The December 8 General Meeting will be held online via Zoom, not at Brookhaven College.
Please join us as we welcome Urban Ecological Engineering Professor, Dr. Fouad Jaber, from Texas A&M AgriLife Dallas as he discusses Green Infrastructure: Ecological Engineering and Urban Waters.
Cities face a slew of environmental and ecological problems as urban populations spike across the globe. Addressing water quantity and quality issues the "usual way" has resulted in severe impairment of water bodies and other ecological disturbances: increased waste, increased need for energy, increased need for land for food, increased CO2 production, disruption to wildlife corridors.
Dr Jaber's focus is on assessing the quality and efficiency of green infrastructure for stormwater management, urban water conservation, natural stream restoration, rainwater harvesting, and alternative water sources such as graywater, and A/C condensate.
From 6:45 to 7:00 p.m. you can log in to the meeting, chat, and ask questions. The meeting will begin at 7:00 with announcements, followed by our speaker's presentation.

Dallas Sierra Club General Meeting via Zoom - Tuesday, January 12
The January 12 General Meeting will be held online via Zoom, not at Brookhaven College.
Please join us as we screen the film, Climate Change Across America - Inglorious Events, a film by Bruce Melton from the Climate Change Now Initiative (ClimateDiscovery.org).
Nominated for an Austin Indie Film Festival award in 2019, Climate Change Across America - Inglorious Events takes a look at alarming changes in some of the most remote areas of the Nation. From South Texas to the North Slope of Alaska, climate change impacts are here. They are far more extreme and extensive than publicly understood, are mired in misinformation and the perceived debate, and are practically hidden in remote and difficult to reach areas. In 16,000 miles of filming, we witness vast and unprecedented changes in nature that include: South Padre Island, Big Bend National Park, Southern Arizona, and more.
From 6:45 to 7:00 p.m. you can log in to the meeting, chat, and ask questions. The meeting will begin at 7:00 with announcements, followed by our speaker's presentation.
