SUMMARY:Plastic Bag Store: The Film
DESCRIPTION:All CAP UCLA online performance programs in our 2020-21 Season will be free\, click here to create a login for CAP UCLA Online.  \n\nCreated by award-winning Brooklyn-based artist\, puppet designer and director Robin Frohardt\, The Plastic Bag Store was conceived as an immersive installation and puppet-theater piece designed to take place in a storefront retail space. Yucky Shards cereal\, Bagorade sports drink\, Fabags deodorizers boasting “that fresh bag scent”\, rotisserie chickens\, cupcakes and sushi are among the thousands of hand sculpted items—all made from discarded plastic bags. The store was scheduled to open in March 2020 to coincide with New York’s plastic bag ban but was postponed due to the city’s COVID-19 lockdown ultimately opening in a vacant Times Square storefront for a limited audience in Fall 2020 earning a spot on the NY Times’ Best of 2020 Theater list. For L.A. audiences\, Frohardt and her team will reimagine a visit to The Plastic Bag Store through a new film commissioned by CAP UCLA. \nPlastic Bag Store: The Film transforms the installation into a dynamic series of stories that traverse ancient history\, the present day and a future dystopia. The Plastic Bag Store employs inventive puppetry\, humor\, craft and a critical lens to explore how the hordes of plastic waste might be misinterpreted by future generations. \nFrohardt states\, “The Plastic Bag Store is a visually rich and humorous experience that hopefully encourages a different way of thinking about the foreverness of plastic\, the permanence of the disposable\, and that there is no ‘away’ when we throw something out. There is great humor to be found in the pitfalls of capitalism—humor and satire can be powerful tools for social criticism especially with issues that feel too sad and overwhelming to confront directly.” \nREGISTER  HERE

SUMMARY:Growing the Intersectional Environmental Movement
DESCRIPTION:The national environmental movement has faced growing pressure to recognize that meaningful\, enduring progress is more likely achieved through “big tent” organizing that reaches across social\, economic\, and racial justice movements. Morally and philosophically\, environmentalists increasingly see their cause as intertwined with longstanding fights for economic justice and civil rights. Under a Biden administration\, there is more opportunity than ever to grow an intersectional environmental movement\, one that joins with those working for economic justice\, civil rights\, labor protections\, and other cross-cutting causes. Is that happening? What are its contours and prospects? \nDebra Gore-Mann\, President and CEO\, Greenlining Institute \nAdrian Martinez\, Staff Attorney\, Earthjustice (moderator) \nAdditional speakers to be announced \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Sustainability in the Virtual Workplace
DESCRIPTION:One year later\, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to radically impact working patterns around the world. In a largely virtual world\, it is important to consider the impacts of cloud computing\, big data and web conferencing on corporate sustainability. Some of the benefits of widespread virtual work made the news during lockdowns last Spring: declines in traffic\, air pollution\, and the return of wildlife to normally congested urban areas. In this discussion\, we will consider the continuing benefits on virtual work in conjunction with negative impacts that can stem from increased internet and data usage. Taking these concerns into account\, we will discuss what the future of work might hold post-COVID. \nThe event will consist of a moderated roundtable discussion with opportunities for audience questions. \nFeatured speakers: \n\nMr. Chris Talbott\, Cloud Sustainability Lead\, Google\nMr. Armando Mann\, Chief Business Officer\, Hopin\nDr. Mark Handcock\, Professor\, UCLA Department of Statistics\n\nModerator: \n\nDr. Marilyn Raphael\, Interim Director\, UCLA Institute of the Environment and Sustainability\n\nIn addition to the panelists\, the audience will have the opportunity to hear short presentations from this year’s CPP student researchers on their findings related to the pandemic’s impacts on corporate sustainability.

SUMMARY:The Impact of COVID-19 on Plastic Waste Management in LA
DESCRIPTION:Around the world\, the COVID-19 pandemic significantly altered both plastic generation and plastic waste management systems. With increased demand for household products\, takeout dining\, and personal protective equipment\, came increased generation of plastic\, and particularly single-use plastic. Consequently\, many of the existing environmental problems related to plastic generation\, disposal\, and management were exacerbated. Even before the pandemic\, recycling systems and policies aimed at reducing plastic pollution were not enough to cull the ever increasing rate of plastic going into our environment and particularly our oceans. \nThough the pandemic intensified an already indisputable plastic waste crisis\, it also proved our society is capable of monumental adaptation to benefit the health and wellbeing of our communities. Focusing on this potential bright side\, our white paper explores innovative ways of reducing plastic waste in commercial buildings\, the largest generation category of plastic waste in California. With many office workers telecommuting until a vaccine is fully distributed in mid-2021\, building owners currently have a unique opportunity to update building technologies and policies to curtail commercial building plastic consumption long-term. \nJoin the Los Angeles Sustainability Executives Roundtable (LASER) and USGBC-LA for a panel discussion to dive deeper into the issue of plastic waste and commercial buildings in Los Angeles. The expert panel will be followed by breakout Q & A session. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:InterActions LA 2021
DESCRIPTION:Economic relief to individuals is playing a major role in helping people in LA make ends meet during the COVID-19 pandemic. Expanded unemployment payments and sporadic federal relief checks provided cash to people struggling to make rent and buy food. These pandemic-related cash supports are drawing attention to the role that guaranteed income programs can play in helping individuals get out of poverty. \nA growing number of places in California\, across the country\, and the world are piloting programs and approaches to get money to the people who need it most. From Black and Pacific Islander mothers to low-income older adults to citywide programs in Stockton and Compton\, guaranteed and universal basic income programs are gaining traction. Each program is demonstrating this concept on different populations and outcomes. In South Korea\, basic income recipients were restricted to spending their dollars only in their local neighborhood. In San Francisco\, the program seeks to improve maternal and child outcomes by providing cash support before the child is even born. All of these programs try to address deep economic concerns that low- and middle-income households face in high-cost regions. \nHow can these local issues be addressed through a federal program that potentially provides cash support? What have cities learned about their role in providing cash relief through these pilots and pandemic relief? If a federal basic income program existed\, what role could local and state governments play? This spring\, InterActions LA will bring together the latest thinking and action on the opportunities and applications around moving toward a guaranteed income for people who could benefit in the Los Angeles region. \n\n\nSchedule and full speaker details to come. \nREGISTER HERE
