Spot ethanol prices in Chicago and the New York Harbor reversed higher Tuesday afternoon, boosted by modest gains for Chicago Board of Trade corn futures and seasonal strength for New York Mercantile Exchange RBOB futures. Prompt supply at the Kinder Morgan-operated Argo terminal in the Chicago market traded ten times during the aftermarket window at $1.465, $1.4675, $1.47 and $1.4725 gallon for a 1.25cts. At the Harbor, March barged ethanol was bid at $1.5675 gallon with an offer talked at $1.5725 gallon, up 1.0cts.

Valuing Community
Cask Global Canning Solutions passes on the philanthropic torch to the next generation
By: Lysandra Nothing
The Love family takes their namesake to heart, with a tradition of working together and giving back to the community. The Calgary-based Loves have run a family business since 1905 when patriarch James Love founded the J.E. Love and Sons feed store. In the early 1980s, the Loves pivoted into craft brewing and began supplying equipment and ingredients to brewers across Canada, the U.S. and Australia. In 1999, the craft brewing industry began to decline due to oversupply. But the family wasn't deterred by the challenge, and instead found creative and economical ways to stay in business.
In 2002, the Loves established Cask Global Canning Solutions, an innovative and affordable aluminum canning system for craft beverages of all types, such as beer, cider, wine, coldbrew coffee, kombucha and more. The game-changing aluminum canning system was the first of its kind and, today, has more than 1,800 canning systems throughout 67 countries. From headquarters in Canada to the United States, Europe, Hong Kong and beyond, Cask is leading the micro-canning industry.
With all its success, Cask and the Love family wouldn't be where they are today without Michael Love, a beloved brother, son and uncle who passed away from cancer in 2010. Michael's death forever changed the hearts and minds of the family and friends left behind.
"He was certainly an integral part of our organization, but, even more so, he was a great uncle to all our kids," says Jim Love, former vice-president of Cask, who describes his brother, Michael, as "very smart and respected."
Since 2015, Cask has supported the Alberta Cancer Foundation's Patient Financial Assistance Program (PFAP) in honour and memory of Michael. PFAP provides financial relief to families and patients throughout diagnosis and treatment. That first year, Cask donated $5,000. The following year, the donation increased to $10,000, then $20,000. Cask continued to give $25,000 per year since 2018 — the donations quickly became a tradition. While donations were initially made in memory of Michael, Cask's continued support reflects the fact that all of its 80 employees have, in one way or another, been impacted by cancer, including company president John Howey, whose wife, Marcie, was recently diagnosed.
In 2021, the company provided a matching gift of up to $25,000 for the Alberta Cancer Foundation's end-of-year direct mail and email campaign. This donation was particularly meaningful to Cask, as one staff member had just lost a brother to the illness and the spouse of another was diagnosed with cancer. Cask has since pledged another $100,000 gift in support of the Calgary Cancer Centre with the goal of providing a $25,000 annual match for the Patient Financial Assistance Program through this campaign.
The email campaign aims to inspire donors in the community to support the Foundation, and its emphasis on the importance of giving back speaks to a value that is part of Cask's culture.
"I think it's important to be involved in the community and to make our imprint, but also to make sure we're contributing to the community," says Jim.
Cask is passing on the philanthropic torch to the next generation of leadership with high hopes and expectations for the team to lead the business in a demanding industry and marketplace. The fourth generation will continue to support the Alberta Cancer Foundation and nurture the community even as the business grows.
"I was given the opportunity by my father, and he was given the opportunity by his father, so it's nice to be able to pass that on," says Peter Love, president of Cask, whose own son, Russell Love, will be carrying the torch onwards as CEO. "It's just really exciting, despite the risks and challenges of running your own business.

The Biggest Issue of Our Time
SteynPost #18
https://www.steynonline.com/7981/the-biggest-issue-of-our-time
Longtime SteynOnline regulars will be familiar with the demographic thesis Mark outlined in his 2006 international bestseller America Alone: The End of the World as We Know It. Almost the entire developed world is mired in deathbed demography from which no functioning society has ever recovered. Meanwhile, there is a demographic tsunami underway from the non-functioning parts of the world, manifest in the ceaseless flotilla of boats crossing the Mediterranean every single day (and nothing to do with civil war in Syria).
Mark's book was a big success a decade ago and remains in print. But it is a melancholy fact that most people in the western world remain entirely unaware of this remorseless arithmetic or its likely consequences. So this brand new SteynPost is a kind of primer on recent demographic developments, and where they lead. Click below to watch:
SteynPosts and The Mark Steyn Show are made possible through the support of members of The Mark Steyn Club. Among the pleasures of membership is that you can enjoy our TV content in any medium you desire: video, audio or text. So, if you'd rather sample the above in non-visual form, please log-in here. We're excited to announce that our entire run of SteynPosts, starting with the very first edition, is now available in audio. You can find all those, plus some of the more memorable editions of The Mark Steyn Show, over in our Audio & Transcripts department.
Steyn Club members can also hit the comment threads and tear Mark's arguments to pieces. Mark finds that, when he talks demography, there are always plenty of "Yes, but..." questions, so we plan to devote an upcoming edition of Mark's Mailbox to those.
If you haven't yet experienced the delights of The Mark Steyn Club, you'll find more information here. We've introduced some new features in recent days - including a new poetry corner - and we'll have the third of our nightly audio adventures, Tales for Our Time, starting later this month.

EU-Kazakhstan Cooperation in the Spotlight as President Tokayev Visits Brussels
As Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev recently noted, his official visit to Brussels—his first travel to Europe since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic—comes at an important time both for Central Asia and for the region's relationship with the European Union. Kazakhstan, along with the other Central Asian states, is celebrating the 30th anniversary of its independence from the Soviet Union, a three-decade span which has been marked by deep transformations in Kazakhstan's society and economy and an ever-deepening partnership with the European Union.
"When my predecessor, Nursultan Nazarbayev, visited Brussels for the first time in February 1993," Tokayev reflected, "few could have predicted the extent to which EU-Kazakhstan relations would grow and diversify. What some may initially have seen as a relationship of asymmetric assistance has become one of genuine partnership, based on innumerable overlapping interests and mutual benefits".
Indeed, as Kazakhstan has metamorphosed from a centrally planned economy to an upper-middle income country, trade ties between the EU and Central Asia's largest economy have tightened, with the EU now accounting for some 40% of Kazakhstan's external trade. Political and foreign policy cooperation has increased as well, with the Enhanced Partnership and Cooperation Agreement (ECPA) between the EU and Kazakhstan going into effect on 1 March 2020. This cooperation looks likely to strengthen further in the wake of the crisis in Afghanistan, with top EU diplomat Josep Borrell advising in the wake of the Taliban's takeover of Afghanistan that "Central Asia will become a more strategic and important region for us". Kazakhstan, which is currently hosting the UN Mission to Afghanistan following the deterioration of the situation in Kabul, will undoubtedly play a particularly prominent role in coordinating with the EU on how to stabilise the region.
The question of how Kazakhstan and the EU can collaborate to promote peace and stability in Afghanistan and the broader region will constitute a central topic of conversation during Tokayev's visit to Brussels. On November 25, Tokayev's first day in Brussels, the Afghanistan situation was one of the numerous subjects on the table during his talks with European Council President Charles Michel. The two conferred in particular on the question of transferring humanitarian aid to Afghanistan—an issue on which Kazakhstan is already actively engaged, envisioning Almaty as an international humanitarian hub.
Kazakhstan's own domestic politics also featured on Tokayev's agenda in Brussels, with EU politicians keen for updates on the raft of political and economic reforms which the Kazakh President has put forward since he took office in 2019. As Charles Michel emphasized following his meeting with Tokayev on Thursday, "the EU remains very supportive of Kazakhstan's reform and modernisation agenda". Major reforms implemented by Nur-Sultan so far have been the formal abolition of the death penalty, the first direct mayoral elections held in rural areas, and a number of other measures intended to boost political participation, including the reduction of the threshold for political parties to gain seats in parliament and the institution of a 30% quota for women and young people on parties' electoral lists.
EU politicians and institutions have consistently urged Nur-Sultan to go still further in implementing reforms that support Kazakhstan's civil society, modernise its economy, and strengthen the rule of law in the country. They will undoubtedly be encouraged by Tokayev's declaration during his trip to Brussels that "we must be more transparent across government, and embrace the growing culture of debate, opposition and dialogue […] Protecting human rights and consolidating civil society is an unquestionable duty."
Tokayev also explicitly acknowledged the EU's role in helping Kazakhstan carry out the next phases of reforms, expected to include initiatives to tackle discrimination against women, improve relations with NGOs and ensure that prisoners receive fair treatment in the criminal justice system. "Deep reform takes time, and it takes partnership," the Kazakh president explained. "I am grateful to our European neighbours for their constant dialogue and support in implementing changes which benefit both our citizens and societies".
One of the main goals of European officials' meetings with Tokayev during his visit to Brussels is to evaluate how to parlay this partnership into joint initiatives to tackling some of the most pressing issues of the time, particularly the coronavirus pandemic and the climate crisis. Kassym-Jomart Tokayev and Charles Michel conferred on the response to the coronavirus, including discussing mutual recognition of vaccination passports and vaccines—Kazakhstan has developed its own domestically-produced vaccine, QazVac, which Nur-Sultan is planning to send to Afghanistan and other countries as humanitarian aid.
Climate change also loomed large in the discussions between European officials and the Kazakh president. Tokayev and Belgian PM Alexander de Croo took stock of the situation following the recent COP26 climate summit, discussing their national plans to achieve carbon neutrality. Belgium is aiming to become carbon neutral by 2050 by sharply curbing greenhouse gas emissions and deploying technologies such as carbon capture and storage, while Kazakhstan has pledged full decarbonisation by 2060, banking on large-scale green energy projects.
Many of these green energy projects are set to be carried out with European partners: while in Brussels, Tokayev met with Wolfgang Kropp, the CEO of German-Swedish firm Svevind Energy, and signed a Framework Agreement for an ambitious green hydrogen project in Western Kazakhstan which would rank among the world's largest.
Further prospects for cooperation are likely to emerge as both Kazakhstan and the EU accelerate their green transitions and Kazakhstan continues to carry out important socioeconomic reforms.

If you're like me, all your friends are geeks. But like most things today, the range of the geek spectrum is so wide that the whole insult can be broken down into hundreds of niche (is it neech or nish?) categories. You've got your classic stand-by, the comic book geek who can tell you the backstories of all the characters (extras included) you see in the Xavier Mansion in X2. There's the sci-fi geek who's read every Robert Heinlein book, can summarize the plotlines of both new and old series of Battlestar Galactica, and can give you a rundown of the military classes of the Galactic Empire from the Emperor's Royal Guard (red guys) down to the camouflaged peons patrolling the forest moon of Endor. Then you've got your techno-geeks; the kind of people that hang on every loaded word uttered by Michael Arrington, have 3 cell phones all with different service providers, and who jail-broke their iPhones on the 1.1.2 software release. These people thrive on a superiority complex. They are who my friends are of course, certainly not me in any capacity.
Until recently these scenes were only made apparent by word of mouth and internet forum arguments. A great new site called MovieStinger, introduced to me by one of my geek friends Kyle, does all the work for you, giving you a list of every movie (past and present) that features some kind of post-credits Easter egg and letting you rate how important the scene actually is.
Needless to say, in the geek culture that my social circle inhabits this is one site that could become very useful. Nightly debates about the IMDb credits of an actor in the background of a bad 90's movie inevitably turn to some pretty serious one-upping contests. With MovieStinger I need only surf in to see what movies I need to stay longer at, without the risk of waiting for nothing (see: Star Trek). I'll be able to calmly and cooly lean down the line of my geek friends at our screening of Up this weekend and say, "Hey guys, make sure you stay 'til the credits are done on this one" [simultaneous eye-brow raise and head nod]. When you hang out with a bunch of geeks, there's no limit to how geek you can go. At least with MovieStinger I won't have to troll Ain't It Cool forums to stay up on it all this summer movie season. Thanks, MovieStinger!

A tale of two metals
RailEngineer
On the face of it, copper wins hands down on electrical conductivity and it would seem that aluminium's only advantage is its low density at just 30% of copper.
But, and there's a large 'but', copper is, and always has been, very expensive. By any standard, metal prices are volatile – sometimes wildly so. Copper has gone from an historic low in 1999 to today's high level, but it has always been much more expensive than aluminium. In fact, the ratio is generally about 3:1 which has a couple of significant impacts on the railway industry.
First of all, of course, there is the cost of raw materials in any signalling scheme involving power distribution. But secondly, there is the continuing high cost of disruption because of attempts, successful or otherwise, by villains to steal copper cable. High metal prices mean high scrap prices and for many the temptations are just too great.
As several articles in The Rail Engineer have outlined, there are strategies to mitigate the risks of theft. Including identifying strips in the cables, the use of Smartwater, burying cables at depth, there are all sorts of measures but not everywhere can be covered.
The cunning plan
Tahir Ayub, Network Rail's senior design authority engineer working within the national signalling innovations group in Infrastructure
Projects, is on the case. Last December you may have read our article on his successful launch of Network Rail's strategy to use class II based signalling power supplies which reduces the copper required in distribution systems by a third.
In the concluding seconds of our interview with Tahir, he alluded briefly to an ambition to eliminate the remaining copper and that he had a 'cunning plan'. We were sworn to secrecy because, at that stage, the plan had not been announced to the industry. He shared the overall strategy at a signalling suppliers' conference late last year. Since then he's been working to firm up on detail and so we can now reveal what's in his plan.
"This is a particularly ambitious project. Our driver is firstly to reduce our cost base in line with the Regulator's target of a year-on-year reduction in signalling costs. That is set at around 5% and, if we're able to deliver our plan to eliminate copper, then we may make a contribution of around 20% to the target. So this presents a significant business opportunity for reducing the cost of our overall signalling systems. That's our 'tier one' benefit. We've also been living with the menace of cable theft and, although we've adopted a range of offsetting measures, nobody has had a discourse about getting rid of copper altogether. This is probably because it's not as easy as it sounds."
Real-life, long term experiment
Indeed it is not as simple as it sounds. Switching over to aluminium has been tried already. Back in the seventies, oil prices hit the roof and many other commodity prices followed suite. The same imperatives worked on the railway industry then and the aluminium solution was tried out. The railways were not alone. The general power industry embarked on the same course. It is easy to say that mistakes were made then, but the move was a bold one at the time.
Some of the original, solid core cables are still in use today and effectively the railways have benefited from the practical results of a real-life, long term experiment. There have been problems with material weathering, water ingress and connectivity issues. There is galvanic action where the two metals connect. This, along with thermal movements, leads to high-resistance connections and reliability issues.
The outside world set about solving all the issues, but seemed to concentrate on high voltage cabling. This includes anything above 1,000 volts. So for high distribution voltages – 400kV, 33kV, 11kV, 6kV – aluminium is still widely used, and used successfully.
New system design strategy
"What we're proposing is a new solution that integrates aluminium. The cable is only one aspect of the overall solution. It's an important part, but there's a wide raft of other design methods, process improvements, products and tools that go around it that make the whole thing happen.
"We can't get rid of copper by just replacing it with aluminium. That's what's different about this workstream. It's a complete system overview and overhaul that allows us to look at the removal of copper. There's a new set of design rules that we're going to develop which will be underpinned by a new system design strategy. As part of our engineering work, we will prepare a case which demonstrates that what we're proposing is safe, operable and maintainable and will give an asset life exceeding 40 years."
Cables sizing involves making sure that there is sufficient capacity to take the required current, but there are also issues involving the ability to react to faults and the need for protecting devices to operate correctly. With cables of anything up to 20km long, this can have the effect of increasing the cable size needed.
An aluminium cable is naturally larger than its copper equivalent. To give an idea, the equivalent of a 50mm2 copper cable is a 95mm2 aluminium one and, as cable sizes increase, so handling and installing difficulties increase. Cables above 120mm2 or 150mm2 become more impractical to install.
Supply point regulation
Tahir's team has come up with a range of measures that offset the increase in cable size. This includes not only new cables but also new protection devices, voltage regulators, booster transformers, soft starts for point machine motors and signalling transformers with enhanced inrush characteristics.
One of the challenges for the railway network is that the supply voltage from a utility is typically 400 volts but, depending on where that supply transformer is positioned, there can be variations. For example, if it's near a steel works or an industrial network, there can be significant fluctuations in voltage. So instead of it arriving at 400 volts, it may only be 380 volts. That's still within the tolerances of the supplying utility but those supply variations really have a significant impact 20km down the railway. The hope is to offset and control such fluctuations by providing regulation devices at supply points so, regardless of the supply voltage, there will be a pre-defined voltage to start the distribution. In that way, the losses in the system can be controlled.
While losses along long lengths of cable cannot be avoided, having sets of strategically positioned booster transformers is being proposed as one way of further offsetting the increase in cable sizes.
Soft-start circuits
Point machines and level crossings are a challenge too. When called by the signalling system to set a route, some of these larger signalling loads cause significant start surges which can exceed three times the running current. Level crossings typically have four barriers and some routes may demand up to a dozen or so machines to operate all at the same time.

Existing power system design methodology has to ensure the voltage at location cases for all signalling objects remains in tolerance in the presence of frequent surges from motor starting. This leads to an increase in the size of signalling feeder cables and power source equipment to allow for the presence of the surges. There are also long term operational impacts which result in stress and wear on the associated DC contactors and motor brushes.
Tahir is proposing that point machines and level crossing barriers are fitted with a soft- start device in the motor circuits to mitigate against over-sizing of the power system.
A longer life for motor brushes and motor contactors, together with reduced power distribution cable and power source size, is a target worth consideration. A couple of the suppliers are excited because there may be global opportunities for this.
In some places, the initial power surge for point machines is provided by a bank of batteries. These need to be charged and replaced when their condition deteriorates. New battery chargers are being considered along with, possibly, super-capacitors. This is technology that is appearing in hybrid cars and buses allowing them to accelerate without draining their batteries. There could be some opportunities to look at what's going on in those sectors and draw some lessons.
Another piece of kit that can demand a high initial power surge is a transformer. The ambition is to move towards even lower inrush transformers so that, when power is switched on and strings of transformers all start up, there is not the need for a large cable size just for the initial surge – before even any load is taken up.
Back in the seventies, the aluminium cables were solid core construction and pretty inflexible. They were difficult to install, especially at under-track crossings. This led to difficulties making good connections and so to reliability issues. Water used to find its way into cables and cause further problems.
The new generation of cable may be a combination of stranded and solid conductor – to make them more flexible – and will incorporate a technology known as 'water blocking'. This is something used as a matter of course in high voltage and telecommunications cable, but it doesn't seem to be used in low voltage power cables. The technique involves using a gel that is sealed within the cable as well as a water blocking tape.
The new flexible and weatherproof cable is, of course, very light so it is possible to get much more cable on a drum of the same weight. This increases the length of cable on a drum which increases the amount of cable that can be laid in possessions.
Connection solutions
So, does this cable actually exist? Well yes, it does. A number of suppliers are currently at the late stage of finalising their developments. "I think it's worth making the point that this is a cable that has not been seen before, and that it embraces much of the technology that has been applied in high voltage aluminium cables which we're now introducing into low voltage cables. We're looking to develop cables from 16mm2 to 150mm2."
A range of specific connection solutions will be developed along with the various cable sizes. That wasn't done when aluminium was installed in the seventies when the connection devices were the same for both copper and aluminium. The idea now is to use some of
the jointing and termination technology that's available for high voltage cables and OLE applications and adapt it for the low voltage equipment. Nothing new is being proposed. It's a straight migration from what is available at present in the conventional power industry.
The suite of solutions to support the introduction of aluminium even includes the cabinets containing terminations or other devices. These have to be designed to accommodate the new connecting devices and must take into account the flexibility characteristics of the new cable.
Where will the cable be – quite literally – rolled out? Tahir hopes to carry out an industry trial at the Network Rail Leicester test site. That will give everyone the opportunity to get a feel of the new solution including all the new products. Soon after that it may appear on a couple of projects both of which are developing aluminium options as a shadow scheme, before being rolled out through the infrastructure.
Three messages
To conclude this tale of two metals, Tahir has some final messages.
The first is to the project managers across the industry: "You're all being challenged to reduce your costs, so this is something that's relatively quite simple that delivers huge cost savings. We in the Network Rail IP Signalling Innovations Group are going to develop a whole power solution which will be supported by a number of products, so you don't have to take any risks."
The second is to the supply chain: "We are seeking collaborative partners and manufacturers to support the development of enhanced unarmoured cable, aluminium termination and connection solutions, booster transformers, voltage regulators, battery chargers, super capacitors, DC soft starts and pluggable solutions for 650V power systems".
And then to the villains who steal Network Rail's cables (and who probably don't read this magazine): "Don't bother with this cable. It just ain't gonna be worth nickin' at all!"

I've always enjoyed mushrooms and the never-ending variety of forms of fungi. Here's my collection of images of Pacific NW fungi from the last few years. Some are from a NW mushroom show, but most are from the Hoh Rainforest or from local hikes, my yard and neighborhood walks.
Fantastic, you've a perceptive eye.
Thanks! It took me 2 hours to walk the 1/2 mile trail at the rainforest. I was fancinated by every little nook and cranny, and the more I looked, the more I saw. I enjoyed trying to frame my findings to catch their small environments too.
whoa! so cool. where was this taken?
Most were in the Hoh Rainforest…see the link above…It's a fascinating place and is nestled in a coastal mountain range and very near the ocean. Wonderful place to vacation and explore on the coast of Washington State.
I am a big shroom fan. To lay down in damp leaves, breathe in the autumn, bring long exposures to places where light doesn't fall. The colours are like cream and gold. I have had some great moments taking pictures of mushrooms.
Yeah, something about them fascinates me, and I do love the places it takes me when I am on the hunt with my camera. I'm always blown away by how many there are when you just start looking. Makes me feel the moisture of fall on this hot, dry summmer day! I can smell the leaves as you describe them.
Thank you for your photographs of fungi. As you have said, the subtle beauty of fungi often goes unnoticed until we take the time to start looking and noticing.
Fantastic fungi you've managed to capture! beautiful pics!
Thanks so much! It seems there are never-ending interesting ones to find and capture.
Glad you enjoyed the collection, and thanks for commenting to let me know!
So different from the fungi that grows in my area. Thanks for the pictures!

Mujora says:
Unconditional love is so vastly different from the love we are used to receiving that most of us don't really know what it is. In fact, most " love " these days isn't actually true love, but instead differing forms of infatuation, lust, affinity, affection, codependency or egotistical neediness.
Gardataur says:
Unconditional Love is a American mid-life re-invention comedy film co-written and directed by PJ Hogan and starring Kathy Bates, Rupert Everett, Dan Ayk.
Moogur says:
There is such a thing as unconditional love in God, but it's not what most people mean by it. It's not a saving love that he has for everybody. Else everybody would be saved, since they would not have to meet any conditions, not even faith. But Jesus said everybody is not saved (Matthew ).
Mazujin says:
Aug 06, · The idea of unconditional love seems to have fallen by the wayside, as more and more of us want love, but are ill-prepared to give or even receive it. To love someone under any circumstance is a true test of unconditional loving, and although it may seem simple, it is probably one of the toughest attributes to possess.

With the generous support of the Canada Council for the Arts, we tested the feasibility of adapting the innovative Creative Green Tools to the Canadian context. We did this by carrying out a year-long research and consultation process involving members of the arts sectors from across the country. Our process included:
Consultations with 44 arts organizations representing every province and territory in Canada – representing a range of different organizational structures and artistic disciplines – to determine the needs of intended users;
Pilot testing of the Tools with 23 user organizations to assess user experience and functionality of the online platform;
Development of a methodology for adapting the tools to the Canadian context, with expert review; and finally,
A published feasibility report (available for download in English and French) based on the above activities that will help to guide the development and implementation of the Creative Green Tools in Canada!
Completing this rigorous research and consultation process allowed us to confidently progress forward with the next steps in a way that was clear, equitable and sensitive to the demonstrated needs of the Canadian arts and culture sector.

The Gallery Climate Coalition (GCC) is a charity founded by a voluntary group of London-based gallerists and professionals working in the commercial arts sector as an attempt to develop a meaningful and industry-specific response to the growing climate crisis.
Although public institutions have been taking significant steps to reduce their carbon footprint and control waste for some time, there seemed to be a lack of equivalent initiatives in the commercial sector. This prompted a group of us to set about developing the tools, strategies, and research required to help make a positive change. This is a work in progress that has extended to all aspects of the visual arts sector.
The GCC website aims to inspire and educate, as well as provide practical tools and information.
Our easy-to-use carbon calculator is available free of charge to all GCC members. This tool has been specifically tailored to the art world and allows users to quickly identify the main elements of their carbon footprint and take immediate action. Data collected (anonymously) via the carbon calculator will also help track progress across our sector.

The first introduction to LCA for cultural heritage preservationists in the United States began with conservator Sarah Nunberg and engineer Matthew Eckelman's initiatives in 2012 when Nunberg invited Eckelman as the introductory lecturer at the AIC Albuquerque Annual Meeting Sustainability Committee Luncheon. Starting in 2013 they worked closely with Pamela Hatchfield and the MFA Boston, providing scenarios for six LCA case studies. Nunberg and Eckelman were joined by museum professional Sarah Sutton in 2016. The project earned a Tier I 2017-2019 National Endowment for Humanities (NEH) research grant awarded to The Foundation for the American Institute for Conservation (FAIC). In 2020 the project was awarded a Tier II NEH Research and Development Grant, which has funded the STiCH project. At this time PhD candidate Sarah Sanchez joined the project in partial fulfillment of her dissertation. Together the team has developed STiCH.

Green Theatre: Taking action on Climate Change report
Mo`olelo Performing Arts Company was founded in 2004 as a community-focused, socially-conscious, Equity theater company. Since their inception, they made a commitment to represent diverse voices on stage, pay local San Diego actors Equity wages, health and pension, and focus on serving their community. In 2006 they started realizing that our socially-conscious operations conflicted with the reality that theater, as it is traditionally practiced, can be damaging to the environment. From the woods, paints, dyes and energy used to the seasonal nature of theater, our industry is consistently creating toxic waste at a high rate with each production. In recognition of this problem, and as a natural extension of our socially-conscious principles, Mo`olelo developed a greening initiative in January 2007.
Through consultations with LEED-Accredited Professional Preeti Gupta (LEED – Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design – is the U.S. Green Building Council's standards designation), the first step was to develop the GREEN Theater Categories and Sustainable Guidelines. In Fall 2008, Mo`olelo received a MetLife/TCG A-ha! Think it, Do it grant to research and develop a tool to measure the environmental impact of theater and help the industry make choices that do not cause long-term damage to our communities. We partnered with Brown & Wilmanns Environmental, LLC and adapted their "Green Choices" methodology to theater.
Green Theater Choices Toolkit (2009)
The toolkit provide a guide, with concrete tools and best practices for guiding your organization to a "new normal" that prioritizes the intertwined needs for greater environmental, human, and financial sustainability in our industry. Our focus here is on sustainability tools, especially for design and production, but we recognize the need for a broader conversation and invite the creativity and wisdom of our colleagues across the country in re-imagining a more sustainable and equitable American Theatre.
