NAEC Annual Meeting

Tuesday, October 12, 7:00 to 9:00 p.m.

Unitarian Universalist Church of the North Hills
2359 West Ingomar Road, 15237

The program will feature Dr. Joel Tarr who will speak on the environmental history of Pittsburgh, and on historical oil and gas exploration in Pittsburgh.

Dr. Tarr holds a joint appointment at the H. John Heinz School of Public Policy and Management and the Departments of History and Engineering and Public Policy at Carnegie Mellon University.  Professor Tarr is a historian whose research focuses on the history of urban technologies and urban infrastructure systems, as well as the development of environmental problems and policy.  His environmental work has dealt also with air, water, and land pollution, and the cross-media problems created by technological choices and changing disposal practices.

As a service to our members, NAEC will have a battery recycling bucket at the annual meeting.  Bring your old small batteries, but NO LEAD ACID or corroded batteries. Batteries collected will go to a safe recycling operation.

NAEC history in the form of a detailed timeline will be on display at the meeting.
