Location: Widener University, WEBB Room - 701 E. 14th St., Chester PA 19013 (meet at 9am outside building by clock) City of Chester is one location being considered as a place for an LNG export terminal.

Webinar: Why Should We Car About, Advocate for a Climate-Friendly Federal Farm Bill
Video of event which occurred August 16 at: https://paipl.us/2023-08-16-why-we-all-should-care-and-advocate-for-a-climate-friendly-farm-bill-with-pa-ipl-jea/
Description of event:
This meeting, recorded Wednesday, August 16, 2023, is part of PA IPL’s ongoing partnership with the Jewish Earth Alliance (JEA).
SPEAKER:
Michael Mehrazar – Campaign Manager at Penn Future
Michael leads an informational session on why & how to advocate for a Farm Bill that takes climate issues into account and will be positive for the environment.
Every five years Congress needs to pass a new Farm Bill. Emissions caused by farming practices are worsening the climate crisis, but farms can also be a solution. Congress is investing huge sums in agriculture, and this money should be directed to help farmers mitigate and adapt to climate change by paying farmers to reduce emissions, on-farm renewable energy, and research on soil health. As the Farm Bill is negotiated, climate change must be a priority.
76% of PA voters agree that the government should encourage farmers to use climate-friendly practices.
After learning about the importance of a climate friendly Farm Bill and why it should include the Agriculture Resilience Act, and EQIP (Environmental Quality Incentives Program) Improvement Act, we will ask you to ask your US Representative and Senators to support these measures.
JEA provides ongoing training and templates for monthly letter writing campaigns to local, state, and federal officials. The meetings provide a template, information, and guidance for all those who are interested in amplifying the message of Climate Justice.

Innovation in renewable energy technology continues and shows increasing promise in addressing climate change effectively as well as demonstrates the complexity of the problem. We are replaying these interviews because of summer vacations. The SEPTA interview, even though previously aired, is timely because of current issues about the SEPTA gas plant.
- Dr. John Hall is Assistant Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of Buffalo School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. He will talk about developments in wind energy technology and their pros and cons.
- Dr. Nasir Mahmood is a Vice-Chancellor’s Senior Research Fellow at RMIT in Melbourne, Australia. He will be talking about his team’s work developing a new process for making hydrogen fuel out of sea water (not fresh water) addressing long term environmental problems in hydrogen manufacture.
- Lisa Hastings and Lynn Robinson live in Philadelphia and have been environmental activists on behalf of the residents there for many years. Lynn is the Director of Neighbors Against the Gas Plants. Lisa is a scientist by training and a life-long environmental advocate. They will be discussing SEPTA’s (Philadelphia’s public transportation provider) request to renew the permit for their natural gas plant in Nicetown and the effects of this plant on this environmental justice community.

Updating you on environmental economic issues that affect the whole world as well as in the US. We explore ways that economic resources can be redeployed to lessen climate change risks. Our particular emphasis is the role of the World Bank and what it is doing environmentally; we spoke to someone outside the World Bank as well as someone inside it.
- Richard Damania is the chief Economist of the Sustainable Development Practice Group at the World Bank, having had various positions at the World Bank before that. He has published articles in many scientific journals and is on the Editorial Board of several prestigious scientific journals. Richard gives us an insider’s view of the World Bank and its recent report advising the redirection of fossil fuel subsidies internationally towards lowering climate change, protecting our health, the economy, and our food.
- Steve Hanley is a retired attorney who for the past ten years has been a lead author for CleanTechnica.com which covers the transition to clean energy and clean transportation for an international audience. From an outsider’s point of view, he tells us about the World Bank’s recent report detailing how world-wide subsidies of fossil fuel industries can be redirected to reduce climate change.
- Deanna Noel is the campaigns director for the nonprofit Public Citizen’s Climate Program which advocates for financial institutions and regulators to act on climate change.
