The Cost of Climate Change (Recorded April 25, 2022)
Climate change is causing more intense heat waves, more intense rainfall, and higher coastal flooding, causing economic harms around the world, including in New Jersey. Professor Bob Kopp was a lead author of the 2021 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s Sixth Assessment Report. Professor Kopp discusses what we know about climate change’s economic costs and how we can manage the risks climate change is creating.
Starting a Native Plant Garden
New to native plant gardening? Not sure which native plants will thrive where you live? Angela Monaghan, Master Gardener Coordinator for Middlesex County, taught us how to start native plants from seed back in the fall, 2020. Angela had so much fun with us that she came back to help you plan your new native plant habitat. She covers garden site assessment, finding the best native plants for your area, and how to provide resources for pollinators and other beneficial creatures in your garden.
RU Ready for NJ's New Plastic Pollution Reduction Law?
Starting November 2021, NJ's new plastics law went into effect to help reduce the amount of single-use plastics and protect our natural environment.

Hint: Say YES to reusables!
What's an Energy Audit and Do You Need One?
Many homes use more energy than they actually need. The solution is a home energy efficiency assessment (aka audit). An energy efficiency assessment does more than help you save energy—it increases your personal comfort, makes your home healthier/safer and increases the value of your home. Join Sandi Eisner, the Outreach Account Manager with New Jersey’s Clean Energy Program™ to learn the what, how and why of a home energy efficiency assessment as well as how to save energy and money.
Food Systems and Climate Change
Hear from Xenia Morin, Associate Professor with the New Jersey Institute for Food, Nutrition and Health (IFNH) to learn how our food systems are connected to climate change. You'll learn how many of the top 100 climate solutions proposed by Project Drawdown are related to food systems, and how you can reduce your impact at home through food.
