Creek and Lakefront Cleanups

Embrace the Lake!

Spring 2012 ushers in the third year of encouraging community groups to Embrace Cayuga Lake with creek and lakefront cleanups. What better way to show our love for the creeks and lake at the center of our lives?

What: We are embracing and encircling Cayuga Lake with creek and lakefront cleanups, starting this spring and into early summer. Thirty-four major creeks drain to the lake, along with hundreds of small straight streams. The Network organizes a rolling schedule of weekend creek and waterfront cleanups around the lake. We invite individuals, families, schools, churches, Scouts and community groups to commit to a local cleanup. In 2011, twenty groups took part – almost completely encircling the lake!

A Spring Clean for the Network: If you would rather keep your feet dry, hold a garage sale for the benefit of the Cayuga Lake Watershed Network! Garage sales reuse and recycle, keeping waste out of the landfill. It's a great complement to the stream clean-ups. Contact us for suggestions on how to do this.

When: Groups are already scheduling cleanups for mid- and late March. A rolling schedule will keep these cleanups going until the plants grow too high for effective cleanups, in early to mid-May. The first cleanups are in Ithaca on March 31 – watch for the list later this week!

Where: Anywhere in the Cayuga Lake Watershed, where waters are flowing in the direction of Cayuga Lake. Do you have a favorite neighborhood creek or wetland, where trash has built up? Here is your chance to get that cleaned up. Was your picnic spot or shoreline area along the lake marred by garbage, last fall? Let’s get that stuff out of there!

Who: Individuals, families, schools, churches, Scouts, community groups. You! As a group organizes for a cleanup, we’ll help pick a good spot along the chosen creek or waterfront area that is safe for all ages and approved by landowners, and get the word out via email, a press release to local newspapers, radio, etc. We are only asking for a couple of hours of volunteer time to pick up trash and clean up around a carefully-selected area.

You can join a group that is already organized, or start your own.

To start your own group and cleanup event, we’ll help you organize the following details:

• A coordinator for your group – name, contact information (preferably both phone and email).
• You might want to come up with a fun name for your group and cleanup!
• A cleanup location – safe, easy-to-get-to with nearby parking, and landowner permission to be there. We’ll need clear directions to provide to volunteers who want to show up on the date.
• A time period for the cleanup (two to four hours at most) and raindate.
• Publicity – a short news release for local newspapers, radio stations, and other places you suggest (we’ll help write that and send it out).
• Garbage bags to fill, and someone to collect and dispose of them properly afterwards (we’ll help organize the pickup, and will provide garbage bags, and gloves to wear).
• A sign-in sheet for all participants (we can provide one if needed).
• Signed safety waivers for all participants (we can provide a template if needed).
• Adult supervision and permissions for all youngsters.
• Appropriate clothing and footwear.
• Refreshments.
• Someone to take photos and keep notes of what you collect.

Afterwards, we’ll want to know:

How many bags of garbage did you collect?

What was the grossest thing you found?

What was the largest thing you found?

What was the weirdest thing you found?

How would you improve this event for next year?

Awards will be made for Best, Most, Largest, Weirdest, etc!

Business Sponsorships: We are seeking donations from area businesses to help support this project. Please contact steward@ycaugalake.org if you are interested.

How to Get Involved: Contact the Network at the following email addresses and let us know you want to get involved: abenning@wells.edu or steward@cayugalake.org. You can also leave us a message at 607 319-0475. Watch for information on our Web site www.cayugalake.org and  at our Facebook page by late March – we’ll list groups with contact information and can add yours.

Love to walk in the woods? Become an IC Natural Lands Steward!

Photo by Lee Ann Hill, winner of the Fall 2011 ICNL Photo Contest

You are invited to join Ithaca College Natural Lands (ICNL) in caring for the woods surrounding campus and volunteer in the ICNL Stewards Program. Sign up by attending our informational meeting this Tuesday, 7pm in the Taughannock Falls Room in Campus Center, or send an email to icnatland@gmail.com expressing your interest.

ICNL Stewards are the sentinels of the forest, and help monitor for changes in the landscape. Being a steward is a rewarding job not only for the steward themselves but also for ICNL as we work to keep track of the ever changing land of South Hill. Stewards get the opportunity to develop a relationship with the land and be the eyes and ears for ICNL. If you've taken Environmental Sentinels, this is a great way to keep up the skills you learned and practiced in that course.

Stewards are asked to visit their parcel every week on their own time and take a short walk around (or sit still, too) to become familiar with the land and notice changes. Anyone in the IC community can be a steward: students, faculty, staff, and administration. Apart from being a great way to take a break from busy college life, becoming a steward will allow you to learn about South Hill, relate to the land, and can also be a good resume builder.

Please feel free to visit ithaca.edu/naturallands to find out more, or email me at icnatland@gmail.com with any questions.

Ithaca Freeskool class: Learning Songs of Resistance

Another message from the Share Tompkins listserve:

Are you interested in singing out against fracking, the one percent, capitalism, endless war [fill in the blank]? Want to ready your vocal cords for the EF! Round River Rendezvous coming to a place near you in July 2012?
I have a copy of "Hootenanny" and "Rise Up Singing," and a burning desire to learn and recycle historical songs of resistance. If we put our heads together, sharing what we know and using the Internet and each other
as resources, we can come out of the Freeskool 2012 semester with a dozen or so songs under our belts and ready to belt out at protests and marches and full moon bonfires, or where- and whenever the spirit moves us.

I envision each participant sharing a song s/he already knows, or tracking down the melody of a particular song that speaks to her/him, via the Internet, library, and/or media, and introducing it to the rest of the class. In this way, we are all the teachers and all the learners. If this format appeals to you, join me and my guitar in the Community Room of Jillian's Drawers on The Commons on Wednesday, 8 February at 7pm (notice the schedule change from the Freeskool flyer!). Musical instruments, music books, sheet music, etc. are all welcome, but optional. Be sure to bring your revolutionary spirit, your vocal cords, and a whole lot of hot air.

An RSVP to Liza would be gravy: a_momcat@yahoo.com

Deconstruction Volunteer Opportunity

Hello from the Finger Lakes ReUse Deconstruction Services Team!

The weather has been unexpectedly pleasant for late fall & we’re hoping you’ll take advantage of that and join us in helping preserve materials from a local building. We have opportunities to help with a deconstruction project near Ithaca College. Our team will be on site from 7AM until 5PM for the remainder of this week and Monday-Thursday for the following 2 weeks (December 6 – December 16). Please RSVP to Erich Kruger (erich@fingerlakesreuse.org) if you want to come for part or all of any day.

Heavy-soled boots are required. Work gloves, safety equipment, and basic tools will be provided. Please bring your own lunch and water bottle. Volunteers must sign in when arriving and complete an orientation with FLR staff before commencing any work at the deconstruction site. Volunteers are asked to provide their own transportation but we may be able to provide assistance with transport for volunteers who can be on site for the full work day.

Further information about Finger Lakes ReUse programs can be found at our website, www.fingerlakesreuse.org.

Finger Lakes ReUse Volunteer Evenings

Finger Lakes ReUse invites you to participate in our ReUse Center volunteer evenings at the ReUse Center in the Triphammer Marketplace from 5:30 to 8pm every Thursday beginning December 1 throughout the winter months. Meet great people and help make donated items ready for sale: we'll clean, sort and organize loads of really cool stuff! Help us improve retail displays, and other tasks that will help us manage the huge flow of incoming donations.

We'd like to know you're coming, so please RSVP to Louise Henrie at louise@fingerlakesreuse.org, or call (607) 257-9699.

2nd Annual TIOLI Gift Swap!

Whoa, long time no see, blogosphere. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and break! I'll hopefully get back to keeping this more updated, although I can't guarantee it (although I always keep the calendar on the left updated). Here's a quick reminder about a big event coming up soon:

If you’re home for Thanksgiving break, check to see if you have any clutter or old clothes you don’t want anymore (who doesn’t?) and bring it back to campus. Then swap it for something for your friends and family - good for your wallet and the planet! This is also a great opportunity to get rid of the stuff you've mysteriously accumulated in your room but haven't touched all semester before you go home for winter break... much better than chucking it in the trash and sending it to the landfill. If you don’t want to hold onto your stuff in your room until the swap, bring it to the TIOLI room (hours here).

The swap will be held on Thursday, December 8 from 8am-5pm in Emerson Suite B. There will also be food and fun activities such as face painting, music, hula hooping, and a ukelele learning station! We will also be raffling off sustainable items and a $20 gift certificate to Collegetown Bagels.

The event is completely free and open to the public, so come and take a break, kick back, and enjoy some vegan hot chocolate with us!

Questions? Email REMP at irecycle@ithaca.edu.

Costumes for Cans

Join SWIFT (Stop Wasting Ithaca's Food Today) for trick-or-treating on Halloween - but not for candy!

Some FAQs about SWIFT:

Who are we?
SWIFT is a non-profit, student-run organization that aims to combine social responsibility and sustainability.

What do we do?
We salvage food from Towers Dining Hall and special catered events on campus. It is packaged into meal-sized portions and delivered to food pantries and help centers throughout Tompkins County.

How much food do we save?
SWIFT averages 35 meals per week, plus salads and leftover items from Grab-and-Go. Special event packaging greatly varies.

When do we package?
Every Friday! We meet outside at the Towers loading dock (near the TCAT bus stop) at 4:00 PM. New members are always welcome :)

How can I help?
We can always use more packagers and we will be looking for new E-Board members very soon. We’re always willing to take on new ideas and strategies, so send your thoughts to swiftoday@gmail.com and get involved!

Tomorrow: Fracking Rally and Occupy Bikes!

Tomorrow (Friday) Frack Off is holding an anti-fracking rally at 4pm at Free Speech Rock. Come out and show your support (and sign the petitions if you haven't) demanding that Ithaca College bans fracking on its lands, and that NYS officially bans fracking. If you don't know much about fracking (hydraulic fracturing), go to Frack Off's screening of "Gasland" in Textor 101 at 7pm tonight, and then check out Shaleshock's website for tons of information.

After the rally, join the critical mass bike ride around downtown Ithaca in solidarity of the Occupy Wall St. movement. Celebrate Halloween (optional of course) by dressing up as scary Wall St. bankers and corporate CEOs, zombies and vampires, or beautiful revolutionaries and occupiers! We will ride to some of the haunts of Ithaca's 1% and through the neighborhoods of the 99% and do some outreach while we ride. Then descend on the Commons for Friday night festivities!

Let's show the strength of this movement by creating a community movement on two wheels! If anyone is interested in riding down from IC, contact Margaret Keating at mkeatin1@ithaca.edu. We will assemble after the fracking rally at 5pm and head down to the Bank of America ATM on Seneca St.

"Fresh" Screening and Sustainable Food Teach-in!

In celebration of National Food Day, the Ithaca College Environmental Society (ICES), the Resource and Environmental Management Program (REMP), and Slow Food Ithaca College will be holding a teach-in on sustainable food followed by a screening of the documentary Fresh.

The teach-in will cover various aspects of eating sustainably, including choosing local, organic, vegetarian/vegan, and sustainable carnivorous options. We will be making some delicious examples of these types of foods for your enjoyment!

Fresh celebrates local farmers, advocates, and business people that are working to reinvent our industrial food system and solve its rampant problems, such as pollution, food contamination, and obesity. We will also have snacks during the movie, if all the delicious food we're bringing isn't enough!

Where: Williams 323
When: Monday, October 24, 6-8pm

Free and open to the public; please bring your friends! It's never too late to start thinking about where your food comes from and its impact on you, the environment, and communities around the world.

Of special interest is the fact that Ruth co-owns and manages one of the largest remaining tracts of unleased land in Bradford County.
