Happy Earth Day Wherever You Are From the Southampton Arts Center!!!! Link to the programmes offered below.

Today, Wednesday, April 22, 2020 marks 50 years of Earth Day. The first Earth Day in 1970 sparked the passage in the U.S. of the Clean Air, Clean Water and Endangered Species Acts, and the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency. The urgency has never been greater. Our world needs a united response for bold action. Will you join this global movement as we build toward the next half century of action for our planet? THE PLAN: Today, April 22, join the Earth Day Network for 24 Hours of Action on EarthDay.org as they issue a new call to action every hour for 24 hours. Through 24 Hours of Action, Earth Day 2020 will drive actions big and small, give diverse voices a platform and demand bold action for people and the planet. From April 22nd to April 24th Earth Day Network will fill the digital landscape with global conversations, calls to action, performances, video teach-ins and more. Tune into Earth Day Live as millions of people around the world go online for a three-day mobilization to stop the climate emergency. While Earth Day may be going digital, the goal remains the same: to mobilize the world to take the most meaningful actions possible to change the world. No matter who or where you are, you can make a difference. Visit our YouTube channel for important environmental tips from members of SAC's Eco Community Group, including Drawdown East End, Citizen's Climate Lobby, Cindy Pease Roe of UpSculptand Perfect Earth Project, and more. If so much dire news is overwhelming, why not sit outside and make some promises to a favorite place? It is easy, it is free, it is highly effective.  Make a real commitment, make a real difference, feel great doing it, feel great about it.  Think of it like getting married, no cheating.  Why would you?  Copyright © *2020* *Southampton Arts Center* (SCOA, Inc.), All rights reserved.

Columbia University Announces the Year of Water as they step into Earth Day's 22 Birthday Celebration !!!!

The Year of Water at Columbia University
Restorative and ruinous, excessive and scarce, water sustains life on Earth, fueling and undermining ecosystems, biodiversity, the global economy and technological innovation.

Beginning in fall 2019, Columbia University will launch the Year of Water, an interdisciplinary investigation of water in all of its social, political, cultural, economic and environmental complexities. Led by Columbia’s School of the Arts and convened across the University’s two Manhattan campuses and its Global Centers, public programming for the Year of Water will feature art presentations and exhibitions, lectures, screenings, readings and symposia focused on our planet’s most precious resource. Participating artists include Olafur Eliasson and Daan Roosegarde, whoseWaterlicht, a site-specific, immersive, outdoor light sculpture addressing rising water levels will have its New York City premiere at Columbia’s Manhattanville campus  on October 22, 23 and 24.

Columbia is a leader in cutting-edge research in water-related areas such as climate change, storm prevention, sustainability and water rights. Throughout the year, this research will be the focus of panel discussions and conferences led by professors at schools and institutes across the University including the Earth Institute, Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, the Columbia University Irving Medical Center, the Mailman School of Public Health, the Data Science Institute, the Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation and the Columbia Engineering School.

“Water is crucial to all aspects of life – interconnecting everything from food production and agriculture to sanitation, the health of our planet and the safety of our communities,” said Mary Boyce, dean of the engineering school. “Our faculty and students work collaboratively across our school and throughout Columbia, and with industry and government to develop novel methods and systems approaches to increase access to clean water, convert wastewater and mitigate the effects of climate change, including rising sea levels and extreme weather events.”

In observance of Earth Day, we are launching the yearofwater.columbia.edu. Visit the site to learn about Columbia’s comprehensive water research, and come back in the coming months to register for events throughout the Year of Water.

Best,

Eve
