SUMMARY:City Nature Challenge 2022
DESCRIPTION:Started in 2016 as a competition between San Francisco and Los Angeles\, the City Nature Challenge (CNC) has grown into an international event\, motivating people around the world to find and document wildlife in their cities. Run by the Community Science teams at the California Academy of Sciences and the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County\, the CNC is an annual four-day global bioblitz at the end of April\, where cities are in a collaboration-meets-friendly-competition to see not only what can be accomplished when we all work toward a common goal\, but also which city can gather the most observations of nature\, find the most species\, and engage the most people in the event. \nLEARN MORE

SUMMARY:InterActions LA: Inclusive Approaches to Electric Carsharing
DESCRIPTION:Electric carsharing holds enormous potential for our cities — they can provide safe\, clean\, and convenient ways to travel and\, for those unable to afford personal vehicles\, they increase access to opportunities. Over the past five years\, a new wave of carsharing services supported by public funding using electric vehicles has emerged. Nonprofit models have operated at a large scale in the San Francisco Bay Area\, Chicago\, and elsewhere\, while public and community-controlled programs are emerging in Sacramento and Los Angeles. \nAt this year’s InterActions LA event\, we’ll hear how people have benefited from electric carsharing programs and how agencies of different types may want to get involved. Speakers will also discuss sustainable business models\, operational approaches that can fill mobility gaps\, and outreach strategies to ensure the programs are known to people who stand to benefit the most. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:"Saging the World" Movie Showing
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by UCLA’s Special Advisor to the Chancellor on Native American and Indigenous Affairs Mishuana Goeman and California Native Plant Society and Indigenous advocates. \nREGISTER HERE \nPANELISTS: \n\n\n\nHeidi Lucero (Acjachemen and Mustun Ohlone)\nSamantha Morales Johnson (Gabrielino Tongva)\nKimberly Morales Johnson (Gabrielino Tongva)\nNick Rocha (Gabrielino Shoshone)\nCraig Torres (Tongva)\n\n\n\nSage smudging has become a viral trend. What’s the truth behind the smoke? \n“Saging” has become common in movies\, TV shows\, social media\, and cleansing rituals–people burning sage bundles in the hope of purifying space and clearing bad energy. Instead of healing\, the appropriated use of saging in popular culture is having a harmful effect. \nIndigenous communities have tended a relationship with white sage for thousands of generations. White sage (Salvia apiana) only occurs in southern California and northernBaja California\, Mexico. Today\, poachers are stealing metric tons of this plant from the wild to supply international demand. Saging the World spotlights the ecological and cultural issues intertwined with white sage\, centering the voices of Native advocates who have long protected and cherished this plant. \nThe short documentary was produced by Rose Ramirez\, Deborah Small\, and the California Native Plant Society to foster awareness and inspire action for white sage. For more information on the film and ways to support white sage\, visit cnps.org/sagingtheworld.

SUMMARY:Cajetan Iheka on African Ecomedia
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a virtual talk by Professor Cajetan lheka on his new book African Ecomedia: Network Forms\, Planetary Politics (Duke UP 2021)\, followed by a Q&A session.In African Ecomedia\, Cajetan Iheka examines the ecological footprint of media in Africa alongside the representation of environmental issues in visual culture. Iheka shows how\, through visual media such as film\, photography\, and sculpture\, African artists deliver a unique perspective on the socioecological costs of media production\, from mineral and oil extraction to the politics of animal conservation. These works highlight not only the exploitation of African workers and the vast scope of environmental degradation but also the resourcefulness and creativity of African media makers. They point to the unsustainability of current practices while acknowledging our planet’s finite natural resources. In foregrounding Africa’s centrality to the production and disposal of media technology\, Iheka shows the important place visual media has in raising awareness of and documenting ecological disaster even as it remains complicit in it. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Surplus Stop Move Out
DESCRIPTION:Did you know that the average college student creates 640 pounds of trash annually\, the majority of which accumulates at move-out? From clothes\, to books\, to food\, to furniture\, many students opt to throw away items to avoid bringing everything back home. \nMany of these materials\, which one Bruin may no longer need\, are useful and reusable to another Bruin. The UCLA Surplus Stop is a space to give furniture\, electronics\, and other items a second life and keep items out of the landfill. \nJoin us next week on the Hill for a special Surplus Stop collection and give your stuff a second chance! \nMORE INFORMATION
