Young boys are making headlines these days, and the reasons aren't that positive. Fewer boys are enrolling in college, many are struggling with isolation and addiction, and there are problematic messages out there telling boys to be tough and "suck it up". What is the manosphere, and how do parents differentiate between positive and negative online spaces? What impact may the world have on our sons as they move through adolescence? Join Dad Guild and gender expert Kate Mangino for this town hall-style discussion.

On Wednesday, February 11 at 7:00 pm the League of Women Voters of Vermont (LWVVT) presents a discussion by Thomas Tai, Esq., staff attorney at the LWV of the United States. In this role, he provides legal research and litigation support for natonal League advocacy and litigation. He will discuss Gerrymandering, and how partisan redistricting can result in the party choosing voters rather than voters choosing candidates.

Who should be responsible for managing waste? The consumer, the government, or the companies that make the products? Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) reimagines the answer to that question by pushing producers to share the responsibility for end-of-life product management, ultimately encouraging products to be made with sustainability in mind.
In this webinar, Jen Holliday, CSWD’s Director of Public Policy & Communications, will break down Vermont’s EPR landscape — from the basics of what EPR is to how EPR is changing Vermont’s waste future.
Whether you’ve never heard of EPR before or you’re an EPR enthusiast, this webinar will help you understand how this policy could change recycling and waste management across the state.
