John Jameson's April Update

This month I spent most of my time finalizing and launching the inaugural Pittsburgh Climate Initiative Newsletter, organizing and hosting a film screening, and working on Pittsburgh Climate Action Plan v 2.0. The newsletter currently has a distribution list of about 80 individuals and is intended primarily for stakeholders and media outlets. The PCI Newsletter will be distrbiuted monthly with the goal of giving PCI more consistent exposure. On Earth Day, I hosted a public film screening for 'Carbon Nation', a recently released movie on climate change solutions. The event culminated about 2.5 weeks of planning and advertising through email, flyers, announcements, Facebook, and other websites and attracted about 70 community and student attendees. I have also been working with wetlands and mapping experts to develop the 2 new community recommendations for Pittsburgh Climate Action Plan v 2.0. I am currently seeking local organizations to be potential partners on the projects.
