SUMMARY:Simplify Solar Launch
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to attend Th!rd Act Ohio’s September 9\, 2026\, 1:00 PM\, Zoom call to learn how you can be part of an effort to introduce Ohio towns and cities to a better\, faster way to manage and approve permits for residential rooftop solar and storage. \nResidential rooftop solar in the U.S. costs two or three times more than in Australia\, Germany and Japan. One reason is that rooftop solar permitting in the U.S. is overly cumbersome and not standardized. In Ohio\, for example\, solar permits for homes can take up to 30 days to approve. SolarAPP+ is an online permitting solution used by over 335 towns and cities across the country — including Athens Ohio — that results in an instant permit with an inspection checklist for building officials.\nRegister online at https://thirdact.org/ohio/events/simplify-solar-launch/

SUMMARY:Creating a Permaculture Planet: Mutualistic Design\, Part II
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the Sierra Club September Educational Forum\, featuring Braden Trauth\, Assistant Professor of Industrial Design at UC College of Design\, Architecture\, Art and Planning\, as he continues his presentation on Mutualism. \nWhen: Tuesday\, Sep 8\, meet and greet 6:30 PM\, discussion 7-9 PM\nWhere: Mt. Auburn Presbyterian Church\, Geier Room\, 103 William Howard Taft Road\, Cincinnati. Parking available behind church. Or register to join via Zoom here.  \n“Mutualism” is when organisms benefit all others. Permaculture Design can help empower humans to heal ecological destruction while providing for the needs of all living beings all at the same time. Mutualistic Design builds on both concepts by focusing on guiding humans to enhance the Earth’s productivity of our primary producers (plants) through diverse resilience and systems design\, while mimicking them in our built environments and products\, enhancing energy and resource independence. Humans are most impactful “Keystone Species” on Earth. In this talk\, we will explore questions like: How can Permaculture be transformative? If we want to live more sustainably on Earth\, must we transition from being Consumers to being Producers? \nPart II of this discussion will include a consideration of how to manage our planet’s water systems during this crisis of climate warming with its increasing occurrence of flooding and draught\, surplus and scarcity. We will feature a local community project to manage our city’s archaic sewer system using green infrastructure.

SUMMARY:Informational Session for RFI: Building Composting Capacity in Southwest Ohio
DESCRIPTION:Request for Interest (RFI): Building Composting Capacity in Southwest Ohio \nInformational session – April 1\, 2026 at 12 p.m. \nHamilton County ReSource seeks to increase food scrap and other organics processing capacity with composting facilities that create a valuable soil amendment and act as an asset to the surrounding community. ReSource issued this RFI to identify partners that can expand existing composting capacity or build new composting capacity in the region. \nThis RFI seeks to identify: \n1. Partners with a minimum site size of six acres of land that could host a food scrap composting facility (approximately four acres for composting activity and two acres for vegetative buffer). This could include existing composting or mulching operations or sites suitable for building a composting operation. \n2. Operators for a composting facility. Operators could own a site or just have interest in operating a compost site. \nHamilton County has potential funding to support one or both aspects of a composting operation and through this RFI\, seeks to determine the financial investment needed to expand food scrap processing capacity. Information from this RFI will determine if sufficient interest exists to move forward on a public-private partnership and approximately how much investment a project will require from Hamilton County. Once the project has been determined\, Hamilton County will issue a formal Request for Proposals.

SUMMARY:Become a Sierra Club local outings leader!
DESCRIPTION:Do you love the outdoors as well as a challenge? \nOhio’s outdoors are calling to you —vast forests\, the Great Lakes\, and wild spaces that inspire awe and action. And on the doorstep of so much more – from the gorges of Kentucky to the mountains of North Carolina to the snowy forests of Michigan. Whether it’s a walk in an urban park or a backpacking adventure in the Smokies\, we are committed to helping others “enjoy\, explore and protect” what we all love. \nSierra Club needs bold\, community-driven leaders who aren’t afraid of a challenge —leaders who see the outdoors not just as a place to explore\, but as a space for connection\, rejuvenation\, and advocacy. As a Sierra Club Outings Leader\, you’ll do more than guide hikes—you’ll inspire a new generation of environmental changemakers\, build inclusive outdoor experiences and teach others to enjoy the outdoors safely and responsibly. If you believe nature should be for everyone and want to create real impact where adventure meets activism\, this is your call to lead. \nJoin us for a virtual Open House on March 24 at 7:00PM to learn more.

SUMMARY:Living Well in the Post-Growth Era: A Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the March Sierra Club Miami Group Education Forum\, “Living Well in the Post-Growth Era: A Small-Group Discussion” \nWhen: March 2\, 2026 – 7-9 pm\nWhere: Mt\, Auburn Presby Church (Geier Rm)\, 103 Wm Howard Taft Road\, 45219. \nPanel: Larry Falkin\, Susan Sprigg\, and Tom Brian (WorldWatch Institute) \nWhat will happen when the economy\, energy use\, and human population\, all stop growing? Most Americans think that growth is essential for their well-being. They worry about the dangers of stagnation. Others believe that unrestrained growth on a finite planet is the root of all that ails us. This debate pits flawed conventional economics against ecological constraints. \nWhether you think it’s good or bad\, we know that infinite growth on a finite planet is impossible. A “Post-Growth” economy prioritizes human well-being\, ecological sustainability\, and equitable resource distribution\, over growth. \nFree Parking behind church. Join us at 6:30 for a meet and greet. Or join via Zoom here:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/H52K80uCQmiSwAzZUffzfw

SUMMARY:Oregon EPR: Unpacking Top 25 Producer and Eco-modulation LCA Requirements
DESCRIPTION:In this webinar\, we will take a deep dive into when LCA is explicitly required in Oregon’s EPR regulations\, what producers should prepare from a technical and data readiness standpoint\, and how LCA is used to support reporting and eco-modulation. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of Bonus A\, B\, and C and Top 25 Producer compliance expectations\, as well as how Trayak meets all Oregon EPR requirements. \nClick here to register.

DESCRIPTION:Join the Sierra Club Educational Forum as we welcome Braden Trauth\, Assistant Professor Industrial Design at University of Cincinnati\, DAAP \nBraden will speak about his work experience and research in sustainable design with a focus on Sustainable Industrial Design\, which is founded in Permaculture and the ecological theory of the keystone species – a theory he pioneered in his Master’s Thesis. Braden has done extensive research in Permaculture Design\, Regenerative Farming\, and Agroecology\, Ecological Energy Theory\, natural and sustainable building\, and sustainable Industrial Design. With his colleagues\, he created the World’s first Regenerative Farming certification approved by the USPTO called Permaganic Authenticated\, which he is still scaling up. He co-founded the Cincinnati Permaculture Institute in 2008\, and he has lectured on Permaculture to the Haitian Ministry of Agriculture and national Agriculture Universities in Haiti. \nBraden continues to research design practices and processes that can help further sustainable/ mutualistic product design and the renewable and non-renewable resources\, manufacturing\, use and environments\, repair and disposal that products are created from and exist within. \nWhen: Monday\, February 2\, 2026\, meet and greet 6:30 PM\, discussion begins 7 PM.\nWhere: Mt.
