SUMMARY:Philly Unwrapped Community Waste Reduction Engagement Session
DESCRIPTION:Philly Unwrapped\, come let your voice be heard about waste reduction and reuse in Philadelphia! \nPhiladelphia spends millions every year managing waste. Almost nothing prevents it. At the same time\, food and beverage businesses are required to purchase single-use packaging that increases operating costs and contributes to pollution that disproportionately impacts Black and Brown communities where waste is processed and incinerated. \nThere may be a better\, less wasteful way — and it saves money and protects public health. \nPhilly Unwrapped is bringing together restaurant owners\, cafés\, caterers\, corner stores\, food trucks\, event venues\, hospitality operators\, community leaders\, and public officials to explore practical waste prevention strategies that work in Philadelphia. \nWhat This Is\nJoin ECHO Systems\, The Sustainable Business Network of Greater Philadelphia\, Rethink Disposable’s Clean Water Fund and Trash Academy in this informative and engaging community event. \nLearn How to Use the Philly Unwrapped Community Waste Reduction Toolkit — a free\, practical resource designed specifically for local food-sector businesses.\nCase studies show that businesses implementing reuse and waste prevention strategies save between $3\,000–$22\,000 annually\, while reducing trash volume\, improving operational efficiency\, and strengthening customer loyalty. Attendees will be able to join a funding consortium to demonstrate business need and interest in supporting a just transition toward reuse and waste prevention.\nThis event includes a community listening session. We want to hear directly from residents and business owners about concerns\, barriers\, and opportunities as we work to attract funding and build a just transition. \nWho Should Attend \nRestaurant\, café\, and food truck owners\nCaterers and event operators\nCorner store and grocery operators\nHospitality managers\nCommunity leaders and residents\nInstitutions and neighborhood organizations\nWe warmly invite City Council members\, local representatives\, community development corporations\, business improvement districts\, and neighborhood organizations to join this conversation. Advancing waste prevention presents an opportunity to strengthen fiscal stewardship\, support local businesses\, and protect public health — and we look forward to working together to explore what that can look like for Philadelphia. \nWhat You’ll Walk Away With\nClear\, implementable cost-saving strategies\nAccess to the free Philly-specific Toolkit\nEarly information about upcoming grant opportunities and how to participate in the funding consortium\nConnections to a growing network of local businesses and partners\nAn opportunity to help shape future funding and policy priorities\nThis is not a lecture. It’s a practical working session focused on real-world solutions. \nEvent Details \nLocation: PHMC — 4601 Market Street\, Philadelphia\, PA \nTransportation: Free onsite parking available at 47th & Haverford (see attached map) Also walking distance from the L \nTime: 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM- arrive promptly \nOther Details: Light fare + coffee provided\nCost: Free — registration required\nFunding provided by EPA Region 3’s Thriving Communities – Green & Healthy Homes Initiative.\nWith support from the Story of stuff project and a generous match from Jeffery A Miller catering\nCoffee provided by High Point Cafe. \nShow less\nPHMC

SUMMARY:Profs & Pints Philadelphia: Satanic Panics
DESCRIPTION:Profs and Pints Philadelphia presents: “Satanic Panics\,” a look at waves of fear of demonic activity as an American tradition\, with Luxx Mishou\, cultural historian and former instructor at the U.S. Naval Academy and area community colleges. \nThe 1980s found the United States gripped by fear of Satanic cults targeting children. They were believed to be corrupting young ones in daycare centers and tempting teens through subliminal messages on heavy metal albums or through the quiet inclusion of demonic rituals in role-playing games. Satanic serial killers supposedly stalked the suburbs. Doctors helped patients uncover what were claimed to be repressed memories of ritualistic satanic abuse. \nParents\, police\, and politicians were urged to protect impressionable youths from both moral and physical danger. With Satanic cults deemed to be a real and material threat\, it was a frightening time for everyone\, including those who suddenly came under suspicion for doing evil deeds. \nThen\, suddenly\, it all faded from public consciousness\, just as surely as did eighties fads such mullet haircuts\, leg warmers\, and Cabbage Patch Kids. \nWhy did it all start? Why did it stop? And has this happened before or since? \nHear such questions tackled by Luxx Mishou\, a cultural historian and media specialist who has long researched the devious and villainous in cultural artifacts. She’ll discuss moral panics as a longstanding cultural tradition\, with each new one stemming from fear of cultural shifts and shaped by the time and place where it occurred. Among the panics we’ll look into are the Red Scare of the 1950s and the public response to the gruesome 1969 murders committed by the Manson Family. \nDelving into the 1980s panic\, Mishou will describe how it began with the 1980 publication of psychiatrist Lawrence Pazder’s memoir Michelle Remembers\, detailing the suppressed memories of ritualistic abuse reportedly suffered by a patient. As that book quickly became a best seller\, its ideas saturated American culture. A California daycare center became the focus of a three-year investigation\, followed by three years of trials\, based on allegations that its owner had engaged in secret ritualistic abuse of the children in its care. \nMishou will lead you through the media that convinced the public that devil worshipers were among them\, and she’ll talk about how reactions to imagined threats can have very real social costs. (Advance tickets: $13.50 plus processing fees. Doors: $17\, or $15 with a student ID. Doors open at 3:30 pm. Talk starts at 4:30.) \nImage by Canva.

SUMMARY:Help Preserve the Nation's History-One Document at a Time! at Parkway Central Library
DESCRIPTION:Discover how you can help deepen our understanding of American history by transcribing original post–Civil War documents. Your work will uncover stories of family\, resilience\, and community in the years following Emancipation.\nIn this Acts of Science: Connected program\, Smithsonian experts will introduce the Freedmen’s Bureau records\, explain their significance\, and share why your participation matters. Together\, we’ll explore how these documents illuminate the lives of formerly enslaved people during Reconstruction and why preserving them is vital for research and education. \nThis nationwide effort—led by the National Museum of African American History and Culture\, the Smithsonian Transcription Center\, and the Free Library of Philadelphia—aims to transcribe more than 1.7 million images\, making this the largest crowdsourcing project in Smithsonian history. \nThe event will be livestreamed via Zoom.

SUMMARY:Author Talk | Extraction
DESCRIPTION:Thea Riofrancos will be in conversation with Malcolm Harris about Riofranco’s latest book\, Extraction: The Frontiers of Green Capitalism\, an in-depth analysis into the growing industry of green technologies and the environmental\, social\, and political consequences of the mining it requires. \nDrawing on groundbreaking fieldwork in Chile\, Nevada\, and Portugal\, Riofrancos explores the environmental and social costs of the global race to expand lithium mining amid supply chain concerns. With haunting descriptions of vulnerable ecosystems\, she examines how mining harms landscapes\, provokes protest\, takes center stage in national politics\, and links countries on the peripheries of the world economy to huge corporations\, commodity markets\, and powerful investors. While an unregulated mining boom could inflict irreversible harm\, Riofrancos offers compelling ideas about how to harmonize climate action with social justice. \nThea Riofrancos is an Associate Professor of Political Science at Providence College\, a Strategic Co-Director of the Climate and Community Institute\, and a fellow at the Transnational Institute. \nMalcolm Harris is the author of the national bestseller Palo Alto: A History of California\, Capitalism\, and the World. His latest book is What’s Left: Three Paths Through the Planetary Crisis. \nRegistration encouraged\, but not required
