Climate change event to feature day of lectures, rallies in Eugene

Published: January 23, 2008 10:38AM

A daylong “National Teach-In on Global Warming” will unfold in Eugene on Jan. 31.

The multiple events will begin with the Eugene-Springfield Climate Summit in the morning and conclude with the second annual Lane County Energy Round-up in the evening. The day’s activities — tied to a Focus the Nation campaign of similar events across the country — also include a global-warming rally, sustainable living fair and series of public lectures.

All of the events will be held on the University of Oregon campus. Sponsors include the UO Office of Sustainability, UO Campus Recycling, UO Resource Innovations, the UO student government and the Lane County Energy Round-up.

Keynote speaker at the evening’s Round-Up event will be Christopher Dymond, a senior analyst with the Oregon Department of Energy. Dymond’s lecture topic will be “Renewable Energy: Crossing the 21st Century Chasm.”

Other speakers will address energy efficiency, biofuels, gleaning, carbon footprint reduction and local actions. Lane County Commissioner Peter Sorenson and Round-Up co-founder Kathy Ging will offer introductions.

The Round-Up will be held between 7 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. at 150 Columbia Hall.

The morning climate summit will be held between 9 a.m. and noon at the Fir Room in the Erb Memorial Union. The summit will address how the local public sector is responding to climate change.

Briefings will be given at 9:15 a.m. by representatives of Eugene Water & Electric Board, Emerald People’s Utility District, Northwest Natural Gas and Lane Transit District; at 10:20 a.m. by representatives of the Bethel, Eugene and Springfield school districts, Lane Community College and the UO; and at 11:20 a.m. by representatives of Lane County, the Lane Council of Governments and the cities of Eugene and Springfield.

UO President Dave Frohnmayer and UO Sustainability Director Steve Mital will open the summit.

Between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m., a dozen UO professors and other speakers will give a series of lectures on topics relating to climate change in the Fir and Walnut rooms at the EMU. The lecture times and titles — and other details about the day’s events — are available at www.uoregon.edu/~recycle/FTN.

A global warming rally will be held at noon at the EMU Amphitheatre, and a sustainable living fair will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the EMU Lobby. A “Campus Carbon Silence,” in which people are encouraged to avoid all uses of electricity, will be observed for 15 minutes beginning at 10 a.m.
