John Jameson's June Update

In June I produced another monthly PCI newsletter that received good open and click rates. I presented potential fall service project options I had researched to HECC, who identified they would like to pursue working with Nine Mile Run Watershed Association on a fall volunteer event based around tree planting, seed collecting, and rain garden installations. I have since followed up and met with them about this opportunity and we identified dates and general locations. I produced a HECC inventory aggregation spreadsheet that schools can use to input inventory information on a yearly basis and will help track emissions reductions as a group. I have continued to work with Allegheny County on extending PCI's influence by designing a survey for municipalities to inform a regional carbon event, and by meeting with the Southwest PA Commission on their potential role in this area. Lastly, I organized and facilitated monthly PCI Partners meeting where we welcomed the new City sustainability coordinator, discussed a partnership with Bike PGH for 350.org's Moving Planet Day, and attempted to finalize details for a future PCI project proposal.
