SUMMARY:Circle Economy for Communities: Coffee with Andre Struker
DESCRIPTION:This event is free\, but we ask that you REGISTER to attend.\nThe circular economy is about closing resource loops\, mimicking natural ecosystems in the way we organize our society and businesses. Andre Struker\, Strategic Advisor to Amsterdam’s water utility Waternet\, is coming to Pittsburgh to share his expertise on how the facility’s energy-from-waste ecosystem fits within the overall circular economy strategy in Amsterdam and how the utility is “mining for energy” in its goal to become climate neutral by 2020. \nThe circular economy can be applied to help communities minimize waste\, maximize value creation\, and generate new opportunity for prosperity. GTECH is hosting coffee with Andre Struker to explore how these innovative principles can be applied locally with businesses\, community-based organizations and active citizens. During the coffee participants will have the opportunity to hear a presentation from Struker to dig deeper into the model and ask him questions to consider challenges and possible applications locally. \nThank you to our venue and coffee sponsors:

SUMMARY:Growler Hour with ioby
DESCRIPTION:ioby believes that it should be easy to make meaningful change “in our backyards” – the positive opposite of the “not in my back yard” mentality called NIMBY. To do this ioby has designed a crowd-resourcing platform that mobilizes neighbors who have good ideas to become powerful citizen leaders who make positive change in their own communities. GTECH and The Sprout Fund have been partnering with ioby to support innovative and creative projects that focus on current issues and challenges affecting local communities. We invite you to experience these local projects and learn how ioby’s unique platform and their concept of crowd-resourcing helped drive these projects to success to make our neighborhoods safer\, greener\, more livable and more fun. \nJoin GTECH and The Sprout Fund to meet ioby Founder and CEO\, Erin Barnes and the local citizen leaders who have implemented great ideas one block at a time with ioby. Enjoy growlers of local beer as you learn why ioby chose Pittsburgh to open their next office in Spring 2016 and their plans for growing positive neighbor-led change locally. This is a public event for non-profits\, public agencies\, municipalities\, community groups and individuals that are interested in connecting their ideas with the crowdfunding resources to make it happen. \nArrive starting at 6 pm to grab one of East End Brewing Company’s beers and tacos from La Palapa’s food truck. Remarks introducing Erin Barnes\, Founder and CEO of ioby begin at 6:30 pm inside the taproom.\nThe event is free to attend\, but we ask that you please register to help us connect with you for the event.

SUMMARY:ReClaim the Route
DESCRIPTION:As a part of an annual partnership with the Dick’s Sporting Goods Pittsburgh Marathon\, GTECH and community partners work to activate one of the hundreds of vacant lots that line the marathon route. This year\, GTECH will partner with Operation Better Block\, a Homewood based community development organization\, to activate and program a lot along Frankstown Avenue. There will be food\, entertainment and fun to add to the already festive atmosphere that makes Homewood the number one neighborhood for runners to run through during the event. \nTo add to the festivities\, Canstruction Pittsburgh will be on site to build a one-of-a-kind structure made entirely of donated canned food while thousands of runners pass by the site. All canned food used during the construction of the structure will then be donated back to a local food bank for distribution. We are looking for volunteers to help with the construction of the structure and to come out and have a good time with us! \nYou can help in two ways: \n1.  Sign up to volunteer with us on May 3rd at Pittsburgh Cares \n \n  \n  \n2. Purchase 365 canned goods at Whole Foods and drop them off in the ReClaim the Route donation bin. \n \n  \n
