GEOG 300
Make-up Work/Extra Credit
--Make-up Work/Extra credit this term will usually consist of
attending presentations related to Environmental and/or sustainability issues, as well as some volunteer work I will identify
appropriate options as I become aware of them. If you know of something coming up, let me know and I will consider including it.
Unless otherwise noted, each Makeup Work/Extra Credit option is worth 10 points. The options are available to anyone. There is a class limit of 40 extra
credit points (excluding points for reusing paper for assignments). To receive the extra credit points, you must follow the instructions
noted with each one.
Also, all volunteer work is on a first come/first served basis. There are no guarantees that volunteer opportunities are available.
Contact the person noted.
For most presentations, you must have your notes signed by the responsible person/event
organizer at end of the presentation, and turned into Steve Cook OR Drew Bennett for 3PM MWF Section.
The speaker's name, topic, time, and place of the presentation must be clearly written on the notes. It is also necessary to have a
signature for volunteer work, indicating the number of hours you worked. Turn ALL MU/EC work into Steve Cook or Drew Bennett for 3PM MWF Section directly--it is best to just
give it to us in lecture.
All Extra Credit write-ups must be turned in during lecture within ten days of the event. Everything for credit in Geog 300 MUST have:
Your Name; TA Name; Recitation Time and Date and Title of Event or it will not be recorded
We will accept no Extra Credit write-ups after 5:00 PM Friday December 2. Steve Cook has an envelope on his office door, 140 WLKN. Don't put stuff in my mailbox in the CEOAS admin building, I don't check it often. Don't put stuff into TA mailboxes, it'll get lost.

Corvallis Farmer's Market
Get some good food, both fresh and locally processed. Hear some good music from local bands and talent, see lots of people, dogs, bicycles, kids. It is more like a social event than a sales event . . . except for the vendors, they make their living here. Treat them nice.
To get credit, visit five vendors, ask each some questions about their farms (they are expecting you and love to talk about their farms and farming). Are they organic? Why or why not? Do they sell at other markets? Is this their living, or a side activity? Or, whatever questions you wish. Please don't get in the way of customers. And avoid the Alsea Goat Cheese lady (the old woman, not the young one), she doesn't like Geog 300 students.
This activity "pays" 15 points. Visit five booths, get a signature at each one, ask some questions, take some notes, do a 250 word write-up.

Jammin' for the Hungry
Volunteers meet weekly to make jam for local food banks.
Jammin' for the Hungry provides an extra "treat" to food bank customers to go with the USDA peanut butter provided. Each week, we make jams and jellies for Corvallis-area food banks in our commercial kitchen. We make both low-sugar and sugar free jams – a healthy alternative to traditional sugar-laden fruit spreads. Fruit and all ingredients are provided by local donations and from Linn Benton Food Share. Volunteers from the church, the larger Corvallis community and from an OSU class on sustainability make this possible. Since September 2008, we have made over 9500 jars of jams and jellies.
We meet most Monday nights between 5 and 8 in the FUMC Community Center Kitchen on the corner of 12th and Jackson in Corvallis. No experience necessary and volunteers get free samples and make new friends! Email saragpower@gmail.com to check that we are not on vacation the night you want to come.
Sara has set up a site for first time volunteers to "Jammin' for the Hungry." Click Here to sign up for a date. NOTE. Anyone who signs up and doesn't show up will receive 20 NEGATIVE EC points (-20 with a maximum possible of 20 instead of 40)
This activity "pays" 10 points/hour. Typically it lasts a couple of hours--seldom the full 2.5 hours advertised. Get a signature from Sara including time worked, and do 250 word write-up of the experience.

Community Food Land Trust: A Launch Event
According to the USDA’s 2012 Agriculture Census, Oregon farm land has decreased by 98,000 acres since 2007 and nearly 1.5 million since 1982. Meanwhile, in the past ten years, there are 20% fewer new farmers nationally. Using an innovative approach, Ten Rivers Food Web’s Community Food Land Trust will acquire and hold food land in perpetuity within a public benefit land trust. This provides new farmers affordable access to food production land and a direct means for the community to support and enhance a durable local food system. One local farmer nearing retirement said, “This is an idea whose time has come.”
Join us on Thursday evening to learn more about this exciting and innovative approach to creating an economically and environmentally sustainable local food system.

We make both low-sugar and sugar free jams – a healthy alternative to traditional sugar-laden fruit spreads. Fruit and all ingredients are provided by local donations and from Linn Benton Food Share. Volunteers from the church, the larger Corvallis community and from an OSU class on sustainability make this possible. Since September 2008, we have made over 9500 jars of jams and jellies.
We meet most Monday nights between 5 and 8 in the FUMC Community Center Kitchen on the corner of 12th and Jackson in Corvallis. No experience necessary and volunteers get free samples and make new friends! Email saragpower@gmail.com to check that we are not on vacation the night you want to come.

Know Your Climate
The “Know Your Climate” workshops are going to be engaging and discussion-based, addressing basic scientific processes but focusing mostly on the social and economic impacts of climate change. Attendees will watch clarifying videos, do hands-on projects, and have a chance to voice their views on the matters of climate change while gaining an understanding of how global perspectives on the issue vary. The curriculum will attempt to offer unbiased, factual interpretations of the current state of the climate. Students will also learn how to effectively communicate about climate change, and get connected to useful resources. There will be two workshops, with the second one building onto the first, so it is highly recommended that students attend both. However, if they are only able to attend one that is definitely better than nothing! Dinner will be provided both nights (Café Yumm and American Dream), and attendees will have the chance to win a solar phone charger and a hiking backpack with a $140 value.
