  • Saturday, September 23, 2017 Letter from the Presenting Sponsor
    present the Environmental Media Awards Celebrating OUTSTANDING achievement within the ENTERTAINMENT and ENVIRONMENTAL communities #EMAAWARDS Saturday, September 23, 2017 Letter from the presenting sponsor Good evening ladies and gentleman, On behalf of Toyota and Lexus, welcome to the 27th annual Environmental Media Awards! Tonight we are honored to serve as presenting sponsors and celebrate the 17th anniversary of our partnership with the Environmental Media Association. Over the past 17 years, we’ve helped honor the thought leaders that inspire millions to lead more environmentally conscious lives. Tonight we continue to celebrate the efforts of the entertainment industry and celebrities that shape our culture. After all these years, we are still inspired by EMA’s efforts to promote environmental awareness using the powerful medium of entertainment. Tonight we’ve brought an inspiring vehicle line up to the party. The 2017 Toyota Mirai hydrogen fuel cell vehicle returns to the green carpet. As one of the world’s first mass-produced hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles, the Toyota Mirai is a four-door, mid- size sedan with performance that fully competes with traditional internal combustion engines – but uses no gasoline. Instead, Mirai creates electricity on demand using hydrogen, oxygen and a fuel cell, and emits nothing but water vapor in the process. Lexus is excited to showcase its all-new hybrid luxury sedan, the LS 500h. With smooth power and an estimated 33 miles per gallon on the highway, it has a range of more than 600 miles of luxurious driving. On sale in February 2018 with a starting price around $80,000, the LS 500h will be the luxury sedan of choice for environmentally minded drivers.

  • Women in the Environment
    Women in the Environment Educational materials and resources that focus on the contribution women have made to the study and protection of our environment from the past to the present. The Department of Energy and Environmental Protection’s, DEEP, mission is conserving, protecting, and improving the natural resources and environment of our state. DEEP is responsible for monitoring and regulating water, air, and land pollution in order to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the people of Connecticut and to preserve and enhance the quality of life for future generations. By looking at the past we can plan for the future. This activity packet provides you with the tools and information to research advances women have made in environmental sciences and the roles they have played as leaders. The early stigma of women not being able to master sciences has lasted well into the 20th century. However, there were early pioneers researching, recording and physically advancing the natural sciences and the role of conservation and environmental health. Today, women are found in all areas of study from the field to the laboratory. They are involved in policy making, education and enforcement throughout the world. This packet is a starting point for all students to investigate the past, present and future roles women play in the protection and understanding of our natural resources and serve as role models for future generations. Thank you for your interest in our programs. If you have any questions or wish for more information about educational workshops, events, or programs please contact us at DEEP’s Kellogg Environmental Center http://www.ct.gov/dep/kellogg P.O.

  • 2012 Honor the Earth Grant Awards
    “… seems like people don’t feel like sticking around another thousand years…” -Mike Wiggins, Tribal Chairman, Bad River Band of Anishinaabeg, in comments regarding the proposed GTAC mine in the Penokee Hills. We want to be the people who stick around another thousand years. We would like fresh water to drink, air that is full of life, and a land with a gift of soil. We wish for all of our relatives – whether they have feet, fins, wings, hooves, paws, hands or roots – to be alive and well. This is our hope, our covenant, and our work. We are joined by many who wish for the same good life, Minobimaatiziiwin, for their children, and those to come. To do this, we must be vigilant, we must be conscious, and we must be thoughtful about where it is that we are going. All the while, we must be grateful for the many gifts we have been given. This is the work we undertook this year at Honor the Earth, and so it is that we wandered from the far north in the Athabascan River delta, home of Dene people, Cree people, and, more recently, the tar sands, to the far east we travelled the land of the Mi’kMaq, the land of the Lummi, and, to the southwest, the beautiful Dine Bii Kaya. We wish to help our peoples protect all lands that we love. Honor the Earth continues to play a unique role in our community and our time – a role where we are able to draw attention through media, music, and organizing work to those who are on the front lines of the struggles to protect our land from desecration, mining companies, extreme extraction, fossil fuels, and pipelines.

  • PROTECTING OUR HOME Lnative Leaders, Tribal Colleges, Western Scientists Collaborate
    PROTECTING OUR HOME lNative Leaders, Tribal Colleges, Western Scientists Collaborate NASA-AIHEC SUMMARY lAddressing the Impacts of Climate Change “Our Mother Earth has a fever. We must work together to make her well.” This heart felt appeal by Arvol Looking Horse, Lakota elder and spiritual leader, set the tone of the Native Peoples Native Homelands Workshop as he addressed the nearly 400 attendees who gathered at Prior Lake, MN, November 2009. His words are also a potent description of the mission of the workshop convened by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in partnership with the American Indian Higher Education Consortium (AIHEC) and the nation’s 36 Tribal Colleges and Universities. In 1998, Nancy Maynard, currently NASA Tribal College and University Project Manager, realized that Native peoples had been left out of the United States National Climate Change Assessment process. To make sure Native peoples would be included in that U.S. assessment, she put together the first Native Peoples Native Homelands Climate Change Workshop.
