Attachment 3 <br />ORANGE COUNTY <br />DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT, AGRICULTURE, <br />PARKS AND RECREATION <br />MEMORANDUM <br />To: Commission for the Environment <br />From: Rich Shaw <br />Date: January S, 2015 <br />Subject: Public Outreach and the State of the Environment Report 2014 <br />The State of the Environment report 2014 includes information on a variety of important topics <br />of interest to the residents of Orange County. Conveying that information to people (including <br />elected officials) may require a combination of approaches as was suggested by Jan Sassaman <br />and others. <br />The information on various topics (such as fracking, invasive species, energy conservation, etc.) <br />could be reformatted for posting on the DEAPR webpage, a proposed new DEAPR electronic <br />newsletter, newspaper articles, and handouts for street fairs /exhibits, etc. <br />One idea for the upcoming meeting is for each committee to choose two topics from the SOE <br />report and for CFE members to work with the Staff on reformatting the information for <br />presentation in another media. In some cases, the information may need to be revised or <br />condensed. In some cases, we may need to improve the graphics or find better photographs. <br />I think this effort could result in a much better way of sharing information from the SOE report <br />and from the CFE in general. <br />Environment, Agriculture, Parks and Recreation <br />PO Box 8181 /306 -A Revere Road <br />Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br />(919) 245 -2510 <br />
