This invisible machine at the core of our economy and society now faces an uncertain future as activists and investors demand change. Is this the end of oil? \n \nBy highlighting the complexities of how oil is embedded in our society – from high finance to cheap consumer goods – The Oil Machine brings together a wide range of voices from oil company executives\, economists\, young activists\, pension fund managers and considers how this machine can be tamed\, dismantled\, or repurposed. \nWe have five to ten years to control our oil addiction\, and yet the licensing of new oil fields continues in direct contradiction with the Paris Climate Agreement. This documentary looks at how the drama of global climate action is playing out in the fight over North Sea oil. \n\n\n\nAbout the Director:Emma Davie is an award-winning filmmaker who also teaches documentary film at Edinburgh College of Art. Her last film BECOMING ANIMAL was co-directed with Peter Mettler and premiered in competition at CPH Dox\, Documenta Madrid\, Edinburgh International Film Festival\, and many other festivals.

SUMMARY:Hybrid Valley Talk: Climate Change in our Watersheds with Marc Peipoch
DESCRIPTION:In-person event hosted at the Valley Green Inn \nRiver watersheds\, like the Wissahickon\, are particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change. Join FOW and Marc Peipoch as he discusses the implications of climate change on our watershed and what we can do in the meantime. \nStreams and rivers drain the land we inhabit and collect everything that occurs on it\, including the developing impacts of climate change. Change is a natural feature of river ecosystems\, but global warming is accelerating these changes and aquatic communities may not be able to keep up with this new pace. \nWhat can we expect in the near future? What can we do to help river ecosystems adapt to these rapid changes? How can we adapt ourselves to it? These are some of the questions for which we will try to find some answers. \nMarc Peipoch\, PhD\, is a freshwater ecologist and a research scientist at the Stroud Water Research Center who investigates the effects of global change on streams and rivers. \nRegister here to attend in person at the Valley Green Inn!\nRegister here to attend virtually on Zoom!

SUMMARY:023 Conference: Regenerative Solutions for Resilient Landscapes – Longwood Gardens
DESCRIPTION:Regenerative Solutions for Resilient Landscapes 2023\nJoin the ELA for the 2023 R & R Conference\, in person at Longwood Gardens \nThursday\, November 9 @ 8:30 EDT-4:30 EDT \nELA will also offer an online opportunity to participate!\nCHANGING CULTURE\nCulture is an aspect of our daily lives that is often taken for granted\, but which permeates almost everything we do. Families\, workplaces\, virtual and lived-in communities all have distinct cultures which come to bear on the beliefs\, language use\, choices\, and behaviors of individuals and groups. \nThis year\, the theme for ELA’s Regenerative Solutions for Resilient Landscapes (R&R) Conference will be Changing Culture. With this theme\, speakers and attendees will explore what it means to live and work within the dynamic culture of the ecological landscape profession. \nHow do the conversations we have reflect our shared values\, challenge or uphold long held beliefs\, and offer new ideas? \nHow might we more effectively communicate with municipalities\, HOAs\, stakeholders\, and our customers the importance of incorporating native species and ecologically functional landscapes? \nCould our design choices and management behaviors be better aligned with ecological practices in our profession?  \nHow have the materials and practices commonly used in the landscape changed over the past several years\, and what does this mean for the future of our work? \nThese questions and more will provide the backdrop for our conversations this November 9\, 2023. We hope you’ll join us as we lay the groundwork for a profession as resilient as the landscapes we steward. \nPreliminary Agenda\n7:45-8:45 Welcome & Introduction to Longwood Gardens – Dr. Lea Johnson (Associate Director\, Land Stewardship and Ecology) \nThis introduction to Longwood will be followed by a brief period for conference attendees to explore the space before settling in for the first presentation.  \n8:45-9:00 Welcome & intro first speaker (ELA rep) \n9:00-10:00 Hort2Culture: Connecting Plants with People – Jared Barnes\, Phd \nWith all the challenges we face on Planet Earth\, plants are poised to change the 21st century. In this enthusiastic keynote\, Dr. Jared Barnes will share how we can sow passion\, help gardeners take root\, graft interests together\, and much more to help the horticulture industry blossom. \n10:00-10:15 Break \n10:15-11:15 Building Relationships with Land and Water: Indigenous Lessons from TEK – Brook Thompson \nTraditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) is not a stagnant form of data to be consumed\, but an ever-evolving way of living. The Yurok Tribe has recognized the Klamath River as\nhaving personhood\, and therefore is able to protect it legally when facing harm. Yet\, this belief is based in a understanding of the natural world not as life-less beings that are\nthere for human consumption and economic gain\, but a part of the community of one’s life. \nLearn how Indigenous values around TEK can be applied to your own gardens and lives as Brook Thompson\, a Yurok Tribal member talks about her own lived experiences growing up on the Yurok reservation and how she has seen the largest salmon kill in west coast history to the removal of several dams on the Klamath River. If you are interested in how to reframe your understanding of the natural world in ways that may be mutually beneficial to you and your surrounding ecosystem\, then this session is for you. This session will cover the basics of TEK\, how TEK differs from local knowledge\, how to support local tribes with gardens\, and in what ways can anecdotal teachings of Brook’s life growing up on the Yurok reservation be applied to everyday understandings of gardening and even life. \n11:15-12:45 Lunch is on your own.\nThere is a beautiful spot in the gardens — the Garden Cafe — available for attendees to enjoy! \n1:00-2:00 Ecology in Motion: Interpreting Change in a New Public Garden – Samantha Nestory \nStoneleigh: a natural garden has been interpreting its transition from private estate to ecologically focused public garden\, which has presented challenges and opportunities for engaging and educating the community. \n2:00-3:00 The Real Conversations Needed Between Buyers and Suppliers – Wendy Brister \nWhether you realize it or not\, our industry has changed. Supply chain shortages\, labor shortages\, and inflation have played major roles in this. We will look at the challenges facing perennial growers\, steps we have taken to improve the situation\, and tips for designers/buyers to become more educated purchasers. It is time to open the lines of communication! \n3:00-3:15 Break \n3:15-4:15 Buildings as Habitat: Biodiversity Interventions as Resilient Infrastructure Investments in Public Health – Helena van Vliet \nBuildings kill an estimated 1 billion songbirds each year in the United States alone. This catastrophic loss of biodiversity represents a public health emergency that tragically illuminates an all too literal clash between nature and culture. If evolution is any guide\, culture must urgently realign with nature\, informing an evidence-based path from opportunity to obligation: all building projects must realign with local ecology and become restorative\, nature-positive infrastructure investments in support of public health. \n4:15-4:30 Closing Remarks \nAre you interested in sponsoring?  For more information CLICK HERE \nAbout the Venue \nLongwood Gardens is a botanical garden that consists of over 1\,077 acres of gardens\, woodlands\, and meadows in Kennett Square\, PA. Lunch will be available for purchase from Longwood’s on-site restaurant. Attendees are encouraged to enjoy the facilities during lunch.
