Jessica Mahr is the Director of Technology and Gabriel Watson is a Manager for Data Science and Applications for the Environmental Policy Innovation Center (EPIC), a group of diehard #conservationists, #researchers, #advocates, and #technologists unsatisfied with the pace of change in their field. Their work spans programs like #technology, #restoration and #mitigation, #agriculture, and #waterโbut the common thread across EPIC is that they work like a start-up, care about outcomes, and try to bring new ideas to this crowded space; hence their focus on innovation.

Tony Kono began his career in communications as a Senior publicist and marketing executive with experience developing integrated, proactive media communications programs building on a previous career in financial journalism. As a child, his grandmother sent him to an environmental camp where he learned about estuaries and ecosystems, which sparked his lifelong interest in the environment.
After Superstorm Sandy, Tony reached out to the Mayor of Brick, NJ, John Ducey, to ask how he could help, resulting in his appointment to the Environmental Commission. Tony and his team have had numerous accomplishments within his community, including the โPick Up Brickโ events for school and scout groups, partnering with local NGOs like Clean Ocean Action on Beach Sweeps, Save Barnegat Bay, and of utmost importance, Tony organized his community to save 30 acres of woods from being destroyed for a high-end housing development.
What's next? Stay tuned... Tony and his team are looking at becoming a hub for Community Solar development to vastly expand support to low-income and seniors by reducing the cost of their electricity bills.

In the past few years, 7 crucial insurance carriers have either ceased property coverage in the State of California or severely reduced the coverages offered. On Friday, September 22, 2023, the California Insurance Commissioner announced key changes to the insurance industry in an effort to bring these carriers back.
The question is, will it work? Rex Frazier, President of the Personal Insurance Federation of California (PIFC), discusses these proposed ideas in detail and outlines what the โcatchesโ are.

Stephen Pallrand is the president of Home Front Build. His background in construction, architecture, architectural history, painting, and set design has aided him in pulling together the diverse group of artists, craftsmen, architects, and designers who work on the โCarbonShackโ projects.
His father was a scientist/educator and his mother was an educator and patron of the arts. This exposure to art, science, and education led him to realize that building in an environmentally conscious manner is unimportant if you do not communicate the need and educate the consumer, for there are no green buildings, only green users. Our understanding of the environment is changing radically and so is the fate of the earth based on our actions as a civilization. Art and architecture have always played a critical role in representing the knowledge and culture of a period. Pallrand's use of the CarbonShack projects is to transform our shelters and homes into vehicles of change.

Michael Schneider is the Founder of Streets For All, which is igniting the transportation revolution in Los Angeles, by fighting for bus lanes, bike lanes, and pedestrian improvements, in order to create a healthier environment and stable climate.
As a native Angeleno, it was built into Michaelโs brain from birth that the only way to get around Los Angeles is by driving a car. And starting on his 16th birthday at 8am at the DMV, thatโs how he got around. Until the financial crisis in 2008. With his day job as a tech entrepreneur getting rocky along with the economy, Michael had to make some lifestyle changes โincluding getting rid of his expensive car lease. After a couple years of borrowing his Grandfatherโs classic car โ which was in the shop more than it was usable โ Michael started to experiment with getting around town using a bicycle, something that seemed โcrazyโ and โimpossibleโ to his native LA brain. For the past ten years, Michael has gone all in, just getting around town on his bicycle โ even to and from LAX, including with his wife and 3 kids.

Today I interviewed Sister Loose Clarita and Sister Electra Complex of the Los Angeles Sisterhood.
The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence is a worldwide order of forward-thinking nuns, they are not religious, but moral and ethical by nature. They exist to promulgate universal joy, abolish systematic guilt and hate, through public manifestation and habitual perpetration. They are a 501C3 and raise funds in a grass root manner for the underprivileged.
They all volunteer without discrimination against creed, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation nor labels which divide us. They congregate and serve the communities they live in, where there is one nun all of us are.
https://www.ladragnuns.org/
Sister Loose Clarita, La mexicanita y la mรกs bonita! (Shhhhh, donโt tell the other queens!) I was born in modern Tenochtitlan (Mexico city) and am the daughter of Cuatlicue (Serpent Skirt), female aspect of primordial creation life, death and rebirth and am also the sister of Xochipilli (flower prince), patron of homosexuality, male prostitution, art, dance, flowers, song and health. As a gender non-binary identifying being, my vows center on the representation and inclusivity of Latin-American culture.
Sister Electra-Complex is an anomaly. On one hand, her loudmouth often gets her in trouble, centering her phallic Freudian need for center-stage attention, they seek this in the very way they live their queer lifeโas an unabashed critique of their socialized self. On the other hand, she is the essence of amorโexisting within stereotypes of femininity, a goddess of strength through love and empowerment.

They ask the hard questions to bring asset managers their greatest returns
WHERE in my portfolio do I have the physical climate risk? Which assets are exposed?
WHAT type of hazard -flood or drought -is the most critical and the most damaging for my assets?
WHEN and how frequently could we have this climate risk? How much time do we have to adapt ?
This year Weather Trade Net launched the Climate hazard risk mapping tool.

Dave Johnson, a Stanford Law Professor, attorney and lecturer on society, politics, and the environment returns to ESJ to discuss a structural challenge to progress in environmental and sustainability: Obscene Corruption.
The proof now surfacing of rampant corruption has rendered our political parties, our governmental institutions ( Articles 1, 2 and 3 ), unreliable and undemocratic. Systemic social issues are everywhere:
a) racism in policing, education, employment and opportunity
b) two-tiered legal systems, rich and poor
c) dark money, foreign and domestic
d) religion-infused, anti-choice, anti-female laws
What little recourse still left to us necessarily includes activism, individual and collective

Charles Henry is the President of the Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR), a non-profit organization that works with libraries, cultural institutions, and higher learning communities to improve research, teaching, and learning environments through the digitization and preservation of cultural heritage.
He believes preserving cultural heritage connects us with humanityโs collective experience and knowledge and gives us a sense of identity. However, cultural memory loss can easily occur, and climate change poses a significant threat. In fact, it is believed that 98.8% of American archives are likely to encounter at least one climate risk factor by the year 2100.
CLIR has been working for decades on the preservation and access to cultural heritage. Projects include the Digital Library of the Middle East, one of the worldโs largest online archives of Middle Eastern and North African artifacts, and the HBCU Library Alliance Partnership, which fosters awareness of and access to collections held by Historically Black Colleges and Universities.
