June 2 - 6
The MAEOE "Weekly Roundup" is back in action after a long hiatus while we executed our Green Schools Program and Youth Summit planning. To recap, MAEOE welcomed 59 new schools into our Maryland Green Schools Program while retaining 76 schools through our re-certification process. These schools displayed some pretty innovative projects and a true commitment to developing students with strong environmental ethics. Here is a quick summary of the 2014 Green Schools applications by the numbers:
40,603: square
feet of green roofs installed
324: storm drains painted
109,044: square feet of rain gardens installed
1,248,178: pounds of paper recycled

The 5th Annual Maryland Green Schools Youth Summit went off without a hitch last Friday, May 30th at Sandy Point State Park. The park was packed with students and teachers eager to learn more about lessening their school's environmental impact. The 40+ learning stations included everything from animal encounters to an energy audit demonstration. The enthusiasm from schools that were being honored for their achievements in this year's Maryland Green Schools Program illustrated that developina generation of environmentally literate earth stewards can make a significant impact in the fight against environmental degradation.
To top it all off, Governor Martin O'Malley brought down the house when he whipped out a guitar and started jamming. O'Malley discussed a new "Restore Your Schoolshed" initiative that encourages students and teachers alike to clean up streams and creeks in proximity to their schools.
Thanks to everyone who helped with both programs, we would not be able to pull off these events without our fantastic board members and dedicated volunteers.
Without further ado, let's hop into some professional development and job opportunities.

Finding Cost Effective Solutions to Reduce Polluted Runoff
- Presenters: Dave Hirschman, Center for Watershed Protection
- Adrienne Kotula, James River Association
The James River Association partnered with the Center for Watershed Protection to identify the most cost effective practices that localities can implement to achieve the necessary polluted runoff reductions to reach local water quality goals. We will discuss finding cost-effective stormwater retrofits in urban or agricultural landscapes. In addition, Dave will provide an update on the Center's Clean Water Optimization Tool for the Eastern Shore, MD. This tool will provide more flexible stormwater management, contains updated cost information, allows user inputs, and provides an optimization step for planning purposes.
Understanding Storytelling: The What, Why, How and When of Telling True Stories that Support your Organization’s Goals and Mission
- Presenter: Vijai Nathan, Speakeasy DC
Storytelling has become so popular among business people, activists, fundraisers, change-makers, and thought leaders for this very reason: because relating to other people is how, in the end, you make a difference. In this interactive session, participants gain an understanding of the what, why, how, and when of storytelling: What are the qualities of a well-told story? Why are stories effective? How do you identify story material? Through lecture and demonstration, participants will leave with an understanding of narrative structure, the elements of a well-told story, and how to find story-source material from their own experiences.

Pulling members from the audience, we will show how a citizen can use version 2.0 of Water Reporter to document pollution, share their report to social media outlets, automatically notify Waterkeepers or state agencies, and ensure the incident is remediated all with a few taps on their smartphone. Following the demonstration our team will share some insight on ways to effectively leverage open-source technologies to catalyze restoration outcomes. Our goal is to demonstrate how collaboration between environmental stakeholders and programmers can result in outcome oriented applications that create transparency, engages citizens, and expedites bay restoration.

- Darryl Haddock, West Atlanta Watershed Alliance
- Mark Magana, Green Latinos
The Choose Clean Water Coalition and our members struggle to connect with diverse groups and with diverse members of our communities. While we all recognize the importance of reaching new audiences, most of us have little idea of how to start. Vernice Miller-Travis, Mark Magana and Darryl Haddock will begin a conversation with attendees to share their insights of successes and failures “traditional green groups” in partnering with diverse community groups. Attendees will then break into workgroups with our Thought Leaders to develop plans for how individual Coalition members and the Coalition as a whole can begin building effective, long-term partnerships with diverse communities and the groups that already represent them.
