School teachers and afterschool leaders need help finding quality sites where they can take their students/scouts to learn about interesting science, technology, and engineering. Our free, no-registration online guide quickly helps teachers find sites near them, and helps everyone by reducing the time they spend communicating common information.
You are important because you know your local area. You can search online for sites and make sure your area is represented in our guide. You can use our online form to help you organize useful data about sites.
Here are the steps to follow:
Pick an area of the country. Your local area is a good start.
Go to our Field Trip Guide: http://energyteachers.org/fieldtripguide.php
See if there are any entries in your area/state/province. If not, we really need you. If so, you might be able to add good sites.
Search online, or if you have contacts in science/technology/engineering related areas, ask around. Look for sites that regularly allow school groups, or are public access. Kinds of sites include power plants, high-efficiency buildings, nature centers, labs, colleges and universities, municipal water sites, historical sites, etc. You can look at the sites we already have to get more ideas.
Enter in the form by clicking the link at the bottom of the page in the link: "Add a site to the guide"
Enter as much info as you can. It's very useful to teachers to have a contact name/email/phone, to know which ages are appropriate, and whether there are any costs. Google maps can help get the latitude and longitude—Just right click the site on a Google map and click "What's here?" and the latitude and longitude will show in a box at the bottom of the map.
The second page will ask you what features may be found on the site, e.g. "transportation alternatives" or "history" or "hydropower."
Your entry will be checked/edited by the organization, then made public.

SLO County Creeks to Coast Cleanup invites volunteers from our community to this data-driven cleanup, to pick up trash in our creeks, parks, lakes, beaches, and coastline. Every year since 2005, ECOSLO coordinates cleanups from San Simeon to Paso Robles, down through Arroyo Grande and Oceano. Last year we removed over 6,000 pounds of trash and recyclables from nature.

This event is a part of California Coastal Cleanup Day (taking place the 3rd Saturday of each September) and holds the distinction of drawing the most participation of any volunteer event over its thirty year history. As County Coordinator, ECOSLO works with the California Coastal Commission to bring out our community in the campaign for healthy waterways, coastlines, and oceans. Last year 1,300 volunteers removed trash and recyclables from 36 cleanup locations throughout San Luis Obispo County. This year we have nearly 50 cleanup sites for volunteers to choose from!

Check out our event page at http://ecoslo.org/creeks-to-coast/. Please note that while liking and joining this event on Facebook helps make it visible (and please share it everywhere!), we ask that you sign up online to help us anticipate supplies needed for each site.

WHY:
North America has seen a 30% drop in bird population in the last 50 years according to Cornell University.
These endangered birds: Least Tern, Ridgeway's Rail and Savannah Sparrow are all endangered species of birds that need more safe nesting and habitat in the Huntington Beach area. This area of Huntington Beach used to be wetlands and we aim to restore it to counter habitat loss.

How?
This is a long term well-developed plan with multiple opportunities to come help. We are in the beginning stages of removing the invasive species of plants. This is what we'll do Oct 19 and Nov9. In future dates, we will also be planting in the native plants once we remove the invasive ones. This way, the native plants can hopefully grow in, and more endangered species of bird can lay their eggs on the ground plants. Once the plants are established, this could also affect the waterways and we even hope to see endangered fish populate the area.

WHO:
Please share this with anyone and join us! Age 10,11 kids need an adult to work with so they don't accidentally step on some new native plants. Age 12 and up don't need supervision unless their parents prefer it. There is a lot of squatting to pull plants out so keep that in mind.

MUST:
MUST WEAR CLOSE TOED SHOES

Tools Provided:You are welcome to bring your own if you wish:
hand shovel, hand rake,gloves, knee pads,

Bring: 
1. sun protection: hat with tie because of the wind, sunscreen, pants
2. water
3. Wear pants and shoes you can get dirty in.


EAT:
AM Snacks & Lunch Will Be Provided
Parking is free
Thank you all for your support!

Biophelia Financial Advisor Cost Benefits

Plant proximity has been shown to be beneficial in multiple ways including from air pollution reduction & stress reduction. These leverage points have been demonstrated to have positive medical consequences in terms of reduced opioid addiction, reduced medical mistakes, prevention of diseases & conditions such as hypertension & related complications, asthma, heart attacks, strokes, cancer, diabetes, alzheimers & dementia, schizophrenia, rheumatoid arthritisacute pancreatits, chronic kidney disease. We have also evaluated the consequences of proximity to plants on hospital staff presenteeism, absenteeism & turnover rates.

We have concluded that under any scenario we have tested, a network of plant walls & vertical gardens and other uses of plants could pay for themselves in as little as two years and provide beneficial outcomes for more than 20 years. Plant proximity is understood by the scientific community through the lens of ""biophelia"". Biophelia is the visual & sensory experience of plants and proximity to plants. You have expertise relevant to reviewing for validity and applicability our simulation of biophelia in hospitals. Our draft aims to forecast the social outcomes that could be caused by varying scenarios of biophelia in hospitals. We have identified more than 100 outcomes that in principle can be attributed to biophelia. We present here in draft for review a partial simulation of this impact potential. We have aimed to consider prospective benefits to all stakeholders. We have structured this to be a flexible model that can be adapted to any hospital circumstance. We’ve aimed to identify both health outcomes, environmental outcomes financial outcomes.

Forest Fire Risk Prevention Derivatives in Northern California
Bobby Fishkin, lead author

In 2018, Sacramento was named the ""the Most Polluted City on Earth"" due to ""smoke from Camp Fire,"" This proposal aims to prevent that from happening again through adopting a systemic approach and collaborating with stakeholders to actively prevent future such events. The insurance industry, along with institutional chief risk officers, have begun to recognize the importance of moving from ""loss compensation to loss prevention.""

CrowdDoing and Project Heather propose launching a prevention derivative with two new stakeholders: (a) contingent payers who pay in proportion to the reduction in risk, and (b) impact investors who finance social innovations in which their return is similarly proportional to the reduction in risk. It will build on existing precedents for contingent contracts involving social- innovation-based risk prevention.

Financial Analyst Volunteer, Forest Fire Prevention Derivatives, CrowdDoing
A spectrum of forest fire risk prevention approaches are available: from creative new social innovations to well-established interventions. The forest fire risk prevention derivative would first survey existing forest fire prevention interventions in Greater Sacramento with an eye towards which ones might be suitable to support and expand. It would then review global social innovations that might be relevant to Northern California to determine which to replicate. Entities involved in risk management and risk securitisation, from insurers to reinsurers to retrocessionaires, ought to welcome the chance to share liability proportionally through a commons of prevention innovations. The prevention derivative can expand as more institutions and individuals join as contingent payers and impact investors in order prevent a larger portion of collective risk . Payments by private and public institutions to support prevention derivatives can be in-kind, through services, and/or financial.
