Next Meeting: Feb-3-2022, Alexia Retallack - Pioneer Energy
Pioneer Community Energy is now the default energy provider for our county, which means customers will be automatically enrolled to ensure everyone has fair and equal access to Pioneer benefits - and then customers choose to allow the enrollment or remain with PG&E.  What does Pioneer do for its customers?  Our community?  Pioneer Community Program Specialist II Alexia Retallack will speak about this especially important topic as well as discuss choices for our future energy providers.
 
Alexia Retallack has been with Pioneer Community Energy since its inception in 2017. She brings extensive communications, regulatory, and customer service experience. In her spare time, she supports a number of non-profits in her community and serves as a Placer County Fish and Game Commissioner for District 5.
Last Meeting: Jan-27-2022,  Kristina Noble: El Dorado Disposal's Recycling Guidelines 
Kristina Noble is an Education and Outreach Coordinator for El Dorado Disposal. She has been with the company for 4.5 years and working with the Sustainability Department for about 1.5 years. Prior to working with El Dorado Disposal (EDD), Kristina was an Early Childhood Educator. Teaching comes second nature to her; it makes her giddy to teach someone the proper way to recycle or to speak on the process of food waste decomposition.
 
Kristina gave us clear guidance on what can be recycled through EDD in the areas of paper and cardboard items; metal items; plastic bottles, tubs and jugs; and glass jars and bottles.  She also provided a list of non-recyclable items -- styrofoam; plastic bags and plastic film; paper milk cartons; shredded paper; and animal feed bags -- and the reasons why they can't be recycled.  She also showed us many illustrations of products that can be made from recycled material.
 
Kristina told us of two good options for recycling or reusing organic waste.  The best is composting renewable resources to provide nutrients to plants.  This is DIY in your yard without EDD involvement.  The other way is related to SB 1383, a state mandate that went into effect at the start of this year.  This coming summer, El Dorado Disposal will allow residents to place food waste in their yard waste container, to divert organic material away from the landfill.
 
The members asked many, many questions that Kristina and her boss Jeff England happily answered.  Jeff also told us about the purpose of the new building construction at the Material Recovery Facility at Throwita Way in Diamond Springs. Members thought this talk provided a useful and timely education for us to be better recyclers and re-users.  Both Club Members and Kristina were in favor of this type of talk becoming an annual event for our club.
