31] – On Tues., Jan. 28 from 1 to 2 PM, get to

Confused about what can or can’t go into your recycle bin? Come learn best
practices from a Baltimore County Material Recovery Facility (MRF) speaker.
Learn what Baltimore County Single Stream Recycling is all about, learn how to

32] – On Tues., Jan. 28 from 2 to 4 PM, catch The
Case for Extending New START at the National Press Club, 529 14th Street NW,
13th Floor, WDC 20045. On February 5, 2021, the New Strategic Arms
Reduction Treaty (New START) will expire unless the U.S. and Russian presidents
choose to extend it by up to five years. This treaty verifiably limits U.S. and
Russian strategic nuclear arsenals to 1,550 deployed warheads, 700 deployed
missiles and heavy bombers, and 800 deployed and non-deployed missile launchers
and bombers. Since February 2018, the United States and Russia have met and
maintained their obligations under the treaty. Although Russia has indicated
its support for a clean, unconditional extension, the Trump administration has
yet to officially decide on the future of the treaty. Administration officials
have said President Trump is seeking a “new era of arms control” that includes
more types of Russian weapons as well as China.
If New START expires without an extension or replacement, there
will be no legally binding constraints on the world's two largest nuclear
arsenals for the first time in half a century. The treaty’s rigorous monitoring
and verification regime, which includes on-site inspections and the exchange of
thousands of notifications, would also disappear. Speakers will outline the
case for extending New START and address frequently asked questions about the
treaty and the future of arms control. Check out https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeA9Mu8jfNmcV3a-deHehw27TeCDhfzDXINKMr6Rn8OCppxFA/viewform.

On Tues., Jan. 28 from 5 to 6:30 PM, TUESDAY, catch
The Future of Progressive Foreign Policy: 2020 and Beyond, featuring Kate
Kizer, Policy Director, Win without War; Adam Mount, Senior Fellow and
Director of the Defense Posture Project, Federation of American
Scientists; Dan Nexon, Associate Professor, Georgetown
University; Loren DeJonge Schulman, Deputy Director of Studies and the
Leon E. Panetta Senior Fellow at the Center for a New American
Security; Mena Ayazi, Manager for Policy and Communications at Alliance
for Peacebuilding; and moderated by Trevor Thrall, Senior Fellow, Cato
Institute. It will take place at the Cato Institute Hayek Auditorium, 1000
Massachusetts Ave. NW, WDC 20001-5403. Even before Donald Trump’s
election, foreign policy thinkers were beginning to realize that American grand
strategy had to change. After more than 15 years of war in Afghanistan and
the Middle East, Americans’ enthusiasm for foreign adventures had expired and
many believed that public support for traditional American leadership of the
liberal international order had expired along with it. The big question was:
What would come next? During the third year of the Trump administration,
the 2020 Democratic candidates have offered a range of arguments about
what’s wrong with U.S. foreign policy today and where it should be headed. Some
of these hew fairly close to the traditional, pre‐Trump approach, while others
represent more significant departures from the status quo. Come hear
a panel of distinguished experts discuss the state of the foreign policy
debate within the Democratic Party and the future of progressive foreign
policy. Go to https://www.cato.org/events/future-progressive-foreign-policy-2020-beyond.

Antidote to Climate Depression: How to Solve Climate by 2030, hosted by the
Bard Center for Environmental Policy and Bard MBA in Sustainability
at the REI Co-op, 201 M Street, WDC 20002. Can we really stop climate
change soon? Yes. Low-cost solar plus low-cost battery storage are fast
emerging as "the dominant backbone" of a future global energy
economy. Join an evening of conversation on the Solar Dominance Hypothesis: the
idea that the 2020’s highly will experience a massive global market disruption
in energy, so that within ten years 50% or more of power will be produced from
solar plus storage. Combined with Green New Deal type policies to ensures
justice in the transition, this could open the road to “solve climate”—the
energy side—over the next decade. Hear from Hunter Lovins, a founding
professor at the Bard MBA program and the President and Founder of Natural
Capitalism Solutions (NCS), a non-profit formed in 2002 in Longmont, CO.
