Green Umbrella’s Faith Communities Go Green team invites you to learn more about the Cincinnati Recycling & Reuse Hub, a permanent one-stop drop off location for reusable and hard-to-recycle items. Since it opened in April, the Hub has been able to divert over 65 tons of materials from the landfill for reuse or recycling.

Join us on Tuesday, December 7 for a presentation by managing director Colleen McSwiggin to learn what can and can’t be taken to the Hub, what to expect when you visit to drop off or take away items, and ways you can help both now and with future expansions.

Join Green Umbrella, the Ohio Environmental Council, and democracy advocates across Ohio in the fight for Fair Maps in 2021. Every community map and individual story matters in the fight for equal districts.

The OEC Democracy Team will run an interactive workshop,
Tuesday, July 20th, starting promptly at 6:00pm.
We’ll be exploring community mapmaking, showcasing how you can describe your geographic space in support of Ohio’s redistricting process. Attendees will use an online tool, DistrictR, to define their community boundaries, institutions, assets, and issues. Community maps inform the district creation process and help Mapmakers identify equable locations for boundaries based on geographic and community interests, rather than partisan interests.

In-person registration will be capped at 40 people at Green Umbrella’s Offices, 5030 Oaklawn Drive, Cincinnati.

You are also able to join virtually via ZOOM
