Jim Bays Presents: Diving Deep into the Soul of Our City: How Volunteers are Returning Nature to Our Urban Lake Shorelines
St Petersburg residents are fortunate to have many lake parks in the city! We relax, walk, bird, picnic, run – you name it – around them every week. His non-profit company, Stewards of Our Urban Lake (SoUL), thinks that the lakes are better than that – they see them as wonderful opportunities to bring more nature back into the City. With the help of volunteers over the years, they’ve shaped and revegetated the shorelines to be beneficial for wildlife that are easy on the eye and that require less maintenance by the City. Along the way, they’ve found community leaders who’ve helped drive these improvements. As President of SoUL, and as a retired ecologist, he will dive deep into the details on how they are doing this, and the progress they’ve made over the years.

Jasmine Scott Presents: No Such Place As “Away:” The Story of Your Garbage
Have you ever wondered where a garbage truck takes your trash? Yeah, didn’t think so! Jasmine, a garbage guru, will tell you everything you never wanted to know about how Pinellas County manages over one million tons of garbage at the Waste-to-Energy facility and one-and-only landfill at the Solid Waste Disposal Complex in St. Petersburg. You will walk away having discovered the “working face” of a landfill, learned that a ton weighs about the same as 5,500 Nerd Nite t-shirts, (who knew trash could weigh so much?), and unraveled the mystery of a “tipping floor.” She promises you’ll never look at your trash can in the same way again!
