SUMMARY:MCL Land Use\, Transportation\, & Water Committee Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Marin Conservation League\nLand Use\, Transportation\, & Water Committee\n10:00 am-12:00 pm\nIn-person/ Zoom Hybrid\nRegister: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZMsdeuprjgqH9XMXRT0ZVWwTUjD-JW0QNlJ \nMAY 6: LEARN HOW GREENBELT ALLIANCE IS TAKING ON HOUSING AS AN ENVIRONMENTAL AND CLIMATE SOLUTION   \nJessie Rountree from Greenbelt Alliance will be our guest speaker. Jessie will share how Greenbelt Alliance is encouraging Climate SMART housing in the Bay Area to reduce greenhouse gas emissions\, increase our resilience to climate-related risks\, and avoid habitat disruption through sprawl. She will introduce us to their Endorsement Program which applies criteria and expert review to housing across the Bay Area. Together\, we will also explore ways to improve future projects like local ordinance requirements for addressing sea level rise and wildfire hazards\, as well as how to better integrate transportation and infrastructure improvements needed to support new housing. \nJessie Rountree is the Marin Resilience Manager at Greenbelt Alliance. Jessie works alongside partners and communities to create a shared vision for resilience\, one that brings together equity\, conservation\, and abundant climate-SMART housing. Jessie is a Marin County resident\, nature enthusiast\, and an active member of MCL. \nLIGHT POLLUTION – INTRODUCTION OF DRAFT “DARK SKIES” POLICY POSITION \nNighttime lighting can create damaging pollution from ambient light (glow) and excessive glare. Laura Arndt of DarkSky West Marin will explore the impacts of light pollution on wildlife\, bird migration\, and human well-being\, while Anna Kondoff\, lighting consultant\, will discuss ways to address it. \n \nMCL has been studying this issue and has found that there are ways and means to minimize night lighting while maintaining needed safety. MCL has developed a draft policy position statement that advocates for “dark skies.” This draft policy statement will be introduced for discussion at this meeting. \nJoin us to learn more and to participate in this discussion.  You can prepare by watching this 14-min video of DarkSky advocate Bettymaya Foote: “Changing the World at the Speed of Light.” \nPlease register above to join us!
