Grounded Strategies

Environmental Justice Roundtable
2017-04-13 16:00 - 18:00 (America/Halifax) | The Blakey Center, 1908 Wyle Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA, 15219
Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Acting Secretary Patrick McDonnell is hosting nine roundtables across the state over the next two months to meet with residents and hear their perspectives on environmental justice.
“The Office of Environmental Justice fulfills a critical role within DEP – ensuring that all Pennsylvanians, especially those who have historically been disenfranchised, are fully involved in the decisions that affect their environment,” said McDonnell. “Environmental justice embodies the principles that communities should not be disproportionally exposed to adverse environmental impacts. With these listening sessions, I want to hear how we can improve on our responsibility.”
The tour will focus on engaging residents and leaders in DEP’s decision-making process, and involving residents in communities that may not fit the traditional definition of an environmental justice area — which is based on minority population and income levels in census tracts.
Environmental Justice Listening Tour Focus Areas:

What environmental justice concerns are most pressing in your community?
Do you feel that the current definition of an environmental justice community (20% poverty and/or 30% minority) properly represents the needs of your community and the Commonwealth at large?
Do you feel the DEP is engaged with marginalized communities to ensure that they have a voice in the decision making process? How can the DEP be more engaged with these communities?
What tools have you used to find out information on DEP permitting/enforcement actions?
What ways can the DEP be more effective at sharing information with the public?
How can the DEP be more effective at receiving public input?
What resource(s) is your community lacking that the DEP can provide that would assist in efforts to ensure environmental equity?
What additional steps can be taken by the Department to effectively reach out to these vulnerable communities to ensure that their concerns are taken into consideration?

The listening sessions will take place throughout April and May. Additional details are available at http://www.dep.pa.gov/PublicParticipation/OfficeofEnvironmentalJustice/Pages/default.aspx

Community EngageMINT: Fresh Connections with involveMINT
2017-04-03 18:00 - 20:00 | Repair the World, 6022 Broad Street, Pittsburgh, PA, 15206, United States

HOW: Come to the showcase! Connect with nonprofits, see what local businesses have to offer, and be the first to use involveMINT: a new mobile digital currency application. Please RSVP here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/community-engagemint-fresh-connections-with-involvemint-tickets-32638911864
DESCRIPTION: Within our 21st century economy, innovation and disruption are happening lightning fast. Many of our communities find themselves lagging behind, or unable to keep up with this dynamism. As traditional social structures, funding sources, and governmental safety nets are challenged or dismantled, communities and the stakeholders within them all face unprecedented challenges.
Locally, Pittsburgh has gained high number of socially conscious businesses and organizations to tackle these challenges. However, these organizations have previously lacked a means of connecting to the resources that they need most. What would happen if we could activate the local economy that exists in each neighborhood to help? The first step is to realize that we have all we need to thrive, it is just a matter of connecting resources with those who need it most!
Join us to experience how involveMINT is activating these resources and encouraging cross sector collaboration in an exciting new way!

———–
Recipient of the Walentik Leadership in Health Award and named 2016 Person of the Year by the St. Louis American, Dr. Purnell isa leading researcher on socioeconomic and sociocultural factors that influence health behaviors and outcomes.
The “For the Sake of All” project made waves with the revelation that, in St. Louis, less than 10 miles apart between Clayton and north St. Louis, there is an 18 year gap in life expectancy at birth.
“Those are not just statistics, they are people’s lives that are being shortened because of differential access to resources that support healthy and productive lives . . . We know that poverty is not randomly distributed. Over a century of housing policy has gotten us to concentrated areas of poverty, where we find more African American poverty concentrated into these tight pockets where poverty just accumulates,” reports Purnell.

2017-03-03 13:00 - 15:00 | Hillman Library, Digital Scholarship Commons, G-49 (3960 Forbes Ave), Pittsburgh, PA, 15260, United States
Everyday we interact with visualizations of space, aka maps. How we interact with a map is determined by many factors. Who made it? What is it trying to convey? Where did the underlying data come from? We ask these and more questions, often unconsciously, as we decide whether a map contains the information we seek. This workshop will begin with a brief history of the map, introduce the concept of map literacy and finish with participants interacting with a series of digital and paper maps using the information they obtained during the first part of the session.
Registration is required for this event.

p4 Performance Measures: In Depth on Valuing People, Planet, Place, and Performance
2017-02-15 08:30 - 10:00 | Green Building Alliance, 33 Terminal Way, Suite 331 , Pittsburgh, PA, 15219, United States
“We are poised for growth but cannot succeed unless we have a place for everyone. That’s one of the reasons why we created the p4 initiative – to ensure that this new growth benefits people, enhances a sense of place, contributes to a healthier planet, and achieves the highest levels of financial and social performance.” – Mayor Bill Peduto
Experience
Surely you’ve heard about p4 by now – the city’s new framework for creating a sustainable, innovative, and inclusive model for development and design which focuses on People, Place, Planet, and Performance. Launched in 2015 by the Mayor’s Office and the Heinz Endowments, p4 is meant to build on our city’s strengths and opportunities while ensuring inclusive and thoughtful decision-making around future growth and development. Layered with values like sustainability and equitable development, the p4 framework will play a pivotal role in ensuring that everyone in our city can benefit from its future growth.
But how can we be sure that a model like p4 will work? Enter the p4 Performance Measures Project. Over 100 people from all corners and sectors of the city engaged in a year-long, collaborative process to create a quantifiable system of metrics for informing and improving decision-making on public investments in development projects. Their work resulted in 12 priority focus areas for improvement – the 12 Performance Measures. Each Measure contains a set of metrics that together, provide a comprehensive evaluation tool for the consistent assessment of real estate development projects in the city of Pittsburgh to advance sustainable and equitable development practices. These Measures reflect a first step toward transformational change in how we plan and develop for the benefit of all. Implementation will require changes in policy, behavior, and practice that occurs over time.
At this breakfast briefing, Rebecca Flora – GBA’s founding executive director and current p4 Performance Measures Project team leader – will share insights into the process of developing these Measures, along with expectations and next steps for the city’s development. We’ll also take a deeper look at some of the Measures, including Energy, Connect, Rainwater, Air, Innovation, Opportunity, and Design.
Agenda
8:15 – 8:30 – Arrive, register, grab breakfast
8:30 – 9:30 – Presentation
9:30 – 10:00 – Questions and Discussion
