[LincolnTalk] Stop Private Jet Expansion stand outs
Our weekly Lincoln stand outs on Rt 2A are over for the season. It is a bit chilly and dark these days. We are so grateful for all those friends and allies who showed up weekly to hold signs and wave to passers-by. Thanks for the great conversations and commitment to stopping this private jet expansion project. Private jet expansion will increase our greenhouse gas emissions at a time when we must be doing all we can to reduce them. There is still much to be done, so please check the website athttp://www.stopprivatejetexpansion.org for ways to stay involved.

[LincolnTalk] Leaf blowers
Sending out a friendly reminder that from now until March 20th, 2023 only battery powered or electric leaf blowers are permitted. Lincoln passed a leaf blower bylaw back in 2019 thanks to the hard work of the Leaf Blower Study Group. We are very appreciative of their work. Since then, many cities, towns and states across the country have regulated and restricted gas powered leaf blowers for the following reasons: 1)Noise pollution --Gas powered leaf blowers may be as high as 80-90 decibels, electric leaf blowers in the 65-70 decibel range 2) Reduce fossil fuel use--Lincoln is committed to a swift transition to zero carbon emissions. 3) Air pollution--the leaf blowers ( particularly the more powerful gas powered ones) send all those soil particulates into the air where they worsen air quality and are bad for human health, especially children and those with chronic respiratory conditions. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/25/opinion/leaf-blowers-california-emissions.html https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/25/opinion/leaf-blowers-california-emissions.html So whenever possible replace your gas powered leaf blower with an electric model and ask your landscape company to do the same. Many in town use EcoQuiet lawn care. Check out their website https://www.ecoquietlawncare.com/ https://www.ecoquietlawncare.com/ And then there is the other BIG question...should we really be blowing our leaves away? Leaves are an integral part of soil health and in removing them we also lose habitat for important pollinators. Check out Leave Leaves Alone, a NY website and stay tuned for more info from Lincoln Common Ground, a subgroup of Mothers Out Front Lincoln https://www.leaveleavesalone.org/#:~:text=Please%20note%20that%20using%20a,hand%20or%20with%20a%20rake https://www.leaveleavesalone.org/#:~:text=Please%20note%20that%20using%20a,hand%20or%20with%20a%20rake .

Re: [LincolnTalk] For this concerned about climate change (I assume the is everyone)...
Thanks for sharing Sara. It is good to see the military reducing its green house gas emissions.

[LincolnTalk] Supporting Donelans and its Sustainable Products
Introducing Zero Waste Lincoln Support Donelans and its sustainable products! Zero Waste Lincoln is a sub group of Mothers Out Front. We formed during the pandemic at the request of town management and the DPW. Lincoln’s beloved Swap Shed had been closed for safety reasons and residents and Mothers Out Front Lincoln were eager to have it be reopened. After much brainstorming, we decided to create Zero Waste Lincoln. So the Swap Shed and the Book Room have been successfully open again for the past 18 months with the support of the DPW and so many wonderful town volunteers. Thousands of items have found new homes with Lincoln families or have been delivered to organizations who will reuse them. But Zero Waste Lincoln also works on the purchasing side of our trash problem. Donelans have become an important ally in making sure that when we shop, there are sustainable options. Jason Deveau, the manager, is happy to find non plastic options for products. Here are a few of the new more sustainable products you can find at Donelans ….Laundry detergent in cardboard –3 brands available ….Shampoo and conditioner bars –Brixy brand ….100% recycled toilet tissue and paper towels–2 brands available ….compostable single use plates/utensils/cold cups and straws ….compostable trash bags ….100% recycled aluminum foil …Juices–large selection of flavors all in glass bottles …paper bags for school lunches ….Single us water bottles in aluminum ….and of course, choose fruits and vegetables that are in season, grown locally and not packaged in plastic. So check out Donelans…challenge your children to search the aisles for items not in plastic! The consumer choices we make send strong messages about the products we want to see on the shelves. Let us know of other products you would like to see in our local stores pmok...@comcast.net mailto:pmok...@comcast.net If you are curious about Zero Waste Practices, we would welcome your ideas, energy and talents, so please join us.

Re: [LincolnTalk] Inquiry about Swap Table process
Hi Debra, thanks for your interest in the Swap Shed. This month is the 1 year anniversary of our newly imagined Swap Shed reopening. With the support and collaboration of the DPW, a Zero Waste Lincoln committee was formed. We reached out to the town for volunteers and have been overwhelmed with gratitude at how many people reached out to help. Items in the Swap Shed remain there for a period of timeour goal is to send as little as possible into the trash to be incinerated. We are constantly amazed at how all sorts of items find a home to be reused. Our volunteers remove items from the Swap shed and deliver them to many organizations who can reuse/ repurpose them. We deliver to Household Goods in Acton, Restore in Boston, Buddy Dog in Sudbury, Savors in Framingham, Goodwill, More than Words in Waltham and even the Vases get returned to local florists for reuse. We try really hard to find new homes for items. Our community is so happy to have the Swap Shed back up and running and Zero Waste Lincoln is eager for more people to be involved, so please reach out if you are interested or have any ideas about how we as a community can reduce our trash.

[LincolnTalk] Conservation Law Foundation: The Future is Electric March 24, 2022 | 5:30 PM-
Join the Conservation Law Foundation and friends in visualizing the future of clean energy happening right now in our work, in your town, and even in your kitchen! As we watched gas and electricity prices increase this season, we also saw their suppliers cry that the solution to our supposed energy shortage is more fossil fuel infrastructure - more disruptive fracking, more fragile and explosive pipelines slithering underneath our homes, and more toxic fumes that pollute our air. But we know that fossil fuels cause indiscriminate damage to our climate. That polluting emissions warm our world, corrupt our air, and bring extreme weather to our communities. https://connect.xfinity.com/appsuite/#!!=io.ox/mail=default0/INBOX A great opportunity for our community to learn more about electrification as a way to reduce our use of fossil fuels.

Re: [LincolnTalk] Citizen's Petition for Town meeting
Dear Pat Thanks so much for your interest in this Citizen's petition. Hopefully you can join us on Thursday 3/17 at 3pm as we all share ideas and learn together about electrification of buildings as a way to combat the climate emergency. The link is below. * Mar 17, 2022 03:00 PM https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81095315671 https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81095315671 Meeting ID: 810 9531 5671 Please know that this is just the very beginning of the process. We are in no way interested in rushing any new bylaws in Lincoln. There will be plenty of time and reflection and input from our citizens to determine what is best for our community. To be clear, the Citizen's petition, if passed, would simply ask the legislature to give Lincoln the option to require new construction to be all electric. In the meantime, Lincoln could begin a robust discussion about what works best for our town and would require a vote at a town meeting in the future. I hope this helps clear up some of your concerns.

Citizen’s Petition — Restrict Fossil Fuel Systems in New Buildings Related to climate change advocacy, a group of residents is asking Town Meeting to support a petition to the state legislature that would require new construction be all-electric for heating, cooling, and indoor cooking. Lincoln would join other towns who similarly have petitioned the state. The changes are necessary to help achieve the statewide reductions in greenhouse gas emissions nset in the climate act signed in March 2021. Learn more at Zoom meetings on Monday 3/14, 7-8pm, and Thursday, 3/17, 3-4pm (links below), or call Trish O’Hagan (781-248-5657) or Paul Shorb (617-543-5590) with questions.

Re: [LincolnTalk] town-wide aggregate utility program
Just look up Lincoln Green Energy Choice on the town website. And have a copy of your electricity bill with you. And for at least the next 6 months you can buy 100% local Renewable electricity for a lower price than Eversource. Thank you so much for considering this amazing programme. The only way we can reach our Greenhouse Gas emission reduction goals is by electrification and using renewable sources to make that electricity. Happy to talk about it with you if you would like Trish O'Hagan > On 01/10/2022 9:58 PM Annamaria San Antonio > wrote: > > > > Hi, > > Can anyone point me in the right direction where to learn more about > Lincoln's town-wide utility program? > > Thank you > > ~Jai Anna > > > -- > The LincolnTalk mailing list. > To post, send mail to Lincoln@lincolntalk.org. > Search the archives at http://lincoln.2330058.n4.nabble.com/. > Browse the archives at > https://pairlist9.pair.net/mailman/private/lincoln/. > Change your subscription settings at > https://pairlist9.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/lincoln. > > -- The LincolnTalk mailing list.

[LincolnTalk] ISO shelving or a table for Lincoln's Swap Shed
The Swap Shed at the transfer station is looking for donations of some shelves ( plastic or wire preferably, but wood is OK) and a couple of tables. They need to be sturdy, but do not need to be in good condition. The success of the newly imagined Swap Shed with an emphasis on Zero Waste is a community effort and we appreciate everyone who volunteers/ donates/comes by to "shop" with their children. But as we are no longer throwing items out at the end of each day, we do need to work a little harder at keeping it organized and not overflowing. Extra shelving and tables will help us in this. So please reach out and we can arrange pick up/drop off. Best wishes, Trish O'Hagan Mothers Out Front Lincoln 781 248 5657-- The LincolnTalk mailing list.

[LincolnTalk] Lincoln Green Energy Choice--Yard signs coming down BUT you can still sign up!
Thanks very much to everyone who has hosted a lawn sign to boost awareness of the 100% renewable energy option under the Lincoln Green Energy Choice option. We are so grateful to all the residents who have chosen to make a significant environmental impact by "opting up" to 100% renewable energy. But while we are thrilled with the community support, we are hopeful that more residents will continue to sign up athttp://www.LincolnGreenEnergyChoice.com . Yesterdays Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change ( IPCC) report was a stark reminder of the reality of the Climate Crisis, as they called it a "code red for humanity". Yet we are fortunate in Lincoln to have an easy and affordable option to move away from fossil fuels and towards a renewable energy future. It is so great to see all the electric cars in Lincoln but we must ensure that that electricity used to power those cars is coming from 100% renewable sources. ( Did you know that New England still has a coal fired power plant in Bow New Hampshire that is used on very hot or cold days when demand is high?). Please reach out if you have any questions or want to join us. We chose lawn signs made of paper stock instead of plastic. (Most plastic is made from fossil fuels and its production typically results in the release of potent global-warming gases like methane.) So as expected, those that are still up now look a little dilapidated. We plan to come around to collect them and recycle their materials. Feel free to recycle your own or, if you still love having your sign up and don't want us to collect it, contact Trisha O'Hagan at pmok...@comcast.net mailto:pmok...@comcast.net . Again, we are so appreciate to everyone who opted up to 100%consider inviting a friend or neighbour to do the same. Best, Trisha O'Hagan -- The LincolnTalk mailing list.
