key to ensuring that the Watershed Conservation Plan responds to their community’s needs and concerns. Projects recommended in the plan will become eligible for future state and federal funding.

The first round of public meetings was held in June 2009 to provide input and identify issues and concerns related to the study. Using the information from these public meetings, public survey results, interviews with key watershed stakeholders, and the continued coordination with the plan’s study committee, draft management strategies and action plans are now being developed. The January 28 meeting is an additional opportunity for the public to provide input on the content of the management strategies and action plans and to prioritize them in a manner that will benefit not only the natural elements, but also the social fabric of the watershed. The meeting format will include an approximate 20-minute presentation of the watershed plan, management strategies, and action items. Following the presentation, several workshop areas will be set up, and the public will be invited to participate in a prioritization exercise and will discuss in small groups the strategies and action plans.

15th Annual Heinz Awards

The Heinz Awards pay tribute to the memory of H. John Heinz III by celebrating those who embrace, as he did, the joyous American belief that individuals have both the power and responsibility to change the world for the better. As a reminder of the virtues of hard work, determination, excellence and a broad vision for the future, the Heinz Family Foundation annually recognizes a special group of individuals for their outstanding contributions. Teresa Heinz recently honored 10 Americans at the 15th Heinz Awards ceremony in Washington D.C. for their innovative efforts in solving some of the world's most pressing environmental concerns.

Making commercial buildings greener, environmentally friendly

On the tenant side, many clients now express a preference for green buildings, asking about LEED ratings (most buildings have none), what types of recycled materials are used throughout the building, and how much water the decorative plantings need. . . Meanwhile, back at Limbach, Mr. Bacon speaks excitedly about the economic impact of the retro-commissioning projects that his company is pursuing. Limbach has hired about 30 people for the work so far; if all of the projects being pursued come to pass, the company may need to hire about 500 people. And beyond that, "another few thousand jobs are created to supply everything that's needed to do all of those retrofits," he said.

Heinz On Track to Reduce Waste, Water, Energy Impacts by 20 Percent

With the release of its 2009 corporate social responsibility (CSR) report, the H.J. Heinz Company this morning unveiled its progress on achieving its environmental goals of cutting its footprint by 20 percent across four categories by 2015. The report shows that the company is well on its way: compared to the 2005 baseline Heinz is using as a target, it has made significant progress in cutting its greenhouse gas emissions, solid waste, energy use and water consumption per metric ton of production. Heinz has managed to cut its carbon footprint by 13.4 percent since 2005, its energy use is down 15.8 percent, solid waste generation is down 27.4 percent, and water is down 15.7 percent in the same time frame.

U.S. Climate Bill Could Boost Economy by $111B, Study Says

As Republican senators in the U.S. attempt to delay proposed climate change legislation on the grounds that it could harm the country's economy, a major study from three influential universities suggests that a robust climate bill would have the exact opposite effect and would boost GDP by $111 billion by 2020.

What They Really Believe

If you follow the debate around the energy/climate bills working through Congress you will notice that the drill-baby-drill opponents of this legislation are now making two claims. One is that the globe has been cooling lately, not warming, and the other is that America simply can’t afford any kind of cap-and-trade/carbon tax. But here is what they also surely believe, but are not saying: They believe the world is going to face a mass plague, like the Black Death, that will wipe out 2.5 billion people sometime between now and 2050. They believe it is much better for America that the world be dependent on oil for energy — a commodity largely controlled by countries that hate us and can only go up in price as demand increases — rather than on clean power technologies that are controlled by us and only go down in price as demand increases. And, finally, they believe that people in the developing world are very happy being poor — just give them a little running water and electricity and they’ll be fine. They’ll never want to live like us.

WESCO sustainability summits energize purchasing to go green

"Educating our customers on the business case for green is a critical part of the sustainability movement," he says. "Most attendees at the summits recognize the importance of green and sustainability, but just aren't sure how to begin or how to proceed. By bringing together national and local sustainability experts, and combining that with educational tracks and a technology showcase, attendees quickly learn that going green is a profitable move for their organization."

Zero Waste Pittsburgh Really Cleans Up

Pennsylvania Resources Council's Dave Mazza joins Matthew Craig to explain how this new service can help business, institutions and special events like The Allegheny Front's own Holiday Happy Hour.

Mass Transit’s Reversal of Fortune

Meanwhile, Phoenix has considered selling naming rights to its new light rail line, as if it was a gridiron and not a railroad. Cleveland has already sold the rights for a bus line’s name to a hospital. And rather than simply raise fares across the board, many agencies that have implemented technologically sophisticated fare-collection systems are considering variable pricing schemes that would adjust fares according to not only distance, as some agencies already do, but also time of day. . . While federal bailouts and assistance money has flowed to finance houses and automakers, transit agencies have been getting short shrift as they struggle to convey a significant portion of America’s workers to those jobs that remain. By many accounts, transportation funding generally favors driving, with 80 percent of funding dedicated to roads and 20 percent to transit, and federal money is not generally allowed to be used for operations for any agency serving a population of over 200,000.

Identity Theft for Cities

If we’re going to promote regionalism —- and we should -— we need to go in with eyes wide open, knowing that we undermine regional strength when we fail to invest in making vibrant places. When in the name of regionalism the only politically correct meeting place is at an expressway off-ramp, we are consigning ourselves to ever more sprawl. For fear of putting a stake in the ground that any one place in the region matters more than others, we doom our regions to having no places of distinction.

Architects Envision "Algae Pontoon" Parks Linking Brooklyn, Manhattan, Governors Island

Riffing off the intentions of the original 1930s Works Progress Administration, the competition looked for ways that public works projects could be reimagined and redefined for the country's future--especially in the light of the $150 billion planned to be allocated to utilities and infrastructure development in the U.S. . ."Carbon T.A.P.// Tunnel Algae Park" was designed by PORT Architecture + Urbanism, with offices in Chicago and New York, and works like a carbon-emissions recycling center that creates greenspace at the same time. The pontoons would attract carbon dioxide from cars and other vehicles and use them in bio-fuel production, and the areas containing the algae would be turned into a vast urban park that included wetlands, aquatic and avian habitats and recreational facilities like bike lanes and promenades.
