Climate Action Cottage Grove continues
climate education presentations Friday
In March, with grow-
ing concern over the risk
of COVID-19 infection
posed by public gather-
ings, the organizers of the
Climate Action Town Hall
decided to postpone the
event as well as a planned
series of follow-up events
and work sessions until
the danger to the public
had passed.
However, even during
an ongoing pandemic,
Climate Action Cottage
Grove believes finding
solutions to the environ-
mental crisis facing the
planet and its impacts on
the local community is
still essential.
Utilizing the virtu-
al meeting technology
of Zoom, the group will
present the first in a se-
ries of educational talks
on “climate collapse” this
Friday, May 8, from 7 to
8:30 p.m.
“Climate Change Here,
There, and Everywhere:
Understanding the Sci-
ence to Create A Regen-
erative Future for All,”
with presenter Tao Orion,
will provide an overview
of the science of climate
change, looking at how
humanity has impacted
the environment and how
that information can be
used to chart a course to-
wards a just and regenera-
tive future for human and
non-human communities
in this region and beyond.
Orion is the co-owner
of Resilience Permacul-
ture Design, LLC, a firm
specializing in holistic
farm, forest, water man-
agement and restoration
planning. She is the au-
thor of “Beyond the War
on Invasive Species: A
Permaculture Approach
to Ecosystem Restoration”
(2015).
She holds a degree in
agroecology and sustain-
able agriculture from UC
Santa Cruz, and grows
fruits, vegetables, seeds,
nuts, animals and soil on
her southern Willamette
Valley homestead, Viridi-
tas Farm.
Orion volunteers with
the Cottage Grove Cli-
mate Action Group, the
Oregon Climate and Ag-
riculture Network, and
serves on the Board of Di-
rectors of Aprovecho and
the Cerro Gordo Land
Conservancy.

Crisis network to support senior needs
The Earth and So-
cial Justice Commit-

created community-led
Crisis Response Net-
work, will use a $2,500

to provide food, basic
supplies and prepared
meals to seniors.
Partnering with the
City of Cottage Grove,
the Crisis Network sent
postcards listing senior
resources and the num-
ber of a volunteer staffed
helpline to 3,743 house-
holds in South Lane.
The postcard was a
condensed version of

to support community
needs during the pan-
demic by coordinating
local resources and orga-
nizations.
