Fearrington Village Green Scene Meeting Wednesday, November 9, 2022

Do you know a fellow resident here in Fearrington who had a monthly electric bill of ZERO this past Summer ? Or another monthly electric bill of $ 7.00 ?

Well, I do know of such a person.  And he is coming to our Green Scene meeting next Wednesday, in the large room at The Gathering Place, at 11:00 AM, to explain how he accomplished that feat.

And he will be accompanied by a few other Fearringtonians who are also knowledgeable about how many of us can consider taking the steps necessary toward possibly achieving similar results.

While that presentation will be the "main event" on our agenda    -   there will also be a variety of other environmental items of interest as well.

So, mark your calendar   -   and feel free to bring a friend.

Chatham County NC Has Developed a New Mapping Tool Aimed at Helping Electric Vehicle (EV) Drivers Find Public Charging Stations

Individuals who drive an electric vehicle and utilize popular apps or websites to locate public chargers throughout Chatham County often experience large discrepancies in EV station info from app to app. From broken chargers and inaccurate locations to outdated pricing, finding consistent and up-to-date information can be a challenge for EV drivers in the county.

A team of staff members from the Environmental Quality, Geographic Information Systems, and Planning Departments developed a free, online tool to help overcome this challenge. Utilizing information collected and compiled from field surveys and online databases, the Chatham County EV Charging Station Finder is now available for community members to locate the charging stations that best fit their needs.

The EV Charging Station Finder is a web-based map that details helpful information for each charging station in Chatham County, such as exact location and nearby landmarks, photos, price, charging capacity, number and type of plugs, and station network. With the click of a button, the tool can open a station’s location in Google Maps to assist in navigation.

Since the needs of different electric vehicles can vary widely, the locator includes widgets designed to filter which stations are displayed by common requests, such as free chargers, stations that have the plug type compatible with specific vehicle models, or stations that offer the fastest charge. To ensure the EV Charging Station Finder remains up to date, the map includes an online form where users can report a damaged station, or the location of a new charger not yet included.

“With climate change posing major threats to our region, and with funding becoming more available to local governments for improving electric vehicle charging infrastructure, the Chatham County EV Charging Station Finder is just one step of many that Chatham County is taking to make sustainable alternatives accessible for our community,” said Brandon Dawson with the Chatham County Planning Department.

The EV Station Finder can be found on the Chatham County GIS Portal. Individuals with questions may contact Kevin Lindley, Chatham County Director of Environmental Quality, at (919) 545-7875 or kevin.lindley@chathamcountync.gov.

After Action Report for the Fearrington Village FHA/Green Scene Fall 2022 “2-in-1” Community Recycling Event Held on October 15, 2022

We had 167 vehicles come through the line   –   just a few vehicles shy of one per minute over the three hour duration of the event. We collected 3,240 pounds of paper, that was shredded, and recycled by sending it to a Georgia Pacific Company toilet tissue factory in Georgia.

Recycled paper is proven to save trees: using less tree fiber, fresh water, energy, and producing less waste than traditional virgin fiber paper. One ton of magazine paper made from virgin fiber requires fifteen trees. Those trees can remain in the ground if we widely and effectively increase our use of recycled paper.

Each ton (2000 pounds) of recycled paper can save 17 trees, 380 gallons of oil, three cubic yards of landfill space, 4000 kilowatts of energy, and 7000 gallons of water.

The Chatham County Sheriff’s people collected 55.1 pounds of medications.  That’s a lot of chemical stuff that won’t be flushed down the toilet.

Planning ahead, consider circling the third Saturday in May 2023 (May 20, 2023), when we will have the opportunity to replicate our recent efforts.

And   –   once again  – a big THANK YOU for the enthusiastic support to all who participated in the Fearrington Village Fall 2022 “2—in-1” Community Recycling Event!

Announcing the Fall 2022 FHA/GREEN SCENE Annual "2-in-1" Community Recycling Event

 FOR FEARRINGTON AND GALLOWAY RIDGE RESIDENTS ONLY.

FHA In Partnership with The GREEN SCENE

Saturday, October 15, 2022  Only Between 9:00am and Noon

2 Events — 1 Day: Gathering Place Parking Lot.  

MASKS OPTIONAL DURING THE EVENT

This Event is Sponsored by the FHA and by 

Fearrington Resident & FHA Vice President Amy Ghiloni.

 

Saturday, October 15, 2022 we will be hosting our semi-annual "2-in-1" paper shredding and pharmaceutical disposal event from 9:00 AM until Noon in The Gathering Place parking lot.  As most of you are aware, this event has for many years been known as the "3-in-1" event   -   with the third element being a home fire extinguisher company offering inspection and recharging services.  With the evolution in the market place toward the increased availability of very affordable "single use" extinguishers, we have decided that paying a vendor to come and provide a service of dwindling interest is an activity that we will step away from at this time.

As, in the past, this event is co-sponsored by the Fearrington Homeowners Association providing financial support, and the Fearrington Green Scene providing the dedicated volunteers who do the physical work.  We are also grateful for the financial support of Fearrington resident Amy Ghiloni of ReMax United Real Estate of Chapel Hill.

Forever Chemicals: The Threat of PFAS in Our Water

Forever chemicals: The threat of PFAS in our water

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (known as PFAS) are long-lasting compounds that are showing up in soil, ground water, drinking water sources, even rainfall, and have been linked to cancer, liver damage, thyroid disease, and other ailments. By some estimates, this toxic family of chemicals can be found in the blood of nearly every person on the planet.

CBS Sunday Morning, August 21, 2022 -- Lee Cowan reports on the chemical compounds PFAS, which have contaminated water supplies across the country for decades and have been linked to cancer, liver damage, thyroid disease and more.

Chatham County to Participate in Solarize the Triangle

Chatham County will join 10 communities as the Triangle Sustainability Partnership will publicly launch its regionwide community-based group-buying program on August 10, 2022. The public is invited to a free event at the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. Individuals will learn more about solar-energy options for local residents, businesses, and non-profit organizations.

Solarize the Triangle is a unique campaign which allows residents and businesses to save on the cost of a system through combined purchasing with others in the Triangle plus the availability of a federal tax credit.

“Chatham County is proud to participate in the Solarize the Triangle Campaign,” said Chatham County Manager Dan LaMontagne. “By making it easier for our homeowners and businesses to go solar, the campaign supports our goal of promoting clean, renewable energy, making Chatham County one of the coolest places to live in North Carolina and in America.”

The launch celebration will feature:

• Representatives from the Partnership that developed and support Solarize the Triangle
• Experts in solar energy from the locally selected installer company chosen via competitive bidding
• Live music and painting by Little Red Birds. A portion of proceeds from the evening’s event art-auction sales will be dedicated to supporting solar energy for qualified low-income families
• Details about the benefits of solar energy and battery storage, and
• How one can enroll for a free solar-energy assessment of their residence or place of business through Solarize the Triangle.

Solarize the Triangle is a community-based group-purchasing program for solar energy, battery storage and other clean-energy technologies. The initiative is designed to serve residents, businesses, and nonprofits to become more resilient, reduce energy expenses, and save on the cost of renewable-energy systems by obtaining volume discounts on materials and installation services.

Solarize campaigns are driven by community group purchasing. Based on a tiered “bulk” purchasing concept, the more local residents and business owners who contract for their solar installations through the program, the more savings accrue to all participating property owners.

Joining Chatham County, other participating Triangle communities include: City of Durham, City of Raleigh, Durham County, Town of Cary, Town of Chapel Hill, Town of Hillsborough, Town of Carrboro, Town of Apex, Town of Morrisville, and Orange County. The Triangle J Council of Governments and Solar CrowdSource are facilitating the launch of Solarize the Triangle with Triangle local governments.

In addition to participating in Solarize the Triangle, Chatham County has received a designation as a SolSmart Gold community. The SolSmart program recognizes local governments that are friendly to solar development and have made focused efforts to simplify the process of installing solar panels. The Gold level designation is the highest the program offers. Both participating in the Solarize the Triangle program and achieving the SolSmart Gold designation contribute to Chatham County’s Comprehensive Plan goal of becoming a carbon neutral county by reducing the amount of energy generated using fossil fuels.

Following the community celebration on August 10th, Solarize the Triangle organizers will schedule and offer a series of clean-energy education and outreach events with a goal of increasing participation through a better understanding of rooftop solar components, suitability assessment considerations, and contract provisions.

All solar and battery installations are expected to be completed by November 30, 2023.

Solarize the Triangle is already accepting advance registrations for the upcoming campaign. Interested residents may go to solarizethetriangle.com to learn more about the program and sign up in advance of the launch to be first in line for a free evaluation.

Triangle Expands Electric Vehicle Corridor

From the Newsletter of the Triangle J Council of Governments

n May of 2022, TJCOG/TCC staff submitted a nomination to the Federal Highway Administration for their sixth round of priority electric vehicle corridor designations, asking for the inclusion of US-70 from Hillsborough to Smithfield. Staff received several letters of support from our member governments along US-70. On July 7th, FHWA approved the nomination making US-70 the newest EV corridor in our region. While I-40 and I-85 were designated as EV corridors in previous rounds, there was a substantial gap present between Durham and Raleigh. US-70's designation fills this gap, gives more of our member governments access to a priority corridor, and connects our region in a way that makes it much more desirable for electric vehicle drivers.

The designation now gives the area along US-70 prioritization for funding under the upcoming National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Program. North Carolina expects to receive up to $109 million to build out EV infrastructure along its approved corridors. More information on the NEVI Program can be found here.

In addition to funding opportunities for new infrastructure, this designation will encourage EV drivers to stop along the corridor to charge their vehicles. This creates economic development opportunities for the communities along the corridor. It is expected that NCDOT will add signage to all NC EV corridors in the coming years, letting drivers know which roadways are reliable corridors for those using electric vehicles.

After Action Report for the May 21, 2022 FHA/GREEN SCENE Annual Spring 3-in-1 Community Recycling Event

A belated but very sincere THANK YOU to Gene, Maggie, Amy, Phil, Jon, Maarten, Mark, Marilyn, and Jim for their generous participation and support some weeks ago in the semi- annual Fearrington "3-in-1" FHA/GREEN SCENE COMMUNITY RECYCLING EVENT in The Gathering Place parking lot.  I was disappointed to have had to be in New York on May 21st,  but I was very confident that the team of "regulars" and a few "new faces" would successfully accomplish the goal.  And, from all indications,  my confidence turned out to be very justified.

In all, about 140 vehicles came to the event for one or more of the three services being offered.

The sprinkling of feedback that I have since received, along with the tangible results that I'm about to share, suggest that everyone's efforts where well received and much appreciated by the community.

We collected and shredded 3,540 pounds (1.77 tons) of paper, which was sent to a Georgia Pacific Corp. mill in Savannah, Georgia to be recycled as toilet paper.

According to the EPA, each ton of recycled paper fiber saves:

• 17 trees (thus, for example, we saved 29 trees helping to lower carbon emissions)
• 3.3 cubic yards of landfill space
• 360 gallons of water
• 60 pounds of pollutants
• 10,400 kilowatts of electricity
• The energy equivalent of 165 gallons of gasoline

The Chatham County Sheriff's office folks collected 14.4 pounds of no-longer-needed pharmaceuticals.  That's a lot of pills!  Pills that won't be flushed down the toilet to end up impacting fish and bird life in Jordan Lake, or end up in a landfill.

And, by checking -  and re-charging when necessary  -  dozens of community fire extinguishers, the folks from the United Fire and Safety Equipment Company have helped to make Fearrington a safer place to live.

The cost of some of the three vendors at the event was borne by a combination of a payment from our FHA annual budget, as well as a generous contribution from Amy Ghiloni and her ReMax United Real Estate office.

Once again, my sincere THANKS to each of you for your time and talents on a job well done!

3. FIRE EXTINGUISHER CHECK

Stopping Fires In Your Home With Smoke Alarms And Fire Extinguishers

Spring 2022 Information | Have you tested or used your fire extinguisher in the past year? United Fire and Safety Equipment Company will be at The Gathering Place for the annual recertification of your fire extinguishers at a cost of $9.95 by cash, check, or credit card. They will also sell new smoke alarms and new extinguishers. If your extinguisher can be refilled, the costs will be the same as last year: $20.50 (2.5 lbs), $27.50 (5 lbs), $36.50 (10 lbs), or $47.50 (20 lbs). The cost of a new fire extinguisher is $65.50 for 2.5 lb size. (A new extinguisher is more expensive this year because the steel canister is made in China and the cost of canisters has increased dramatically.)

Unique Wind Powered Dry Toilet Installation Does Not Require Water to Work

 

A sanitary installation which does not require either water, or evacuation to work. 

Not only the water is saved, but this system is completely isolated from the environment and can’t contaminate the groundwater. 

The excrements are dried up in the conveyor and the urine as well as the humidity evaporate into the atmosphere. The system was designed to handle normal amounts of urine. In fact it assists with the removal of odors due to the additional ventilation it causes because of evaporation. The excrements dry by being transformed into a kind of compost and represent between 5 and 10 % of their initial mass. If more voluminous objects such as cans of drink, layers or other objects are accidentally dropped into the tank, the system will not be blocked; nonetheless, it is recommended that such objects not be added to the system.

The system is manufactured in the Collectivity of St. Martin in the French West Indies and uses a natural biological process to transform the waste into a kind of dehydrated and odourless compost. For more information, see the schematic just below and visit the product website (or click on the banner above).

A SunwinD Eco San toilet is housed inside this attractive beachfront tropical shack at a popular public beach located in a beautiful nature park on Pinel Island just offshore from the Island Collectivity of St. Martin.

Recycle Your Empty Aluminum Cans for a Good Cause

For several years, the North Chatham Volunteer Fire Department Station No.1 (located at 45 Morris Road just across 15-501 from Village Way) has been accepting donations of empty used aluminum cans, which they sell for recycling. The proceeds go to a fund to buy child car seats for needy families in Chatham County. 

Photo and story suggestion by Fran DiGiano

To support this worthy recycling program be sure to bring ONLY ALUMINUM CANS!  

To donate, drive around the left side of the fire station to the back of the building, where you can then drop your empty aluminum cans into the top of the large wire cage sitting on the small trailer parked there. 

Your thoughtful recycling donations will be sure to help families in the County who cannot afford to purchase car seats for their children without this form of support.
