SUMMARY:Seaweed Stories for a More Sustainable Future (Film screening and Panel)
DESCRIPTION:Seaweed Stories for a More Sustainable Future (Film screening and Panel)\nWhen: April 9\, 5pm-6:30pm \nWhere: CU Boulder\, CASE Building \nLEARN MORE HERE! \nAs the ocean faces the triple threat of plastic pollution\, biodiversity loss\, and climate change\, many are turning to the power of seaweed to help solve these challenges. Seaweed Stories is a short film including insights from a Silicon Valley startup creating plastic alternatives from macro-algae\, to the Indigenous Shinnecock Kelp Farmers using seaweed to prove their sovereign right to coastal land\, and a scientist in South Korea supporting seaweeds’ sexual reproduction to create new species that can withstand the effects of a changing climate. We will discuss what students can do on our campus and what community can do in our backyard\, as well as critically think about proposed solutions and our planetary imagination for a more sustainable future. \nSeaweed Stories is a 30-minute film featuring the wonders of seaweed\, and some of the extraordinary stories and unique characters whose lives have been entangled by this too often overlooked marine plant that may hold answers to some of humanity’s biggest challenges. The panel afterwards will prompt a discussion about science\, storytelling\, and marine life—as well as our hopes and fears for a more sustainable future. Emy Kane (CU Boulder ‘13 and Executive Director of the NGO Lonely Whale) will be joined by Dr. Emily Yeh (Geography)\, Dr. Paige Hoel (Oceanographer)\, Vicki Nichols Goldstein (Executive Director of the Boulder-based Inland Ocean Coalition)\, and Clementine Clyker (CU Boulder sustainability student leader). The event is co-hosted by the Sustainability and Storytelling Lab\, NEST\, and the CU Environmental Center with Jo Marras Tate hosting.

SUMMARY:How Flowers Made Our World Webinar
DESCRIPTION:How Flowers Made Our World Webinar\nWhen: April 29\, 12pm-1pm \nWhere: Virtual \nREGISTER HERE! \nFlowers are revolutionaries. When flowering plants evolved\, they swiftly transformed the planet\, and their productivity sustains much of life today. \nFrom rainforests to prairies to seagrass meadows\, much of the Earth’s diversity is now directly dependent on flowering plants. Without flowers\, primates would not have evolved and our ancestors would never have ventured beyond the forest in grasslands. \nUsing examples from his latest book\, How Flowers Made Our World\, David Haskell will illuminate the many ways that we live on a floral planet.

SUMMARY:Mosquito Control: Science\, Risks\, and Solutions
DESCRIPTION:Mosquito Control: Science\, Risks\, and Solutions\nWhen: May 19\, 12pm-1pm \nWhere: Virtual \nREGISTER HERE! \nWith a flier in the mail or a door-to-door sales visit\, you’ll notice many mosquito control companies offering to spray your yard this time of year. Though this may seem like a quick and easy way to deal with mosquitoes\, it’s often an ineffective control strategy. Worse\, these insecticides are toxic to pollinators and other beneficial insects and may pose a risk to people\, too. Join us to discuss what we know about the risks residential mosquito sprays pose to pollinators\, including data from a Xerces Society study investigating insecticide drift into neighboring yards. \nThe good news: mosquito control doesn’t have to be toxic. We will also discuss practical\, more effective methods of mosquito control in residential landscapes and communities\, with policy solutions for mitigating harm from mosquito control services.
