Organic Farming Movement - Film & Discussion, Lawrence Library
Friday, Sept. 5, 2 to 4 p.m., Lawrence Headquarters Branch 2751 Brunswick Pike Lawrenceville. 609-883-8292
Join Al Johnson, director and Vice-President of the Northeast Organic Farming Association (NOFA), for a documentary screening and discussion on the organic farming movement. In the 1970s, activists opposing the Vietnam War, nuclear power, and voter suppression turned their energy toward healthy food and the environment. This shift birthed the northeast organic farming movement, now chronicled in Al's documentary "Organic Roots – 50 Years of Northeast Organic Farming Association." Al, an organic farmer and certification inspector for five decades, captures this journey beautifully in his film. This program is co-sponsored by the 60’s group. Registration is requested.

Science Under the Stars: Neighborhood-Scale Mapping of Extreme Heat in Trenton, NJ Using Thermal Data and Community Weather Sensors
Sept. 13, 4:15 p.m.
Speaker: Dr. Nate Magee, The College of New Jersey Professor Nate Magee and students Sam Ehret, Mikayla Angelini, and Hector Arroyo-Quintana from The College of New Jersey have been working to identify neighborhoods and blocks in Trenton that regularly experience dangerous heat conditions during increasingly hot, humid summers. Urban heat islands caused by dense buildings and sparse vegetation are common throughout cities in the US, though relatively little work has been done to ensure that these risks are well understood and addressed in mid-sized cities like Trenton. Combining advanced remote sensing technologies with newly installed community weather stations, the team is aiming to empower Trenton students, families, workers, and policy-makers by providing improved access to live, local environmental data.
