The 3rd ILCAN Conference Series on Life Cycle Assessment
"Life Cycle Assessment as a Metric to Achieve Sustainable Development Goals"
About ICSoLCA 2018
The Sustainable Development Goals are a global action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all. This framework establishing 17 universal goals, 169 targets and 230 indicators, including new areas such as climate change, economic inequality, innovation, also sustainable consumption. The Sustainable Development Goals implicitly require life cycle thinking as a step to prioritize action by determining the key drivers of social and environmental problems, and to ensure that no unintended trade-offs occur. In order to reach that goal and make the right choices, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is developed as a metric to measure the potential environmental impact and help identify the most efficient technologies, strategies or scenarios to address emission hotspots and managing potential trade-offs.
The International Conference Series on Life Cycle Assessment is the leading forum bringing together academia, graduate scholars, practitioners working in industry, government and public institutions in the domain of life cycle assessment, sustainability and circular economy. This event, hosted by School of Environmental Science Universitas Indonesia and the Indonesian Life Cycle Assessment Network (ILCAN), will take place on 24-25 October 2018 at Perpustakaan Nasional Republik Indonesia, Jalan Medan Merdeka Selatan, Jakarta.

Low Carbon Development within SDG's Framework in Indonesia
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 13 on combating climate together with Paris Agreement of IPCC are global efforts to reduce emission in the world. In the Paris Agreement, the pathways limiting global warming to 1.50C with no or limited overshoot would require rapid and far reaching transitions in energy, land, urban, infrastructure and industrial systems (IPCC, 2018). To push this commitment further, UN Sustainable Development Solution Network Indonesia (SDSN Indonesia), has joined global efforts by developing programs namely DDPP (Deep Decarbonization Pathways Program) and FABLE (Food, Agriculture, Biodiversity, Land-use, Energy). DDPP Indonesia has developed the pathways in 2014 together with 13 countries while FABLE has just developed in 2017 forming the organization plus starting early network and research activities. Our researches are varied included developing low carbon efforts in industries such as pulp and paper, oil palm and coffee plantations using LCA and many other methods.

Adoption of LCA in Industrial's Environmental Performance Rating (PROPER)
PROPER as Ministry of Environment and Forestry (MOEF) Program. The program's objective is to act as a regulatory mechanism which can promote and enforce compliance with pollution control standards, encourage pollution reduction, introduce the concept of "clean technology," and promote an environmental management system and conduct the business ethically through the implementation of community development. A color-coded rating scheme was developed under PROPER to grade companies performance against the regulatory standards. The color coding system is based on five colors—gold, green, blue, red, and black.
PROPER assessment criteria consist of two categories, namely compliance assessment criteria and beyond compliance assessment criteria. Compliance assessment criteria is based on Environmental regulations such as EIA regulation, water pollution regulation, air pollution regulation, hazardous waste regulation, sea pollution control regulation and land degradation criteria (for mining industries). Assessment for beyond compliance criteria is based on the performance of corporate environmental management in the implementation of environmental management systems, energy efficiency, emissions reduction, 3 R toxic waste and solid waste, water conservation and the reduction of pollution load, biodiversity protection, and the implementation of community empowerment.
The Ministry of Environment and Forestry (MOEF) will be revision Regulation of the Minister of Environment Number 3 year 2014 concerning Industrial's Environmental Performance Rating (PROPER). One of the assessment criteria developed by MOEF for beyond compliance criteria is the application of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). The aims of life cycle assessment (LCA) are to identify, calculate the sustainability of the use of natural resources, disposal in the environment, and evaluate and implement the possibility of environmental improvement. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is based on SNI ISO 14040: 2016 Environmental management – Life cycle assessment – Principles and framework, and SNI ISO 14044: 2017 on Environmental Management – Life Cycle Assessment – Requirements and Guidelines.
Some aspect of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) in PROPER is (1) planning according to goal and scope (2) Implementation of LCA (3) Reporting on LCA implementation; (4) Human resource has competence and certification (4) provide recommendations with continuous improvement work plan and program.
In addition, this year to support the implementation of SDGs in accordance with Presidential Regulation of The Republic of Indonesia Number 59 year 2017 concerning the Implementation of Achievement of Sustainable Development Goals, the assessment beyond compliance criteria PROPER asses the industry's contribution in program implementation related to SDG's indicators.

SDGs Indonesia: Achievement and Challenges
In achieving sustainable development, we need to ensure positive economic growth that is socially responsible and environmentally friendly. In the global level, all 193 members of the UN have committed to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. This ambitious agenda has 17 goals and 169 targets, and ensure that no one is left behind.
In Indonesia, the 2030 Agenda is mainstreamed in the 2015-2019 National Medium-Term Develop Plan (Rencana Pembangunan Jangka Menengah Nasional/RPJMN) to ensure that by implementing the national agenda, we are also implementing the 2030 Agenda. As a reflection of Indonesia's commitment to implementing the 2030 Agenda, the President of the Republic of Indonesia has signed the Presidential Regulation No. 59 Year 2017 regarding the Implementation of the Achievement of SDGs. The Ministry of National Development Planning/ National Development Planning Agency also has issued a Ministerial Regulation and Ministerial Instruction to ensure the participation of all stakeholders, especially the non-state actors, to be actively involved in the implementation of SDGs in Indonesia, thus leaving no one behind.
In implementing such ambitious agenda, and being the 4thmost populous country with an archipelagic geography, we have many challenges ahead. We need to develop strategies that are tailor-made to answer the different needs in the sub-national and community level, without forgoing the national priorities.

Life Cycle Assessment Research and Application in Indonesia
This paper presents a review of the research and application of life cycle assessment (LCA) in Indonesia over the last 20 years and analyzes challenges and opportunities for future development. The study assessed 107 peer-reviewed scientific publications on LCA about Indonesia or written by authors affiliated with institutions in Indonesia. Relevant programs and recommendations to advance LCA adoption were elaborated. The first paper on the subject of LCA appeared as early as in 1996, while the number of publication significantly increased since 2010. The majority of these articles came from universities, research institutions, and international organizations. Drivers were mainly related to product competitiveness aiming to fulfill sustainability requirements of the global commodities market. Government policies also played an essential role in many aspects, including a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, sustainable consumption and production, green public procurement, eco-labeling, and green industry. Simultaneously, life cycle thinking has been embraced by governments and industries, especially with an immediate increase in the number of organizations implementing the recent version of ISO 14001. Increased participation in voluntary sustainability reporting also provides evidence of the prevalence of the sustainability concept. We believe that this development can serve as an essential step toward the spread of LCA studies in the future. Furthermore, the recent adoption of ISO 14040/44 as national standards in 2016/2017 also marked the commitment of Indonesian governments in LCA and is expected to stimulate the adoption of LCA based environmental labels, such as carbon footprint, environmental product declaration, and product environmental footprint. The research and application of LCA in Indonesia are still in its infancy, as partly proved by a relatively small number of publications as compared to some other Southeast Asian countries. However, there was a notable increase in publication over the last 5 years, indicating a growing interest in LCA, mainly from academics and to less extent from private sectors. Although LCA has not been explicitly formulated in the national strategies and legislation, Indonesian governments do require life cycle thinking to inform policy-making. Nevertheless, the lack of incentives for green products, LCA programs, LCA expertise, and localized inventory data hampers its implementation. In the future, improvement should focus on LCA capacity building, the establishment of a forum to communicate LCA studies and resources, development of national life cycle inventory databases, and provision of market incentives for green products.

LCA and LCSA: how can they contribute to the global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)?
About three years ago, the UN General Assembly adopted the so-called Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which exist of 17 goals and 169 targets. Last year, a set of 232 indicators was agreed upon. The SDGs, targets and indicators are a milestone in human history, provide an ambitious and comprehensive agenda for the future and, if implemented, might result in a fundamentally more sustainable world. Looking with a life cycle assessment (LCA eye to the long list of indicators) the question raises: where and how can LCA, LCSA or LCT contribute to the SDGs? For that we first need to define what LCA and LCSA are and what they are about.
Life cycle assessment of product systems, studying environmental impacts of e.g. consumer products, has a history that dates back to the 1960s and 1970s. It was recognized at that point that for many products, a large share of the environmental impacts is not just in the use of the product, but might be originating from its production, transportation or disposal. It was also acknowledged that improving a product system may have trade offs in several areas, by either shifting problems to other processes, phases of the product's life cycle, to other countries, substances, impacts, or just to the future. Gradually, the importance of addressing the whole life cycle of a product and all related environmental impacts became an issue in the 1980s and 1990s. Out of this emerged the idea of life cycle assessment (LCA) and since then LCA has developed fast. Today, it has become part of several policy regulations world-wide.
About ten years ago, LCA was broadened and deepened to a more comprehensive Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment (LCSA). Definitions of LCSA are not yet carved in a stone, but the most widely adopted definition is: LCSA = LCA + LCC (Life Cycle Costing) + SLCA (Social LCA). This definition is basically about broadening the impact considered from environmental impact to also include economic and social impacts adopting the full sustainability definition. Another definition of LCSA added two other dimensions to this broadening of impacts dimension: broadening the level of analysis (from product analyses to sector- and economy-wide analyses), and deepening the analysis to include other than just technological relations.
LCA and LCSA can particularly be of help for the SDGs in mapping and checking of trade-offs between goals, targets or indicators, and in bringing evidence-based analyses to reaching the goals. As most SDG indicators are defined on a macro level (global- or country-level), particularly LCSA may be suitable for this. In this presentation, the history and method(s) of LCA and LCSA will be introduced.
Next, it will be explored how LCA and LCSA can support SDGs, illustrated by selected examples. Finally, some LCA/LCSA limitations and challenges for Indonesia (and South-East Asia in general) will be discussed.

Promoting sustainability in emerging economies via life cycle thinking
Growing population along with economic growth has led to increasing consumptive lifestyles in emerging economies. Many of these economies are also large producers of agricultural products and materials relying on heavy industries for domestic consumption as well as export. The compromise of this increased consumption and consumption with the environment, human health and natural resources is evidenced by land degradation,biodiversity and habitat losses, increased health risks and resource scarcity. Though developed countries have also gone through this phase in the past during the initial phase of development, emerging economies can avoid repeating the same cycle. To this end, tools are needed for policy decision makers and producers for strategic planning. Tools based on life cycle thinking have been successfully implemented in many of the developed countries and are also being increasingly used in many emerging economies. Using the case of Thailand, experiences will be shared on how life cycle-based tools could be implemented for supporting policy making, industrial application, and product competitiveness. Various applications of tools including product carbon footprinting, water footprinting, life cycle sustainability assessment, green gross domestic product (GDP), green purchasing will be illustrated.Examples will be presented showcasing howall these have successfully been used by policy makers to encourage sustainable consumption and production, and by industries to increase competitiveness and strategic planning.

Get ready for EPDs, Labeling and Other Reporting
Companies and governments are faced with an increased demand for transparency, reliability and understandability around green claims. At the moment 90% of all claims cannot be substantiated. Many initiatives have been started to make reporting and communicating on environmental impacts more fact based. In this key note Eric will address the key success factors of robust and sound product footprinting: 1) guidance, 2) capacity building, 3) focus on application and 4) ease of use. Learnings from successful initiatives around the world will be shared, so the audience can turn them into action.
Eric Mieras is managing director of PRé Sustainability, the developer of the world-leading SimaPro LCA Software. He makes sure the PRé team stays aware of the strategic challenges its clients face. He believes that a lot of sustainability approaches and targets- like SDGs, science-based targets, circular economy, to name a few – can benefit from the profound and sound expertise that Life Cycle Thinking can bring to make sustainability related decisions more fact-based. At the same time, methods and tools that provide sustainability metrics can make the initiatives more actionable and measurable. He is actively involved in a number of ground breaking projects, like the Environmental Footprint pilot from the European Commission and sector based tools, like the BRE EPD tool and the Diary Farmers Footprinting tool. These developments scale up the use of sustainability metrics dramatically.

The Ten Golden Rules for the Application of Life Cycle Information
We have seen rivers burning, marine litter growing, climate change impacts increasing, limited resources to name a few. Often our resources are directed towards actions which we create unexpected impacts elsewhere, because we have not considered the full range of impacts along a product life cycle. Life cycle assessment has increasing become a tool of choice to understand the environmental and social trade-offs associated with product and packaging systems.
What have we learned that can accelerate the generation and use of life cycle information to inform decision making? As we are approaching nearly 30 years of experiences, there is much still to do to develop the capacity and capabilities to generate and use life cycle information to ensure we are working on the right issue, at the right place in the value chain, and by the right groups. We see a future where products will be designed, manufactured, used and managed at the end of life in ways to create reduced environmental and social impacts than the previous generation. These innovative products will create business value, e.g., growing revenue, enhancing brand, reducing costs, and mitigating risk). All actors over a product's life cycle have a role. New business models will surfaced. These outcomes are happening now, but not at the scale needed. Based upon nearly 30 years of experiences, we have identified Ten Golden Rules for applying life cycle information. These will be described with examples and guidance on how they can be applied within your own organization.
Dr Jim Fava is Chief Strategist at Anthesis Group. With over 25 years of experiences in the sustainability space, he helps the world's businesses scale sustainability.

Social Life cycle assessment: state of the art and current initiatives
Several interest has been raised on the social impact assessment of a product life cycle in the last decades. It is even more important if we consider the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in which 5 goals out of 17 are related to the social impacts. Particular importance has the 12th SDG on Responsible Consumption and Production that highlights the necessity to work in parallel on more sustainable manufacturing and consumption. Life cycle assessment has been considered as the best tool to support decision-making process toward a more sustainable production, it is standardized but it assesses only the environmental dimension of sustainability: with it is not possible to measure the trade-off among the three dimensions of sustainability and if the improvement of the environmental performance of a product causes a decrease of the social one. That is one of the reason that leads the development of the social life cycle assessment (S-LCA) as a complementary approach to the LCA in assessing the positive and negative impacts of a product life cycle. An overview of the main scientific references and current initiatives on S-LCA will be given in the presentation to present current state of the art and further developments.

Using Life Cycle knowledge to deliver business value
As LCA practitioners, we would all like to see LCA gaining more popularity as a holistic, scientifically backed tool for decision-makers concerned with understanding and balancing different kinds of environmental and socio-economic impacts of business decisions. Such decisions rely not only on events or facts, but also on how those events and facts are interpreted. Therefore, for LCA studies to move to a mainstream analytical tool supporting policy and business decisions, study results must also come across as decision-support principles understood by non-experts.
The keynote will explain how LCA studies might be analyzed and interpreted to derive principles relevant from a business leader's perspective. It will also explore supplementing of LCA study results with an understanding of Life Cycle approaches and Life Cycle knowledge to deliver business value.

LCA in Japan – Progresses and Challenges in the past quarter century
LCA in Japan has received attention since the beginning of 1990s in accordance with ISO standardization. There have been great progresses in scientific achievements and implementations of LCA in the past quarter century. For example, the LCA database authorized by industrial associations has been built and managed by Japan LCA forum. The Life Cycle Impact assessment Method based on Endpoint modeling (LIME) has been developed by LCA researchers. LCA has been widespread in Japanese industries, the results of which were used for designing their products and communication with their customers. The speaker had been involved in the development of LCI for electricity grid mix in Japan, then collaborated to develop LCI with Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, etc.
One of the recent hottest topics in LCA in Japan is the application of LCA to Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design, LEED, which drastically enhanced LCA in Japan as well as other countries as the tool for EPD.
The speaker will focus on some of these topics in the keynote speech.
Since 1996, he has been in involved in researches on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). He has conducted many LCA case studies for materials, energy systems, automobiles, recycling systems.

The keys to reduce environmental impacts of palm oil
Oil palm is largely criticisedfor its impact on the environment. According to Life Cycle Assessment studies, the agricultural stage proved to be a major contributor to most of the potential environmental impacts, notably global warming, eutrophication and acidification. Focusing on global warming impact, main contributors are land use change and peat cultivation, N-related GHG emissions from fertilisers and residues in the plantation and methane emissions from palm oil mill effluent (POME) treatment. Impact from POME can be drastically reduced if POME is used for composting or if the biogas from anaerobic treatment is captured with electricity recovery. However, the impact from the plantation establishment becomes overwhelming when forests or peatland areas are converted to palm plantations. Oil palm plantations have significantly driven deforestation in Indonesia, together with logging and mining. It remains the most important agricultural driver despite the governmental moratorium and the certification schemes in place since 2011 and 2007; respectively. In order to protect primary forests and peatlands, which is absolutely mandatory to avoid irreversible carbon and biodiversity losses, it is paramount to define a sustainable land planning at national and landscape levels, as well as to implement agroecological practices in the plantations in order to sustainably increase yields and limit further land clearing.
Dr. Bessou works towards combining agronomic and environmental assessments to provide knowledge and tools to design new agroecological and sustainable production systems.
Her key research topics encompass developing knowledge on greenhouse gas (GHG) emission modelling, soil quality and LCA in order to model better perennial cropping systems and their impacts on soil quality.
She has been working at Cirad for 9 years. Cirad is the French Research Center dedicated to Agriculture for development in the tropics. She has gained experience in more than 10 countries including Indonesia, Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast, Brazil, etc. In the recent years, she has been more specifically working on palm oil. She has been notably involved in the development the RSPO greenhouse gas calculator, PalmGHG, and is the assistant Cirad focal point on palm oil supply chain.
Dr. Bessou is the Vice Chair of the SETAC Europe LCA Steering Committee and the UNEP SETAC LCI Ecosystem services taskforce.

Creating Business Value from Operating Sustainability
By James Fava, FSLCI & Anthesis & Philip Strothmann, FSLCI
25 October 2018, 1 – 3 pm
Room: Auditorium, 2nd floor of National Library of The Republic of Indonesia
It is undeniable that sustainability is good for business. More and more companies are realizing business value by integrating sustainability through practical changes in their organization – e.g., integrating sustainability criteria into their innovation process, into their supply chain, and into how they aim to add value to their customers. It's been an exciting journey, and one that continues! But there is still much more that needs to be done. This workshop will highlight lessons learned that surfaced when companies are asking questions like – what should my company's strategy be related to sustainability, why is it important, and how do I realize value from it?
One of the key golden rules for Sustainability is the business value framework (https://blog.anthesisgroup.com/golden-rules-sustainable-business) which outlines directions to grow revenue, engage brand, reduce costs, and mitigate risks. Speaking in a language that resonates with your audience is always key and is no different in the context of business. We should not underestimate the value that sustainability, when done well, can generate to a business. The tangible value realized spans everything, from Walmart saving nearly $1B from fleet efficiency improvements to Johnson and Johnson's Earthwards products which represent more than $8B in revenue generation for the company. In both cases, the organizations embraced the power of business to drive positive, mutually beneficial (i.e. business and sustainability) results with clear benefit.
The workshop will utilize the business value framework and work through examples with a focus on the use of life cycle information, and how eco-labeling programs as required in Indonesia and Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) can be used to create business value. Each workshop attendee will leave with at least one action they can take when they go back to the office.
Marine Litter – A global problem being addressed locally: What can you do? By James Fava, FSLCI & Anthesis and Philip Strothmann, FSLCI 23 October 2018, 9 am- 12 pm Room: Auditorium, 2nd floor of National Library of The Republic of Indonesia
Marine Litter is rapidly becoming one of the most visible and high profile global issues. In response, governments and companies are making plastics pledges, re-designing products, working with waste management companies at end of life, and are looking into banning certain plastics (e.g. European Commission proposal to ban certain plastic products). However, not all alternatives might have a better sustainability performance! Understanding tradeoffs of alternative solutions is thus key to making the right decision. For example, it is often assumed that bio-based plastics are preferable to fossil fuel-based plastics. However, unless they are also bio-degradable at the end of life, they still represent a significant sustainability challenge. Considering all life cycle stages and multiple impacts thus remains crucial!
The purpose of this workshop is to engage with the local experts and stakeholder communities to better understand local challenges and develop capacity around life cycle-based solutions to Marine Litter; and promote the use of life cycle information in decision-making to eliminate or minimize any unintended consequences when addressing Marine Litter.
The workshop is organized and facilitated by FSLCI in cooperation with ILCAN. In June 2017 FSLCI published the Medellin Declaration which called for the need to assess marine ecological impacts in life cycle assessment in a meaningful way ( https://fslci.org/medellindeclaration/). In May 2018 FSLCI held a very successful workshop on marine litter. One of the outcomes of the workshop was a call from more interactions between the Marine Litter experts and the life cycle community to ensure that life cycle information is used in the marine litter solution conversations to ensure that there are no unintended consequences of any decision. This workshop at ICSOLCA 2018 is part of that multiple year campaign to accelerate use of life cycle information to help solve our marine litter problem.
Please be prepared to share your insights, concerns, and ideas on possible solutions to address solving marine litter; and at the same time do not create unintended consequences. Each workshop attendee will leave with at least one action they can take when they go back to the office.

Can 'SLO life' survive when tech comes to town?

On Feb. 21, days after Amazon backed out of its plan to stage a second headquarters in New York City, the mayor of San Luis Obispo issued a statement lambasting the online retailer for "destroying our downtowns and having a negative impact on our communities." Not only was Amazon hurting local retailers, Mayor Heidi Harmon wrote, but its presence also weakened the "social glue that holds us together."
It wasn't the first time SLO's civic leader had taken aim at the web giant, which has been blamed for undermining brick-and-mortars around the country for years. A couple of weeks earlier, Harmon had tweeted a photo showing her cutting her Amazon Prime card in half with scissors. In protest, she pledged to quit patronizing the platform and invited civic leaders across the U.S. to do the same.
"Mayors really shouldn't be personally utilizing Amazon, in my opinion," she wrote. "I mean, really, neither should anybody."
The web behemoth opened an office in SLO's downtown in 2006, expanded to another downtown office in 2017 and employs more than 130 people in the quiet Central Coast community.

10 things to do in San Luis Obispo County
By Deb Wandell
Insider: Ultimate guide to going local in San Luis Obispo
Rather than galvanize a base of Big Tech skeptics, Harmon's comments were widely condemned as naive and out of touch. SLO County Supervisor Lynn Compton dismissed the mayor's effort, saying "Internet commerce is here to stay." The San Luis Obispo Tribune's editorial board agreed: "Trying to turn back the clock to the pre-internet era, when we did all our shopping in our hometowns, is fruitless," it wrote. Three neighboring mayors rejected Harmon's invitation; online commenters called for her recall.
Within a week, Harmon deleted her anti-Amazon tweets, and penned an opinion piece, walking back her criticism. She apologized to "our neighbors who work at Amazon" and noted that "many of our local manufacturers are selling their products online."
The conflict in SLO underscores the quandary familiar to anyone who has lived in the Bay Area during the Web 2.0 era of tech expansion: how to grow economically without sacrificing the identity of a place that made it attractive in the first place.
San Luis Obispo has long had a reputation as a laid-back college town, a haven for surfers and retirees, and a low-key tourist destination. Set among rolling hills and sandy beaches, the region is defined by its natural beauty, local agriculture and little traffic. Locals often laud the "SLO life."
In recent years, the city's charm — as well as a supply of talented engineering students from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo — has begun to attract tech companies scouting desirable destinations for their ever-expanding ranks of employees. Over the past five years, San Luis Obispo tech employment has increased 50% — from 6,572 workers in 2013 to 9,852 in 2018, according to a 2019 study from the County Workforce Development Board. That's about 8% of the county's workforce of 122,800.
It's not just Amazon setting up shop.
GE Digital opened a software engineering office in the Cal Poly Technology Park last year. In 2010, Boeing swooped into SLO to buy local logistics software company CDM. Cal Poly's Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship launched a startup incubator in 2012 called SLO Hothouse. It provides a shared work space downtown, training and access to funding. Since then the Hothouse has produced 80 companies garnering $150 million of investments.

Software company Mindbody, founded in 2001, opened a 170,000-square-foot campus less than 3 miles from downtown in 2015 and employs more than 900 people. Setting up in SLO "actually shifted from being an odd choice in the mid-2000s to being a brilliant choice in the eyes of our venture investors," says Mindbody CEO Rick Stollmeyer. Not only did the company have access to top engineering talent, but also SLO is generally unencumbered by the difficulties of retaining workers among highly competitive tech companies in Silicon Valley.
Amazon's local entry came in 2006 with its purchase of CustomFlix, a Cal Poly student startup facilitating on-demand DVD distribution. Amazon continued hiring in the area due to "the big engineering pool of talent" in San Luis Obispo, according to an Amazon spokeswoman. In an email statement, Amazon responded to Mayor Harmon's comments by citing its direct contribution to the local economy via employee salaries and office investments, tabulated at $33 million.
The shift doesn't appear to be slowing down, says Sidney Collin, who graduated from Cal Poly in 2019 with a degree in biomedical engineering. Her local startup, De Oro Devices, is getting ready to release a device that provides audio and visual prompts to help Parkinson's patients overcome immobility issues.
The emergence of tech correlates to a higher number of Cal Poly graduates landing jobs in the area: In 2013, fewer than 14% of grads found employment locally; in 2018 the portion rose to almost 19%, according to the survey data from Cal Poly Career Services.
There is "definitely a movement of people wanting to stay local," Collin says.
The impact of tech firms expanding in San Luis Obispo has created an economic boom but also presented challenges for the local community.
The downtown that Mayor Harmon claimed Amazon was going to destroy appears to be thriving.
"The biggest story for us is the influx of tech and startups," says Therese Cron, regional leasing director of the SLO Collection, the city's largest retail real estate developer. The company leases 28 downtown shops, including national brands like Apple and Lululemon that are popular with young professionals.
The "vitality of downtown" is the reason Piazza Hospitality is building the 78-room Hotel San Luis Obispo in the city center, says Piazza President Circe Sher.

median home price in San Luis Obispo County in 2018. It was $549,000 in 2015.
The local airport recently completed a $40 million terminal project to accommodate the growing business community. Amazon's support was a factor in convincing Alaska Airlines to begin daily flights from Seattle in 2017, says San Luis County Regional Airport Director Kevin Bumen. The "tables have completely turned" from 10 years ago, when just a few turbojet routes served tourists to the area, he says. Passenger volume has doubled in the past three years, with more than 500,000 annual travelers, 60% of those coming for business.
"As we introduce the destination to business travelers … they are more likely to stay longer or return on leisure trips," says Chuck Davison, CEO of Visit SLO CAL, the local tourism bureau.
However, the rapid job growth has put a crunch on housing availability and affordability.
The median home price in San Luis Obispo Country rose from $549,000 in 2015 to $640,000 in 2018, according to the California Association of Realtors. The county ranks as "the seventh least-affordable" housing market in the U.S., with only 14 percent of median-income families able to afford homes, according to the National Association of Home Builders. (San Francisco County is ranked as the least affordable with a median home price of $1.5 million.) SLO's "future growth prospects are severely limited due to a constrained supply in housing," says Robert Kleinhenz, executive director of research at research and consulting firm Beacon Economics.
From the left, Haley Pavone, Founder & CEO, Maddie McPhail, Marketing Coordinator, and Krista Hershfield, PR Coordinator, look at the new packaging designs at the Hot House in San Luis Obispo, Calif.
Rising costs have been a factor in driving some businesses away. In the past year, Lockheed Martin, photography equipment manufacturer Really Right Stuff and gun manufacturer Weatherby all closed local operations and relocated out of state. "We love beautiful San Luis Obispo, but our employees can't afford to buy homes," Really Right Stuff CEO Joseph Johnson told the San Luis Obispo Tribune in 2018.
Even for tech workers, the rental market can be challenging. Haley Pavone, Cal Poly class of 2019, is on target to raise $1.25 million for her "fashion-tech" startup, Pashion Footwear. But she found it hard to find an affordable apartment. "I love San Luis Obispo, but my one complaint is how expensive it is to live here," Pavone says. "Rents are extremely high, especially for new graduates."
Last month, recognizing the housing inequity, the San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors passed an ordinance estimated to generate $1 million per year for affordable homes. The rule requires new housing developers to either make 8 percent of their units affordable or pay fees to a fund that supports local affordable housing nonprofits.
The county's Economic Vitality Corporation, a partnership between government and local businesses, has been leading other affordable housing initiatives, including streamlined and reduced permitting requirements, a "tiny houses" initiative to allow habitation of smaller dwellings, and incentives for groups to provide agricultural worker housing.
"It's important for everyone to take the long view," says Mindbody CEO Stollmeyer. "We need housing, we need roads, and we need to figure out how to fund them."
"There basically aren't any desirable places to live along the coast that are cheap, from pretty much the Mexican border to the Canadian border," Stollmeyer adds.
In the midst of the upheaval, Amazon appears to be in San Luis Obispo for the long haul. The company is currently hiring for an additional 23 jobs in San Luis Obispo, primarily in software engineering, according to its corporate website.
Amazon is also expanding its partnership with Cal Poly. In 2017, the retailer and university co-launched a "Digital Transformation Hub" to research cloud-based solutions for the public sector. In 2018, Amazon donated $80,000 to the Cal Poly Scholarship fund for low-income engineering students and volunteered staff to teach programming skills to local high school students.
As the next wave of technical graduates and local tech companies grows, civic leaders in San Luis Obispo face the challenge endemic in California's tech expansion: how to balance quality of life and job creation.
"People move here and stay because it's a charming place to live," Tod Nelson, executive director of Cal Poly's CIE. "Companies like Amazon are hiring for great head-of-household jobs, but we have to make development sustainable."

How and why does the stage, and those who perform upon it, play such a significant role in the social makeup of modern Russia, Ukraine and Belarus? In New Drama in Russian, Julie Curtis brings together an international team of leading scholars and practitioners to tackle this complex question.
New Drama, which draws heavily on techniques of documentary and verbatim writing, is a key means of protest in the Russian-speaking world; since the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, theatres, dramatists, and critics have collaborated in using the genre as a lens through which to explore a wide range of topics from human rights and state oppression to sexuality and racism. Yet surprisingly little has been written on this important theatrical movement. New Drama in Russian rectifies this. Through providing analytical surveys of this outspoken transnational genre alongside case-studies of plays and interviews with playwrights, this volume sheds much-needed light on the key issues of performance, politics, and protest in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus.
Meticulously researched and elegantly argued, this book will be of immense value to scholars of Russian cultural history and post-Soviet literary studies.

Combining insightful analysis of specific texts, productions, playwrights and theatre directors with interviews with the brightest figures of the Russian stage and a sweeping survey of recent developments in drama in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus, this imaginative book is an invaluable source of information about modern Russian drama to date.
Evgeny Dobrenko, Professor of Russian Studies, University of Sheffield, UK
At once skilfully edited and intellectually ambitious, this book offers perhaps the most comprehensive picture of the international theatre movement called New Drama at a time of cultural and political crisis.
Maksim Hanukai, Assistant Professor, University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA
Bringing together young and experienced scholars, playwrights and theatre director, New Drama in Russian is a definite must-read for anyone interested in post-socialist theatre and culture in general, as well as for the readers seeking new approaches to politics and activism. This volumes clearly demonstrate how New Drama that started in Russia in the early 2000s with the introduction of verbatim plays, has revolutionized not only Russian, but also Ukrainian and Belorussian cultures, let alone theatre. Furthermore, this volume represents the New Drama as a new artistic discourse on politics – one that doesn't only reflect on political issues, but creates political spaces, dissensus and agon highly need in societies experiencing populist and authoritarian pressure.
Mark Lipovetsky, Professor of Russian, Columbia University, USA
All contributions to the volume are of interest and exceptionally well written ... Serves as worthy testimony to the authenticity and vitality of a critical moment and movement in the theatrical history of all three nations.

City of Anaheim Fleet Services
The city of Anaheim Public Works Fleet Services Division maintains and repairs 1,100 vehicles for the California city, including everything from fire engines to golf carts. Fleet Services is responsible for all rolling city equipment including police, fire and public works vehicles, as well as all of the city's standby emergency generators. It replaces $2.5 million in vehicles and equipment annually.
"Our biggest challenge is the aging workforce of our technicians," says Ron Lindsey, operations superintendent. "Our workforce is predominately older and nearing retirement age and we need to replace them with competent technicians for the future."
Many young people are avoiding careers in automotive repair creating a labor shortage. "It is not a glamorous profession," Lindsey says. "There is fairly good pay, but it can be physical work. The perception is you are a grease monkey changing oil. It is not like that these days. There is a lot more technology and critical thinking involved."
Lindsey says he seeks workers who "can think on their feet" and possess good diagnostic skills. They should be well-versed in modern technology and understand the principles of internal combustion engines. Modern mechanics are increasingly working on computerized systems, he explains.
Fleet Services operates in a 47,000-square-foot, 30-bay garage. In addition to the "routine" work of maintaining regular automobiles, it also works on highly specialized machines such as tractor-drawn aerial fire trucks.
"Fire equipment is incredibly complex," he says. "We have very complicated pieces of equipment which require a high level of intelligence and diagnostic skills to effectively work on those."
Finding qualified auto technicians is not difficult just for the city of Anaheim Fleet Services. It is an industry-wide problem. To "build the bench" with newer employees to replace retirees, Fleet Services is considering offering internships and mentoring with local trade schools and high schools.
'Full-Service Shop'
"We are pretty much a full-service shop," Lindsey says. "We do just about everything." This includes scheduled maintenance, brake jobs, suspension work, engine diagnostics for drivability problems and tires.
In the heavy shop, Fleet Services maintains fire apparatus, street sweepers, bulldozers, tractors, and other large equipment and trucks. This work is even more in-depth. "If a component fails, it can be very challenging to hunt down and fix. These pieces of equipment are very complex," Lindsey says. "Some of the newer vehicles have literally hundreds of computers, sensors and wires. It's gotten a lot more complex than it was even 15 or 20 years ago."
Fleet Services is adding some of the newest technologies to enhance its effectiveness while also implementing environmental solutions in the city with a 2012 population of 343,248. Because Southern California is known for its smog and ever-changing air quality emission regulations, Fleet Services has purchased 15 compressed natural gas (CNG) street sweepers, 30 natural gas sedans and 20 gas electric hybrids.
"Depending on the application, CNG works pretty well," Lindsey says. "The range is not as good as gas-powered vehicles but in our city setting that is not so much of an issue as it would be if we were traveling in a wider geographic area."
Though CNG-powered vehicles have been increasing in usage in the region, there are still "teething pains and reliability issues as this technology is maturing and still fairly new," he says. Fleet Services recently started an upgrade to its CNG filling station as it continues to add more CNG vehicles, aided in part by grants.
It is purchasing tablets for mechanics and upgrading its Windows-based system to a more usable web-based Fleet Management Information System. It is also adding barcode scanning in the inventory parts rooms.
A top challenge is providing the same level of service, keeping costs flat or lowering them as prices and labor costs increase. When it comes to procurement, Fleet Services conducts lifecycle cost analysis for purchasing decisions.
This considers vendor bids by analyzing warranties, resale values and fuel costs, among other factors, over the life of the vehicles. This analysis is quite different from those made by individual auto buyers who may choose a car based on its sleek appearance or maximum top speed.
Lifecycle cost analysis is not a straight low-bid process, either. "It depends on the vehicle; we are looking for the best value that meets operational needs and provides a good value for the city," Lindsey says.
