CHARLESTON GREEN DRINKS: SEPTEMBER 2022 ‘Resilience & Flooding’ SEPTEMBER 20 @ 6PM COMMONHOUSE ALEWORKS PARK CIRCLE / NORTH CHS This month we are focused on resilience and flooding and some of the folks working locally in these areas, including * South Carolina Aquarium – Sara McDonald, Kelly Thorvalson, and Linda Rowe will be talking about their community-based conservation work around resilience, including information about their SeaRise Viewer and their SeaRise project (using the Anecdata platform) on the South Carolina Aquarium Citizen Science App. * Root Down Designs – Founder, April Magill, will be talking about about natural building methods and resilience in flooding. Root Down Designs is one of the few licensed firm in the Carolinas that has designed homes using earthen materials such as Rammed Earth, Cob and Hempcrete. From carbon sequestering architecture, to utilizing modern day engineering and building sciences to revive ancient natural building methods Root Down Designs is changing the way we build in the Carolinas! The brief intros will be followed by tabling time and open networking, giving us all the chance to both dig deeper into the issues and better connect with one another. ******** If you would like us to share any announcements the event, please let us know in advance ([email protected]) ******** If you would like a chance to set up a table to make plastics-related information accessible to folks, please let us know ([email protected]) ******** The CGD steering committee will be meeting at Commonhouse Aleworks from 5pm-6pm and we are encouraging other environmental groups to consider scheduling their own meetings/gatherings on site in a similar way. It’s a chance to get out of the office early, beat the traffic, and maybe create some synergistic energy in the process *********************** We hope you all can join us for this month’s edition of Charleston Green Drinks!
