Why SLC needs Bioneers

A letter from the Bioneers Salt Lake City Planning Committee

Looking up into the brown smog in the sky, what do you say to yourself? Some of you might have already given up on making a difference, the difference that would clear our sky again. But what can we really do? There’s only one thing that can help us: nature.

One of the first things our parents taught us is cleaning up after ourselves. Bioneers are biological pioneers who work with nature to heal nature and ourselves. In most cases, we are healing the mess we created in nature.

Salt Lake City needs Bioneers because Bioneers care. Salt Lake City needs people who will heal and sustain nature in ways that are not harmful. Bioneers are not people who cover up mistakes and pretend everyone will forget.

We don’t try to fix every problem—we prevent it from happening in the beginning.

Join us at the local session “Bicycling as a Form of Transit: Salt Lake City and Beyond” to discuss how bicy-cling is a vital means of sustainable transportation.

Also, come learn about the plan to generate all of Utah’s electricity from renewable sources by 2050 and how Utah’s rural and fossil-fuel based communities will transition to a clean-energy economy. Find all this at the local session “What Happens When the Sun Isn’t Shining and the Wind Isn’t Blowing?”

Bioneers embodies a change of heart: uniting nature, culture and spirit. Bioneers is a spiritual connection with the living world that is grounded in social justice.

Bioneers is a culture of solution. We make a difference either by preventing, sustaining or inspiring. Salt Lake City needs this culture.

Twenty one years after the first Bioneers conference, we are still changing fear to hope. We’re still transforming the wounds of separation, exploitation and violence into a culture of cooperation, solutions and healing.

Enjoy your Bioneers conference!

Charles Bowden’s and Molly Molloy’s session had a great turn out! The Vieve Gore Concert Hall was a full house on Friday, November 5th 2010.

More than 280 people attended the live lecture series presented by Charles Bowden and Molly Molloy. They shared their insights on studying on the social and economic breakdown of Juarez, Mexico.

Live Keynote Focus:Thinking the Future While the Present is Murdered Before Your Eyes

The 15 year-long study focused on the violence that happened in the daily life of citizens in Juarez, Mexico. Molloy explained that the people and the family targeted have been stereotyped as gang members and crimi-nals by their country and their president. The study shows that over 15 years the violence has not stoped and it’s becoming worse.

During the lecture, Molloy showed many images of violence that all happened in the middle of the city—some as recent as the day or the week before.

Also highlighted on pbs.org, victims of violence are oftentimes young and innocent teenagers. One shooting happened at a 15-year-old boy’s birthday party; 3 teenagers died and 20 others were injured.

Molloy addressed the issue that no one is keeping track of the people who are victims of the killing. The gov-ernment doesn’t care because they have already stereotyped them as criminals.

In Juarez, where the unemployment rate is only 20% and half a million people have an access to only one high school, Bowden wrote in his book, “There are no jobs, the young face blank futures, the poor are crushed by sinking fortunes … killing is not deviance, it is a logical career decision for thousands floundering in a failing economy and a failing state.”

At this time there’s not much we can do to help the people of Juarez, Mexico. We can’t balme the death of citi-zens, but we can encourage the officers who’re working to keep the city safer by catching one crimal at a time.

HEAL Utah: What Happens When the Sun Isn’t Shining and The Wind Isn’t Blowing session received a big media attention after the Bioneers conference. In the session, Christopher Thomas, HEAL Utah policy director explained the approach to generate all of Utah’s energy from renewable sources.

Compressed air storage grabed the attention of many attendees. In city like Salt Lake City, the sun doesn’t always shine and the wind doesn’t always blow.

Compressed air storage works when excess electricity is generated. It will pump compressed air into underground caverns. The air will be released heated, and used to drive generators when electricity is needed. The plan is to generate all of Utah’s electricity using renewable sources by the year 2050. The HEAL Utah plan is three years in the making. One year of the study was focused on studying sun and wind availability.

The Salt Lake Tribune article by Stephen Hunt highlighted on Chris-topher Thomas’s visionary plan and study on the project. Hunt ad-dresses a draft report from Gov. Gary Herbert’s energy task force. Stated in the report, Herbert does not plan to create any new coal-fueled power plants in the next ten years.

In the end, Hunt also acknowledged Thomas as someone who has been working to keep uranium out of Utah in the last four years.

The completed study, three years in the making, will be presented at 6:30 p.m. on Dec. 14 at the Jewish Community Center, 2 N. Medical Drive, Salt Lake City.

Upcoming events

On Saturday, November 6th Bioneers held its last 2010 conference local sessions. From RDT’s Green Map® Project to Grow, Gather, Eat: Sustaining the Harvest, conference attendees enjoyed their lo-cal session of interest. One room in the Charles H. Dick building seemed to be more packed than the others.

Jonathon Krausert’s Natural Fermentation: Finding the Spirit in your Garden, caught the interest of many attendees by his attention-grab-bing apple presser placed in the front and center of the class room. Besides the presser, bottles of preserved vegetables all in different colors and shapes created curiosity and a big appetite.

Krausert started out from preservation basics: how to make sauer-kraut and apple cider. In the sessions attendees volunteer to cut up apples and turn the wheel of the presser.

On the other table volunteers cut up cabbages. Then, they measured for the right amount of salt, mixed it in and tamped it down in the crock. The last step is to cover the sauerkraut with a light cloth and place a weight on top of the packed sauerkraut. Krausert recom-mends putting the weight inside a zip-lock bag if it’s something that can rust over time.

After they finished making the sauerkraut, the apple cider was ready. Before leaving everyone got to enjoy the freshly made cider and other preserved vegetables, even a preserved egg.

Student Profile

Torres and her sister decided to apply for the conference scholarship because they were interested in environmental sustainability and social justice. “I didn’t know much about [the environment] before, I just wanted to learn more about it,” said Torres.

Environmental sustainability was not the first priority for Torres—an international business entrepreneur. She didn’t think that joining Bioneers would relate to her career and her living.

At the Bioneers conference Torres attended her first lo-cal session, Subversive Design: Interrupting the consumer paradigm. In this session Torres learned how products are designed to fulfill our desires and experience how to create product from undesirable waste.

“I think this session was very fun, creative, new and innova-tive. It was interesting to see ways to help the environment in strange little ways that I would not think of,” said Torres.

In the second local session, Eco-Logical Eating, Torres joins Nina and Michael Vought in a discussion on how people make choices on their food. This session focused on how people can support their community by consuming local produce. Torres describe this session as something in our lives that we don’t think about.

Like many conference attendees, Torres participated in her last local session, Natural Fermentation: Finding the Spirit in Your Garden. “People don’t buy or eat organically because it’s expensive. The most expensive groceries I see in the store are the organics one,” said Torres. After Torres learn how to make sauerkraut, press apple cider and tasted pre-served vegetable it inspired her to have her own garden.

Torres’ last thought on the conference is everyone who has a chance to attend should. “Before attending the conference I didn’t think that I will be this inspired,” said Torres.

Torres suggests Bioneers for students with any passion. If they don’t wan to attend the conference they can also volunteer in the community.

“The Bioneers conference changed me. Now [the environment] is on the top of my list, I know this will have the same affect on others as well,” said Torres.

Giovanna Torres is one of the recipients of the Bioneers scholarship award for the Salt Lake City 2010 conference. Torres is from Mexico City, Mexico and is currently a sophomore majoring in international business.

“This is one of the most interesting sessions,” said Torres. “Something as ordinary as eating

has an impact on the environment.”

“Now I feel responsible for being careful because something I do can

impact the environment.”

What is the Day of Silence?The Day of Silence is a student-led national event that brings attention to anti-LGBT name-calling, bullying and harassment in schools. Students from middle school to college take some form of a vow of silence in an effort to encourage schools and class-mates to address the problem of anti-LGBTQ behavior. The event is designed to il-lustrate the silencing effect of this bullying and harassment on LGBTQ students and

those perceived to be LGBTQ. (www.dayofsilence.org)

Do I need to be silent ALL day?No, you can decide to be silent for a specific amount of time or much of the day. The time frame for silence is completely up to you. The point is to be silent for some part of the day to reveal the silencing effect of bullying and harassment of those who are and are perceived to be LGBTQ.

What is the Breaking the Silence Event?Our Breaking the Silence Event will be a film and discussion on the evening of April 16.

For more information and to sign The Day of Silence Pledge, come to Shaw Center from 11-12on April 12, 13, 14, or 15!
