The police saying this was 22 00:02:35,37 --> 00:02:37,86 a big market and it's been 23 00:02:37,95 --> 00:02:44,80 a really.

Going to. 31 00:03:28,18 --> 00:03:33,76 Search next topic is about how the community's response to the issue of climate 32 00:03:33,77 --> 00:03:38,93 change and we have interesting timing of course which is on Sunday nights on that 33 00:03:39,08 --> 00:03:43,62 was a half million people to evacuate their homes in Indiana and 34 00:03:43,63 --> 00:03:46,03 a week before that storm and I was 35 00:03:46,04 --> 00:03:52,73 a huge winter storm is not going to live up. To twenty dollars out of the 36 00:03:52,74 --> 00:03:59,22 such an early storm and so were they they got wet and then the snow 37 00:03:59,70 --> 00:04:06,27 could survive so here and also because of what now in September 38 00:04:06,37 --> 00:04:08,12 Colorado there was 39 00:04:08,13 --> 00:04:14,62 a thousand year flood was two billion dollars profit so these that you know severe 40 00:04:14,63 --> 00:04:20,88 weather events are nearby and for away and not talk to me all of us here cannot 41 00:04:21,28 --> 00:04:27,65 begin to hear the rivers the culture and we're close to this thing. Hard these 42 00:04:27,84 --> 00:04:33,84 rumors of summer and this year because of low water flows and that's also connected 43 00:04:33,90 --> 00:04:40,76 to changes in climate on the lower the tax the. Economy as 44 00:04:40,77 --> 00:04:44,96 well as the people and their efficiency differently when they don't think that 45 00:04:44,97 --> 00:04:49,86 they're going to be able to do the activities they're expected the last run one by 46 00:04:50,04 --> 00:04:56,52 private sector jobs and the county of tourism Tom Parker Bowles to change things 47 00:04:56,53 --> 00:05:02,93 like poverty not so long realtor in the room houses that sign the seasons are short 48 00:05:02,99 --> 00:05:05,90 because of fire because of changes in D.C. 49 00:05:05,91 --> 00:05:12,72 Seasons where the leeches listen to your listeners so that this issue as 50 00:05:12,73 --> 00:05:13,11 well is 51 00:05:13,12 --> 00:05:19,99 a main issue all care about climate change or environment. Tonight I 52 00:05:20,00 --> 00:05:25,30 mean how on earth how big is caring for the road ahead of the community response to 53 00:05:25,31 --> 00:05:30,99 the long. Run to introduce Jalali and who is the army to order for the park for 54 00:05:31,00 --> 00:05:37,16 Carl action which I'm sure many of your peers cards are Polish and working hard for 55 00:05:37,17 --> 00:05:39,64 many years to protect the water resources 56 00:05:39,65 --> 00:05:46,60 a whole bunch of liars.

She wants to be 65 00:06:28,00 --> 00:06:33,77 a. Rattlesnake large group. 66 00:06:35,26 --> 00:06:41,71 Work hard work hard no longer so I'm like the old. 67 00:06:44,14 --> 00:06:49,93 Thank.

OK And then it looks like we have 73 00:07:21,77 --> 00:07:28,07 a fair number of students. OK folks from conservation organization. 74 00:07:29,64 --> 00:07:34,45 OK Social Services. OK good so 75 00:07:34,49 --> 00:07:41,14 a mic so maybe just like thirty seconds let's spout off why we're interested in 76 00:07:41,15 --> 00:07:44,22 this issue so maybe we could hear from someone from the business community why is 77 00:07:44,23 --> 00:07:47,38 climate change important to you. Going to go armed 78 00:07:47,39 --> 00:07:52,44 a call on Jihad thank you no no to be 79 00:07:53,20 --> 00:07:59,28 a little girl. Right. There 80 00:08:00,10 --> 00:08:05,34 there.

As as Jenny referenced 88 00:09:02,58 --> 00:09:04,80 a few weeks ago actually is close to a month ago now 89 00:09:05,56 --> 00:09:09,96 a select group of folks an organizing committee worked to put together 90 00:09:10,12 --> 00:09:16,07 a community climate summit for Missoula and this was an invitation event we worked 91 00:09:16,08 --> 00:09:21,09 hard to identify decision makers movers and shakers in the community who we thought 92 00:09:21,10 --> 00:09:27,69 could really contribute to across sector discussion on climate change and. The 93 00:09:27,70 --> 00:09:31,76 event was extremely successful it was on September twenty fifth we brought over one 94 00:09:31,77 --> 00:09:35,94 hundred people together I was personally just very pleased with the number of folks 95 00:09:35,95 --> 00:09:40,88 we had in attendance and blown away by the response and the willingness of folks to 96 00:09:40,89 --> 00:09:46,13 participate in this kind of conversation. Before I get to that part tonight what I 97 00:09:46,13 --> 00:09:47,45 . Wanted to do was provide 98 00:09:47,46 --> 00:09:52,64 a little bit of context in so far as why the Clarke for coalition is choosing to 99 00:09:52,65 --> 00:09:57,55 work on climate change outreach and some of the efforts that occurred leading up to 100 00:09:57,56 --> 00:10:00,42 the summit you know it didn't just happen out of nowhere there were some 101 00:10:00,43 --> 00:10:06,82 contributing factors. Also I want to be pretty informal so people have questions or 102 00:10:06,83 --> 00:10:11,35 comments or things they want to add please just shout it out raise your hand 103 00:10:11,39 --> 00:10:18,37 whatever's easiest for you that's fine. By going 104 00:10:18,38 --> 00:10:25,25 the right way. Way. OK the 105 00:10:25,26 --> 00:10:31,64 climate change. And we've referenced best already in the in the conversation but it 106 00:10:31,65 --> 00:10:35,51 stands to have tremendous impacts on our way of life here in western Montana 107 00:10:35,92 --> 00:10:40,22 impacts to agriculture natural resources local economies recreation. 108 00:10:42,69 --> 00:10:47,81 So why is the clerk for coalition so interested in this why have we been working on 109 00:10:47,82 --> 00:10:53,36 climate change outreach. We are mission at the clerk for coalition is the 110 00:10:53,37 --> 00:10:59,98 restoration and protection of the Clark Fork watershed. Which. As you can see here 111 00:10:59,99 --> 00:11:04,62 forms the headwaters the northern head waters of the Columbia River system it's 112 00:11:04,63 --> 00:11:10,77 a critical water system we are ahead water state so protection of water quality is 113 00:11:10,78 --> 00:11:14,62 really important here in western Montana it's 114 00:11:15,37 --> 00:11:20,35 a twenty two thousand square mile area with over three hundred fifty thousand miles 115 00:11:20,39 --> 00:11:26,66 of rivers so the coalition's mission is three fold. One is 116 00:11:26,67 --> 00:11:33,24 protection we work to protect the river. To identify potential threats to water 117 00:11:33,25 --> 00:11:39,07 quality water quantity clean abundant water and to work to to mitigate for those 118 00:11:39,08 --> 00:11:44,95 threats through a variety of efforts including advocacy and outreach. We also have 119 00:11:44,96 --> 00:11:49,99 a vibrant restoration program how many folks have been over to the mill town area 120 00:11:50,00 --> 00:11:56,34 recently. Pretty amazing restoration story right in the backyard of. The mill town 121 00:11:56,35 --> 00:12:01,06 dam which blocks the confluence of the Clark Fork and Blackfoot reverse for years 122 00:12:01,07 --> 00:12:06,80 has been removed and tons of contaminated sediment that had piled up behind that 123 00:12:06,81 --> 00:12:13,49 dam are now gone. Now worst we're looking ahead to the upper 124 00:12:13,50 --> 00:12:15,07 Clark Fork where there's 125 00:12:15,11 --> 00:12:20,83 a lot of restoration work still to be done and we have five folks now working 126 00:12:20,87 --> 00:12:24,60 primarily in the field on restoration efforts and I can talk more about that of 127 00:12:24,61 --> 00:12:30,14 people of questions but yes. Yes. 128 00:12:31,82 --> 00:12:37,87 Yes Yes Thank you. From the Clark Clark headwaters Does anyone know which to creeks 129 00:12:37,88 --> 00:12:43,68 form the headwaters of the Clark for. A little. Over bow. 130 00:12:44,98 --> 00:12:49,50 And Warm Springs Yeah yeah yeah so with that where those two creeks come together 131 00:12:49,51 --> 00:12:52,96 the confluence of those two creeks is the beginning of the clockwork and then the 132 00:12:52,97 --> 00:12:57,91 upper clockwork as defined intil used to be the confluence of the Blackfoot and the 133 00:12:57,92 --> 00:13:04,11 Clark Fork rivers. That area is the largest Superfund site in the country 134 00:13:04,93 --> 00:13:10,30 there has you know decades of mining pollution and damage that Superfund complex 135 00:13:10,31 --> 00:13:15,44 was broken up into three distinct areas the Milltown cleanup which has finished the 136 00:13:15,45 --> 00:13:20,51 Silverball cleanup which is also complete and now there's close to fifty river 137 00:13:20,52 --> 00:13:25,79 miles on the main stem in between that cleanup has just commenced this year so. 138 00:13:29,30 --> 00:13:35,58 I'm. Really. Low. 139 00:13:39,53 --> 00:13:46,36 So beautiful Erica the city of view. Was the richest town on earth for years and 140 00:13:46,37 --> 00:13:51,18 years provided copper munitions essentially fueled World War two To an extent right 141 00:13:51,38 --> 00:13:57,21 allied effort. Back before stringent environmental laws were in place there were 142 00:13:57,22 --> 00:14:02,77 repeated pollution problems because of mining and flood events sent 143 00:14:02,81 --> 00:14:08,96 a number of tailings downstream. Those tellings piled up behind Milltown dam and 144 00:14:08,97 --> 00:14:13,00 also were deposited in the flood plain and river banks of the Clark Fork River 145 00:14:13,04 --> 00:14:18,14 creating what are centrally dead zones they're called. Which is just it's just 146 00:14:18,15 --> 00:14:22,16 contaminated areas of ground so through the Superfund cleanup they're going to cart 147 00:14:22,50 --> 00:14:28,11 all of that out and restore. The river bank and flood plain 148 00:14:29,07 --> 00:14:32,88 Lucia you. Know it's a it's 149 00:14:32,89 --> 00:14:39,51 a water borne pollution. And. So the 150 00:14:39,52 --> 00:14:44,47 third aspect of our programs is engaged is the this is our newest program area this 151 00:14:44,48 --> 00:14:47,97 is our education and outreach initiatives so the car park basin is 152 00:14:47,98 --> 00:14:53,14 a big place and we need to connect people with the ongoing recovery with the story 153 00:14:53,15 --> 00:14:59,70 of our water waves. We can't do it alone. So we. At the core of 154 00:14:59,71 --> 00:15:04,33 a collision we really see climate change as as something that impacts all of our 155 00:15:04,34 --> 00:15:09,20 works that has the potential to reverse decades of restoration gains the clean up 156 00:15:09,21 --> 00:15:16,14 that has happened by. Exacerbating issues. It is another threat to 157 00:15:16,15 --> 00:15:22,07 clean and abundant water and it also holds economic threats for local communities 158 00:15:22,08 --> 00:15:28,83 who depend on rivers of community assets. So 159 00:15:29,84 --> 00:15:33,87 in two thousand and eight it's been over five years we commenced our climate action 160 00:15:33,88 --> 00:15:35,50 in the clerk for program with the release of 161 00:15:35,51 --> 00:15:40,26 a report called low flow top. And we did 162 00:15:40,69 --> 00:15:47,41 a lot of outreach surrounding this report. A And essentially 163 00:15:47,42 --> 00:15:52,21 what the reason that I feel that the report was successful is that we didn't talk 164 00:15:52,22 --> 00:15:56,66 about the origins of climate change the human caused nature of climate change we 165 00:15:56,67 --> 00:16:00,40 just we didn't sort of dive into that what we did was look at fifty years of data 166 00:16:00,41 --> 00:16:05,94 and observations and how we are seeing change in the car for watershed shifts in 167 00:16:05,95 --> 00:16:11,37 stream flow changes in runoff changes in precipitation changes in temperature. We 168 00:16:11,38 --> 00:16:17,65 rolled out this information nationally and regionally and opted to focus. A more 169 00:16:17,66 --> 00:16:24,30 regional outreach effort to to to prepare for the impacts of what the data 170 00:16:24,55 --> 00:16:31,47 was showing. So this in turn all the outrage surrounding our two 171 00:16:31,48 --> 00:16:32,90 thousand and eight report led to 172 00:16:32,91 --> 00:16:36,96 a community workshop that we co-hosted back in two thousand and eleven so this was 173 00:16:37,05 --> 00:16:44,01 prior even to this year summit where we brought folks together to talk about. What 174 00:16:44,02 --> 00:16:49,36 they valued about living in this community and strategies for preparing for the 175 00:16:49,37 --> 00:16:55,03 expected impacts of climate change. So the first question for those participants 176 00:16:55,04 --> 00:16:59,21 and questions I think for everyone who begin to think about these these issues are 177 00:16:59,22 --> 00:17:05,87 what matters most so I'll just ask the room. Why do you live here why do you have 178 00:17:05,88 --> 00:17:11,22 your business here why have you chosen to to do well here have your family here in 179 00:17:11,23 --> 00:17:17,67 western Montana Missoula County. Can be just. You know it's 180 00:17:17,68 --> 00:17:22,75 a sense of community. And there's a goodish close 181 00:17:22,76 --> 00:17:27,68 a glacier Yeah. University. Yeah. 182 00:17:31,33 --> 00:17:35,22 So these what you've all just said were echoed by the by the folks in the 183 00:17:35,23 --> 00:17:40,96 attendance high quality of life natural resources and that sort of intangible sense 184 00:17:40,97 --> 00:17:45,94 of community that came up in those discussions as well. Local food people really 185 00:17:45,95 --> 00:17:52,66 like local food local markets. So then we looked at at that 186 00:17:52,67 --> 00:17:58,34 workshop we looked at what the science is telling us. Again western Montana 187 00:17:58,35 --> 00:18:05,05 expected to get warmer. And it's has gotten warmer from one nine hundred fifty on 188 00:18:05,53 --> 00:18:09,42 so this graph is showing average air temperature from one hundred fifty to two 189 00:18:09,43 --> 00:18:10,59 thousand and six with 190 00:18:10,60 --> 00:18:17,59 a near two degree increase in the. Annual snowfall over the past fifty years 191 00:18:17,60 --> 00:18:24,04 or so our show is decreased so the climate change precipitation models you know are 192 00:18:24,04 --> 00:18:30,70 . The scenarios are variable but one thing that's kind of 193 00:18:30,71 --> 00:18:35,75 constant is that more precipitation is falling as rain instead of snow total 194 00:18:35,76 --> 00:18:41,11 precipitation models kind of vary but the snow pack on average on April first has 195 00:18:41,12 --> 00:18:45,68 decreased by thirty percent in the past fifty years. Fifty years. 196 00:18:48,57 --> 00:18:54,43 So changes in snowpack lead to less snow pack lead to changes in inflows earlier 197 00:18:54,44 --> 00:18:58,22 runoff typically with decreased no pack and that's been witnessed as well this is 198 00:18:58,23 --> 00:19:03,12 a chart showing runoff on the on the Blackfoot river the green is in two thousand 199 00:19:03,13 --> 00:19:07,07 and seven and you can see it's earlier than the average period of record there. 200 00:19:10,45 --> 00:19:15,72 Warmer stream temperatures on average this this data is from Rock Creek which is 201 00:19:15,73 --> 00:19:19,30 a blue ribbon trap stream for those of you that like to try to fish and I know I do 202 00:19:19,60 --> 00:19:25,15 and when you see the purple color there is showing more days of higher stream 203 00:19:25,16 --> 00:19:30,89 temperatures over seventy degrees and those warmer temperatures favor non-native 204 00:19:30,90 --> 00:19:37,34 species typically brown trout I'm as opposed to our native tribes species. So so 205 00:19:37,35 --> 00:19:38,59 back to the workshop folks had 206 00:19:38,60 --> 00:19:41,71 a chance to look at the science and you know all of this is available on our 207 00:19:41,72 --> 00:19:42,62 website and I did bring 208 00:19:42,63 --> 00:19:49,19 a couple copies to share going to stay away from the speaker. But what was really 209 00:19:49,20 --> 00:19:50,04 interesting is folks had 210 00:19:50,05 --> 00:19:52,95 a chance to look at social and economic data as well we had 211 00:19:52,96 --> 00:19:57,25 a partner in play headwaters economics who prepared 212 00:19:58,10 --> 00:20:04,04 a look at. The economy of Missoula County I find this research to be really 213 00:20:04,05 --> 00:20:07,39 valuable I continue to use this in my work today so I'm happy to share this link 214 00:20:07,40 --> 00:20:08,88 with folks but just 215 00:20:08,89 --> 00:20:15,56 a few snapshots that that kind of standout. Service related occupations so 216 00:20:15,57 --> 00:20:20,29 essentially occupations not having to do with farming mining construction 217 00:20:21,18 --> 00:20:28,00 a couple others make up the majority of our jobs here in Missoula County. Eighteen 218 00:20:28,01 --> 00:20:31,50 individual the status from twenty ten thousand individuals eighty percent of 219 00:20:31,51 --> 00:20:35,15 individuals are below the poverty line twenty three percent of individuals in two 220 00:20:35,16 --> 00:20:39,00 thousand and ten had no health insurance another interesting piece when thinking 221 00:20:39,01 --> 00:20:43,46 about adapting to changes is that over half of the land in Missoula County is under 222 00:20:43,47 --> 00:20:47,97 federal or state management so that's going to require the intense amount of 223 00:20:47,98 --> 00:20:54,71 collaboration. In preparing. So vulnerabilities economic vulnerability is 224 00:20:54,72 --> 00:20:59,00 identified through this process again that high quality of life the reason that 225 00:20:59,01 --> 00:21:03,43 we're that we're living here could be at risk impacts to the service related 226 00:21:03,44 --> 00:21:07,13 industry which again make over make up over seventy percent of jobs in Missoula 227 00:21:07,14 --> 00:21:13,55 County. Higher energy and food prices anticipated to have impacts 228 00:21:13,59 --> 00:21:20,45 locally. Water vulnerability invasive species which invasive species stand 229 00:21:20,46 --> 00:21:27,29 have ecological as well as economic as well. So major risks 230 00:21:27,30 --> 00:21:34,01 identified by the community at that time were. Species shifts Wild Fire 231 00:21:34,35 --> 00:21:40,89 drought no water in the streams flooding shift in runoff timing and then the local 232 00:21:40,90 --> 00:21:45,19 impact of global change people kind of picked up on this idea of climate refugees 233 00:21:45,45 --> 00:21:47,09 and thinking about climate change as a as 234 00:21:47,10 --> 00:21:49,47 a growth issue as well that you know this is already 235 00:21:49,48 --> 00:21:53,34 a very desirable place to live and as different areas of the country become less 236 00:21:53,35 --> 00:21:58,99 desirable is going to make western Montana even more so than it already is so so 237 00:21:58,100 --> 00:22:05,87 keep quiet to your friends about. So the group had over one 238 00:22:05,88 --> 00:22:11,68 hundred recommended actions and those that those actions you know that again this 239 00:22:11,69 --> 00:22:15,19 was put together in two thousand and eleven are being implemented today to 240 00:22:15,20 --> 00:22:21,06 a degree. It's things that stand out you know especially in the water around which 241 00:22:21,07 --> 00:22:24,47 is what I'm most familiar with there are the clerk for coalition has 242 00:22:24,48 --> 00:22:27,68 a robust in stream flow restoration program the U.S. 243 00:22:27,69 --> 00:22:31,46 Forest Service the court for coalition and some some private contractors have been 244 00:22:31,47 --> 00:22:35,79 partnering on an ongoing watershed vulnerability assessment on the low low National 245 00:22:35,80 --> 00:22:36,73 Forest so taking 246 00:22:36,74 --> 00:22:41,36 a look at which tributary streams which creeks might be most vulnerable to 247 00:22:42,12 --> 00:22:48,36 decreased flows decreased and this overall scenarios that are anticipated and that 248 00:22:48,40 --> 00:22:54,23 info can be used to inform management strategies so those are the many. 249 00:22:57,24 --> 00:23:02,94 Levels things like you know I'm not sure I'd have to look into that if it's not 250 00:23:02,98 --> 00:23:07,98 a part of that particular study I'm I'm imagining that that would be layered on you 251 00:23:07,99 --> 00:23:12,70 know in the ultimately to inform those management decisions but I'm not sure it's 252 00:23:12,71 --> 00:23:16,39 part of the vulnerability assessment I believe that more has to do with stream temp 253 00:23:16,62 --> 00:23:23,54 flow. Quantitative data like that. I'm 254 00:23:23,55 --> 00:23:30,10 going to keep plugging away here so. After that workshop 255 00:23:30,11 --> 00:23:34,63 which was in two thousand and eleven. In early two thousand and twelve the clock 256 00:23:34,64 --> 00:23:39,66 for coalition you know we sat with our report of recommended strategies and actions 257 00:23:39,98 --> 00:23:44,06 which are here and also available on our website and thought OK so where do we go 258 00:23:44,07 --> 00:23:48,50 from here we have one hundred plus strategies recommended by from the community 259 00:23:48,98 --> 00:23:51,38 a lot of these are already ongoing 260 00:23:51,39 --> 00:23:54,49 a lot of these projects are already underway there are adaptation initiatives 261 00:23:54,50 --> 00:23:59,32 underway there are mitigation strategies that local government levels like. How can 262 00:23:59,33 --> 00:24:04,07 we begin to begin coordinate these efforts and enhance what's going on share 263 00:24:04,08 --> 00:24:09,75 learning so we identified the first the first next step as. 264 00:24:10,79 --> 00:24:16,03 Bringing together representatives from programs and projects that were ongoing so 265 00:24:16,83 --> 00:24:21,78 we formed what we call the ADAPT working group and it's made up of close to twelve 266 00:24:21,79 --> 00:24:25,70 individuals representing various sectors in our community we have representatives 267 00:24:25,71 --> 00:24:32,33 from the Forest Service. Local conservation groups Montana Audubon alternative 268 00:24:32,34 --> 00:24:38,68 energy resources organization the city of. Community Food and Agriculture coalition 269 00:24:38,94 --> 00:24:43,68 of the local landowner. This group was formed at the outset as 270 00:24:43,69 --> 00:24:45,07 a peer learning network so 271 00:24:45,08 --> 00:24:47,96 a place for folks can come together talk about climate change talk about 272 00:24:47,97 --> 00:24:52,44 communication strategies around climate change. What's working kind of from that 273 00:24:52,45 --> 00:24:56,15 broader perspective insofar as OK What's the reception to the work that you're 274 00:24:56,16 --> 00:25:01,84 doing how what are your challenges where your road blocks and and and sharing info 275 00:25:01,85 --> 00:25:03,95 and trying to move things forward we talk 276 00:25:03,96 --> 00:25:09,81 a lot about fund raising and trying to garner money in the group. It became pretty 277 00:25:09,82 --> 00:25:13,01 obvious as the year progressed that people really wanted to sink their teeth into 278 00:25:13,02 --> 00:25:15,52 something more and really just keep keep moving 279 00:25:15,53 --> 00:25:20,82 a lot of things forward. Implementing even more ideas from the community report but 280 00:25:20,83 --> 00:25:24,99 also to in gay. Others that weren't in the room and that's been you know definitely 281 00:25:25,00 --> 00:25:25,64 a challenge from 282 00:25:25,65 --> 00:25:30,31 a Climate Change planning perspective is engaging quote unquote nontraditional 283 00:25:30,32 --> 00:25:35,100 allies so folks who maybe climate change planning is in the lexicon is in sort of 284 00:25:36,01 --> 00:25:42,78 the driving motivation behind strategic plans or. You know their goal setting for 285 00:25:42,79 --> 00:25:46,88 the for the year coming year so how do we how do we get more of this outreach out 286 00:25:46,89 --> 00:25:51,44 there so we landed on. The muzzle 287 00:25:51,45 --> 00:25:56,42 a community climate summit and so I want to kind of stop here and spend some time 288 00:25:56,43 --> 00:25:58,44 and maybe go back and forth with with you guys 289 00:25:58,45 --> 00:26:03,79 a little bit but. There were so there were 290 00:26:04,66 --> 00:26:11,49 a lot of motivations going and going into this. One is One was we want to 291 00:26:11,53 --> 00:26:17,02 broadcast to showcase these ongoing efforts adaptation mitigation to the larger 292 00:26:17,03 --> 00:26:17,80 community there's 293 00:26:17,81 --> 00:26:21,77 a lot going on you know as anyone who lives in the Lindo is on than 294 00:26:21,78 --> 00:26:26,89 a given weekend or weeknight like tonight there are volunteer opportunities there 295 00:26:26,90 --> 00:26:30,09 are workshops there are learning activities and many of those are sustainability 296 00:26:30,41 --> 00:26:35,99 oriented around sustainability so. How do we you know bring all that together 297 00:26:36,00 --> 00:26:41,61 showcase what's going on maybe begin to share resources leverage them activities to 298 00:26:41,62 --> 00:26:46,29 help others so that was definitely one motivating factor behind behind the summit 299 00:26:46,30 --> 00:26:49,46 is bring folks together from different sectors different industries across the 300 00:26:49,47 --> 00:26:54,62 community and share what's going on the second was. To provide 301 00:26:54,63 --> 00:27:01,34 a space for people to share ideas again in that cross sector format so. This 302 00:27:01,35 --> 00:27:06,61 deliberative dialogue model listed there has been modeled at the University of 303 00:27:06,62 --> 00:27:12,56 Montana. And I should pause here and say that I know means was working alone on 304 00:27:12,57 --> 00:27:15,76 this effort a daft working group is 305 00:27:15,77 --> 00:27:21,75 a phenomenal group of folks. And my my co-leader in this was 306 00:27:21,76 --> 00:27:25,69 a nice film burkha Montana Audubon and Nikki fear from the University of Montana 307 00:27:25,70 --> 00:27:31,09 and Nikki has modeled campus conversations around climate change she's hosted two 308 00:27:31,10 --> 00:27:35,87 of those and she shared her deliberative model with us so basically and I know we 309 00:27:35,88 --> 00:27:35,97 have 310 00:27:35,98 --> 00:27:42,60 a couple folks here who participated in the day but. People had an opportunity to 311 00:27:42,61 --> 00:27:43,50 sit at a table with 312 00:27:43,51 --> 00:27:47,23 a moderator and share their big idea for climate change in the kind of go around in 313 00:27:47,24 --> 00:27:54,02 a circle and work off of each other. This second 314 00:27:54,03 --> 00:28:00,89 piece I want to speak to is. Was the invite invite question because because not 315 00:28:00,90 --> 00:28:05,53 only did we want to share learning but we wanted to inspire action so action 316 00:28:05,54 --> 00:28:11,99 requires action makers. Makers people who have the ability to influence the 317 00:28:12,00 --> 00:28:18,20 community to make decisions to you know to to shift things forward so we tried to 318 00:28:18,21 --> 00:28:22,80 be very strategic about putting an invite list together and thinking about the best 319 00:28:22,81 --> 00:28:28,95 ways to get those movers and shakers in the room so thankfully this effort. 320 00:28:30,44 --> 00:28:34,85 Was our brainstorming around this planning process was simultaneously occurring 321 00:28:35,14 --> 00:28:40,43 right around when the city of Missoula passed its conservation and Climate Action 322 00:28:40,44 --> 00:28:45,20 Plan for municipal operations so the city's mitigation plan their plan to reduce 323 00:28:45,21 --> 00:28:50,39 greenhouse gas emissions and the mayor has been tremendously supportive of climate 324 00:28:50,40 --> 00:28:55,17 action planning and has been on board from the start and has always been interested 325 00:28:55,18 --> 00:28:58,60 to in the in the face what he calls the phase two the next step in bringing this 326 00:28:58,61 --> 00:29:02,46 out to the community so we were able to partner with the mayor and utilize his 327 00:29:02,47 --> 00:29:04,18 influence to invite 328 00:29:04,22 --> 00:29:09,99 a lot of really great people to the summit and we had over one hundred people there 329 00:29:10,03 --> 00:29:11,96 this year and I know we had it with 330 00:29:12,00 --> 00:29:14,25 a couple folks here who were there that day so if you guys want to share your 331 00:29:14,26 --> 00:29:21,19 experience that would be great so it's not just me talking about it but. In 332 00:29:21,20 --> 00:29:23,39 the in the feedback we've received since the event 333 00:29:23,40 --> 00:29:26,50 a lot of you know when we asked why did you come you know why did you want to come 334 00:29:26,51 --> 00:29:30,75 and talk about climate change and they said I was invited I was invited by someone 335 00:29:30,76 --> 00:29:31,68 I knew by a by 336 00:29:31,69 --> 00:29:36,04 a colleague that I respect the mayor invited me you know the my my friend at the 337 00:29:36,05 --> 00:29:39,80 university invited me you know so it's so going to this OK so if we create that 338 00:29:39,81 --> 00:29:45,88 space if we if we ask people to participate in the dialogue. Maybe it's not so hard 339 00:29:46,35 --> 00:29:52,72 enough. So. Yeah must be 340 00:29:53,14 --> 00:29:59,53 really strange isn't it you know yeah. And you know you just read and you go and 341 00:29:59,54 --> 00:30:04,45 you kind of. View it with you is 342 00:30:04,46 --> 00:30:11,40 a very yes right in the face is really inviting. Him in the moment 343 00:30:11,41 --> 00:30:18,06 just listening so I am glad. I think he looks familiar and I know what. 344 00:30:20,14 --> 00:30:25,74 A great thank you. So I created this little I did this perfection and I could this 345 00:30:25,75 --> 00:30:31,86 little tag cloud because I'm well there's a lot of data to go through and 346 00:30:31,87 --> 00:30:36,76 a lot of information to go through following the summit we have over fifty pages of 347 00:30:36,77 --> 00:30:42,34 notes from all the different tables with everyone's ideas for action and and 348 00:30:42,35 --> 00:30:46,65 priorities they've emphasized and one where they want to see our community energy 349 00:30:46,66 --> 00:30:50,94 focus and our organizing committee is trying to go through 350 00:30:50,95 --> 00:30:56,34 a very mindful process of organizing that information and then reflecting that back 351 00:30:56,35 --> 00:31:01,50 at the attendees and determining next steps but I started here just with some you 352 00:31:01,51 --> 00:31:07,12 know big emerging themes you know that that popped out from the. Big ideas folks 353 00:31:07,13 --> 00:31:12,29 had the chance to share their big ideas which. Sort of ran the gamut between we 354 00:31:12,30 --> 00:31:16,26 need more education on climate change we need to we need to get our youth involved 355 00:31:16,58 --> 00:31:17,10 too we need 356 00:31:17,11 --> 00:31:22,36 a more robust recycling program we need renewable energy sources transportation was 357 00:31:22,56 --> 00:31:27,45 huge lots of tables people talked about transportation solutions the mountain lion 358 00:31:27,46 --> 00:31:33,55 Levy came up. The two exciting pieces for me are at the top there we had over one 359 00:31:33,56 --> 00:31:38,27 hundred twenty folks in attendance and seventy people want to stay involved in 360 00:31:38,91 --> 00:31:45,89 community response to climate change so. Now is the 361 00:31:45,90 --> 00:31:51,71 hard part. So like I mentioned we have an incredible amount of information 362 00:31:52,46 --> 00:31:58,45 from from the summit more big ideas you know big ideas that are similar to the 363 00:31:58,46 --> 00:32:01,91 community recommendations they came out of the time allies report but are also much 364 00:32:01,92 --> 00:32:05,87 different too and because of the folks that were there again we had leaders in 365 00:32:05,88 --> 00:32:11,03 economic development business leaders University agency folks like cetera. There is 366 00:32:11,04 --> 00:32:15,84 a little bit more of an economic interest in some of the ideas. Which will be 367 00:32:15,85 --> 00:32:22,77 interesting to dive into so. We've decided to that the best moving forward 368 00:32:22,78 --> 00:32:23,79 is going to be to create 369 00:32:23,80 --> 00:32:29,13 a website to house all of this information as opposed to putting together another 370 00:32:29,14 --> 00:32:30,23 report you know where 371 00:32:30,40 --> 00:32:34,65 a document can be sort of inherently hierarchical you know with this comes first 372 00:32:34,66 --> 00:32:39,53 come second in that it's I think it's important not to reflect that sense but to 373 00:32:39,54 --> 00:32:41,90 have everything sort of out in the open and let 374 00:32:41,91 --> 00:32:44,83 a user explore we're also going to be doing 375 00:32:44,84 --> 00:32:50,07 a very very short post survey asking people specifically what climate action 376 00:32:50,08 --> 00:32:54,35 projects you are working on and who you're working with and then our group is going 377 00:32:54,36 --> 00:32:55,24 to work to create 378 00:32:55,28 --> 00:33:00,88 a visual so kind of similar to that tag cloud really show the projects that are 379 00:33:00,89 --> 00:33:05,67 really big right now and who's working on them to sort of let that network that 380 00:33:05,90 --> 00:33:11,57 that network of folks sort of emerge organically always that's the hope. Of people 381 00:33:11,58 --> 00:33:17,05 to respond to that quick survey first. Because it's tricky right I mean this is 382 00:33:17,06 --> 00:33:20,72 community organizing this is how do you move things forward and so we want it we 383 00:33:20,73 --> 00:33:24,98 want to begin working on projects and begin implementing big ideas but that that 384 00:33:24,99 --> 00:33:30,11 core organizing part moving forward that that vision for the community is important 385 00:33:30,18 --> 00:33:36,89 too so. We think we need to meet again. But this time we're going to 386 00:33:36,90 --> 00:33:39,08 be. Organizing more of 387 00:33:39,09 --> 00:33:42,51 a social you know kind of similar tent tonight probably won't even be quite as 388 00:33:42,52 --> 00:33:46,75 formal as tonight but will begin to talk about next steps and what this what this 389 00:33:46,76 --> 00:33:51,76 might look like you know how we organize work on some of these projects. And how we 390 00:33:51,77 --> 00:33:58,17 enhance this network moving forward. So that you know I'm going to stop 391 00:33:58,42 --> 00:34:03,04 there. And I'm sorry if I went to. 392 00:34:10,79 --> 00:34:17,57 You know if. They didn't know that wonderful nation homework is 393 00:34:17,72 --> 00:34:24,65 the day. It is always. There. Was 394 00:34:24,66 --> 00:34:28,62 information from Asia human eggs missions this is 395 00:34:29,41 --> 00:34:36,06 a tradition. Leaving really heads and saying what you really are going to hear from 396 00:34:36,07 --> 00:34:41,38 you on. This in 397 00:34:41,39 --> 00:34:44,39 a lot of shots. One thing. 398 00:34:48,34 --> 00:34:55,07 One might. Conference was that you know it's rude. And. 399 00:34:58,17 --> 00:35:03,28 Yeah it was real wrong. Each. 400 00:35:06,79 --> 00:35:12,62 Business and I'm just wondering you know this is. Really. 401 00:35:16,79 --> 00:35:23,47 Just. I think that is 402 00:35:23,48 --> 00:35:29,89 a huge question and I don't exactly have an answer for you except to say 403 00:35:30,65 --> 00:35:37,13 that. I really think that the structure moving forward is going to be important 404 00:35:37,74 --> 00:35:41,79 and I am an action oriented person you know I just I like to just get things done 405 00:35:41,80 --> 00:35:46,89 move forward boom boom boom. But if we start spinning and going on different 406 00:35:46,90 --> 00:35:49,02 projects and people working on specialized things that they know 407 00:35:49,03 --> 00:35:53,65 a lot about you know that that sort of. That that momentum and that 408 00:35:53,70 --> 00:35:58,12 a little bit of that energy in that share. The community to that community sharing 409 00:35:58,13 --> 00:36:02,22 peace is lost so I agree with you so I don't I don't have 410 00:36:02,23 --> 00:36:06,40 a. System I can share with you that we're going to utilize right at present but 411 00:36:06,41 --> 00:36:08,43 that these are definitely things that work thinking about. 412 00:36:17,76 --> 00:36:24,58 The climate summit the month ago was about one hundred. A month ago I think she 413 00:36:24,59 --> 00:36:30,60 said about one hundred twenty. Questions you might 414 00:36:31,45 --> 00:36:38,02 just actually Mike Castle here but really you all see this so that you can 415 00:36:38,65 --> 00:36:45,50 rationalise that. You're with me right now. Not that. I 416 00:36:45,51 --> 00:36:49,87 can help because I have the free area. Of the. 417 00:36:56,36 --> 00:37:02,60 Market at least. With money. And you. 418 00:37:03,87 --> 00:37:04,06 Get 419 00:37:04,07 --> 00:37:12,74 a sense. Of humor because we're not what. You 420 00:37:12,75 --> 00:37:13,57 think you are. 421 00:37:22,48 --> 00:37:29,12 I guess what struck us right is you know. What she. Says I think. 422 00:37:33,03 --> 00:37:39,45 Oh. Yeah. Well the others just use any effort to change 423 00:37:39,81 --> 00:37:46,19 your he. She will train me we'll raise. You yeah 424 00:37:46,88 --> 00:37:53,76 yeah. Great question. I'll answer the second one first we are 425 00:37:53,77 --> 00:37:59,94 doing research on. Communities are up to and in fact in preparation for the summit 426 00:37:59,95 --> 00:38:04,10 we produced a resource guide that did offer just kind of 427 00:38:04,11 --> 00:38:07,68 a snapshot of what's in different communities or up to especially across the west 428 00:38:07,94 --> 00:38:12,24 and we're going to continue to to enhance that on the website so I think the 429 00:38:12,25 --> 00:38:14,22 website is that it's a good place to to house 430 00:38:14,23 --> 00:38:19,31 a lot of that information and update it. Because I agree with Elaine on the one 431 00:38:19,32 --> 00:38:22,79 hand we're I think we're special here and we like to think of ourselves 432 00:38:22,80 --> 00:38:26,62 a special and unique and no one maybe can tell us how to do things or maybe that's 433 00:38:26,63 --> 00:38:29,46 the sentiment but it does need to be 434 00:38:29,47 --> 00:38:32,85 a locally driven effort but there are invaluable lessons learned you know if 435 00:38:32,86 --> 00:38:35,77 they're in communities that are similar to ours you know and demographics and 436 00:38:35,78 --> 00:38:42,49 location. Education I also agree you know it's big and I know that there are 437 00:38:42,50 --> 00:38:45,99 efforts and specifically you know certain teachers that are really working on 438 00:38:46,22 --> 00:38:50,64 infusing their science curriculum with some with some climate change awareness and 439 00:38:50,65 --> 00:38:56,55 education activities. But I am not familiar with with any planned effort I do know 440 00:38:56,56 --> 00:38:59,65 that the public schools are currently I think they're looking at their standards 441 00:39:00,02 --> 00:39:04,78 right now as anyone involved in public school education or I think I think they're 442 00:39:04,79 --> 00:39:05,78 looking at they're doing like 443 00:39:05,79 --> 00:39:12,04 a five year planning process at present. And there they're definitely 444 00:39:12,51 --> 00:39:13,10 listed as 445 00:39:13,11 --> 00:39:17,55 a group to to engage with yeah and there are other conservation organizations I 446 00:39:17,56 --> 00:39:21,40 know like for example the watershed Education Network in town that they've been 447 00:39:21,41 --> 00:39:28,06 looking into some climate change education models as well. Have just. 448 00:39:35,98 --> 00:39:42,88 Said oh here you. Can Be happy oh so OK 449 00:39:43,68 --> 00:39:50,40 now let's listen to yeah come on stand by me. First off I want to say 450 00:39:50,44 --> 00:39:57,44 thank you to the court for coalition for keeping this alive thanks Secondly I 451 00:39:57,45 --> 00:40:03,89 would like to ask has there been in the other localities around the country that 452 00:40:03,90 --> 00:40:10,49 you're aware of who are also addressing this issue. An acknowledgement that perhaps 453 00:40:11,17 --> 00:40:16,03 Montana communities such as Missoula are in 454 00:40:16,04 --> 00:40:21,63 a preservation mode of what we have versus those. 455 00:40:23,39 --> 00:40:30,13 Communities who have already had significant. Degradation of their 456 00:40:30,14 --> 00:40:36,43 environment. That makes it to me it makes it two different scenarios to address 457 00:40:37,37 --> 00:40:42,42 this now your question is do other communities recognise our position or where 458 00:40:42,43 --> 00:40:45,43 we're getting some right that Missoula could actually be 459 00:40:45,47 --> 00:40:52,17 a prototype for. How to preserve what they have versus 460 00:40:52,28 --> 00:40:59,06 have to go to the point at which degradation has occurred and now yeah. You know 461 00:40:59,07 --> 00:41:02,59 I'm not sure I think we'd have to reach out to other communities and survey them 462 00:41:02,60 --> 00:41:07,22 and ask them what their perception of our community is but I agree with you that 463 00:41:07,64 --> 00:41:07,89 this is 464 00:41:07,90 --> 00:41:14,17 a tremendous opportunity for our community to really model. Some solutions you know 465 00:41:14,18 --> 00:41:20,38 to try things out of way the waters to see what works what doesn't work. And and 466 00:41:20,61 --> 00:41:24,07 and there's opportunity for us to showcase the work that we're doing while we're 467 00:41:24,08 --> 00:41:28,79 doing it so that others can learn and we can function in the lead and also from 468 00:41:28,92 --> 00:41:29,42 from 469 00:41:30,31 --> 00:41:36,24 a leadership role within the national context now is what I'm saying yeah I think 470 00:41:36,25 --> 00:41:42,58 there's room for that yeah. This is 471 00:41:43,47 --> 00:41:48,39 the question it's more. Common Yeah. 472 00:41:52,21 --> 00:41:58,91 And then he says. This is the team. He's even stronger. 473 00:42:01,52 --> 00:42:05,20 Because people here probably believe that you just want. 474 00:42:08,73 --> 00:42:14,80 To make sure. We see who they are they should. 475 00:42:16,42 --> 00:42:23,40 Be some community only because we are so hard that is going 476 00:42:23,41 --> 00:42:29,52 to stand up to history but. There are. 477 00:42:30,60 --> 00:42:35,94 Doesn't does act in conservation groups in this area. 478 00:42:37,46 --> 00:42:44,34 My first thought was reading can truly mean to get. To groups who 479 00:42:44,38 --> 00:42:45,10 all have 480 00:42:45,16 --> 00:42:52,100 a vision for what he needs to coalesce and come together in. A 481 00:42:53,01 --> 00:42:58,36 unified manner kind of undermines the concept of organic. 482 00:42:59,96 --> 00:43:04,84 The idea that when we talk about being We're gamers contrived and probably using 483 00:43:04,85 --> 00:43:06,13 the word the word in 484 00:43:06,14 --> 00:43:13,14 a way to be seen for jurors that are into needs but when we start you lose our 485 00:43:13,37 --> 00:43:20,30 structures. And not allow for the organic. It's true. 486 00:43:21,64 --> 00:43:24,27 So I'm hoping that whether it's 487 00:43:24,28 --> 00:43:30,23 a major read or it's this. What other forums. 488 00:43:32,51 --> 00:43:39,35 Can be most useful this would be useful for say that the. Business community 489 00:43:39,77 --> 00:43:46,48 trying to get in. There recognizes what the big picture says and how 490 00:43:46,49 --> 00:43:53,30 many groups are already working toward their. New ways of doing but the idea 491 00:43:53,31 --> 00:43:57,70 is trying to bring together yeah where we can get stuff. 492 00:44:02,28 --> 00:44:03,49 Here coming makes me think of 493 00:44:03,53 --> 00:44:08,47 a couple things makes me think of Transition Town right in their their efforts from 494 00:44:08,59 --> 00:44:12,82 everything they've been striving toward. And also the. 495 00:44:15,78 --> 00:44:20,05 That we're trying to preserve what we have and it is interesting to think about 496 00:44:20,06 --> 00:44:23,80 especially in from the perspective of the clockwork river how much that river has 497 00:44:23,81 --> 00:44:29,10 been through and Missouri is you know we used to turn our backs from the river the 498 00:44:29,11 --> 00:44:29,88 river was 499 00:44:29,89 --> 00:44:36,76 a dump you know there were periods when I ran red. And. It back has turned 500 00:44:36,77 --> 00:44:40,98 around businesses clamor to be by the river you know the corporate River Market 501 00:44:40,99 --> 00:44:46,91 wanted to be next to the river the river is on the rebound. So at the same time 502 00:44:46,92 --> 00:44:53,50 there's this really remarkable example in our backyard of. We have made something 503 00:44:53,51 --> 00:44:55,15 better together as 504 00:44:55,16 --> 00:45:02,36 a community. Well 505 00:45:02,36 --> 00:45:06,96 . I was privileged to send this son as 506 00:45:06,97 --> 00:45:11,24 a moderator and in addition to working with the S.P.C. 507 00:45:11,25 --> 00:45:18,14 Here and Zuma working with stand in Colorado it is has basically salted the hill is 508 00:45:18,15 --> 00:45:24,62 a system set up as to those resources for information pledging to build and for 509 00:45:25,44 --> 00:45:30,55 across the country really based on what they'd learned in Hollywood and in their 510 00:45:30,56 --> 00:45:34,99 case it really has to stop everything they're doing you know being locally business 511 00:45:35,00 --> 00:45:40,14 isn't financing so this is a little business in some ways to create 512 00:45:40,15 --> 00:45:46,13 a. Disaster Relief Fund because they're letting that happen pretty soon as humans 513 00:45:46,18 --> 00:45:52,82 on land irrigation health tickler Yes and with things they've been working for over 514 00:45:52,83 --> 00:45:57,86 a decade they're building stalled I think older support for the low teens who says 515 00:45:57,87 --> 00:46:01,14 that sustainable way and locally that is not 516 00:46:01,15 --> 00:46:05,89 a lover of that point is that it was this flood came they realize that they not 517 00:46:05,90 --> 00:46:10,05 only had to lay heavily on the stakeholder that they had hoped he had 518 00:46:10,06 --> 00:46:15,30 a whole lot of new this just they hadn't dealt with dozens of help companies for 519 00:46:15,31 --> 00:46:20,58 example because this isn't owned by different persons and consumed this is and 520 00:46:20,59 --> 00:46:25,07 you're going see the example of why creating 521 00:46:25,13 --> 00:46:30,02 a foundation all this in this instance is in itself creating 522 00:46:30,03 --> 00:46:36,04 a resiliency for the community and our sense of community here and this. First was 523 00:46:36,05 --> 00:46:41,50 this to do this alone maybe perhaps just the two Americans because part of what we 524 00:46:41,51 --> 00:46:48,24 can model for the president is now yeah that was great. For 525 00:46:48,25 --> 00:46:54,93 me. To. Say 526 00:46:55,61 --> 00:47:00,83 I wasn't there then because this vote is listen to the man was. 527 00:47:03,04 --> 00:47:03,83 That it was 528 00:47:03,84 --> 00:47:10,87 a risk to calm down it's really easy to do that because 529 00:47:11,07 --> 00:47:17,27 you received during the last minute you say you know it's very clear that. 530 00:47:18,51 --> 00:47:24,78 That concept is. Very. Challenging as good 531 00:47:25,35 --> 00:47:31,93 as it is you said it as she said that she will enter Egypt and it shut it down. And 532 00:47:31,94 --> 00:47:36,94 told me to tell you right now. It really is 533 00:47:36,95 --> 00:47:43,02 a common goal and where it says. This is the travel season will be 534 00:47:43,13 --> 00:47:49,64 a very long but it is only here you're so many years you know with best care was 535 00:47:50,14 --> 00:47:56,39 the end she was immediately on the stand. So they traveled archives from C.N.N. 536 00:47:56,53 --> 00:48:02,68 This week the man. Who teaches ice cream this is 537 00:48:02,79 --> 00:48:09,49 a big this. Is get this if you can actually see where Richard but it 538 00:48:10,38 --> 00:48:16,63 has been an increasingly junk just because it's not just reading we don't read 539 00:48:16,88 --> 00:48:21,69 which is very cheap that you are leaving out and there was 540 00:48:21,70 --> 00:48:28,61 a moment you could let that as it was you hear him that he has to. 541 00:48:29,86 --> 00:48:36,64 Listen to the book. Or that information and. Yes 542 00:48:37,14 --> 00:48:44,05 let me listen to live as they. Are. Yeah I think 543 00:48:44,06 --> 00:48:44,21 that's 544 00:48:44,22 --> 00:48:49,58 a grid. And we should stay in touch and figure out how to move some of this is 545 00:48:49,59 --> 00:48:51,10 where I would I would love to see 546 00:48:51,11 --> 00:48:58,11 a market change yeah yeah and I think you know I think the. It's very important to 547 00:48:58,12 --> 00:49:01,46 involve administrators and teachers right and think about their standards and their 548 00:49:01,47 --> 00:49:08,47 set of goals and how you know how to work in the system and to fill 549 00:49:08,48 --> 00:49:13,62 the needs that they have while you know introducing what can be you know political 550 00:49:13,63 --> 00:49:18,45 and employment story topic so you know things like introducing surveys of teachers 551 00:49:18,46 --> 00:49:22,78 first to sort of figure out OK So what exactly is happening first and then sort of 552 00:49:22,79 --> 00:49:27,83 taking that to inform some next steps could be.

Think. 572 00:51:28,19 --> 00:51:34,46 You know you do this so much with authors. And I match up something that you give 573 00:51:34,56 --> 00:51:40,67 really our. Great legs and the example that would 574 00:51:41,40 --> 00:51:48,36 connect it. And believe. Me. Because this is 575 00:51:48,37 --> 00:51:54,79 the civil business council and. The economic implications of the case before it 576 00:51:55,42 --> 00:52:00,25 is one of the many things I would like to see if there are any This is people or 577 00:52:00,26 --> 00:52:06,86 people who are going to. Be working this is reflected in anything about that 578 00:52:06,87 --> 00:52:12,89 is that's your business what sense or do you. See go forward. 579 00:52:15,50 --> 00:52:21,58 And see one spot.
