Shop Placer | Placer County, CA
Placer County is home to roughly 13,000 businesses. It is estimated that between 80-90% of these are considered small businesses.

 How long has the Shop Local program been around?

This is our fourth year sharing the Shop Placer campaign through our local chambers of commerce and cities. It began during the height of the pandemic to increase sales at the local level and support any small business going through hardship.

 How does shopping locally keep people employed?

According to the U.S. Small Business Association and the U.S. Department of Labor, small businesses employ 77 million Americans and accounted for 65% of all new jobs over the past 17 years.Local businesses are also more likely to support other local businesses such as banks, service providers and nearby farms. That means those other small businesses generate revenue from local purchases and can keep their own employees on their staff. 

 How do small business owners help the community?

Beyond their commitment to serving the community and their support for other local businesses, research has shown that 91% of local business owners contribute to local schools, nonprofits and community groups, by volunteering and making donations.

 Does shopping locally help the environment?

Yes. Shopping locally can help save energy and resources by reducing carbon emission through less fuel for transportation and less packaging. The Environmental Protection Agency has reported that clusters of small businesses in a walkable area, or near residential areas, may reduce car usage and encourage biking and walking for shoppers. Areas of the city designed for walking and outdoor shopping help reduce emissions from vehicles, improving air quality. As for the differences in online shopping, many carbon-creating practices can be reduced when shopping locally—anything from less air transportation and ground transportation for delivery to reduced packaging helps reduce a shoppers’ carbon footprint.

 What other benefits occur from shopping locally?

For every $100 you spend at local businesses, $68 will stay in the community.*Independent retailers return more than three times as much money per dollar of sales to the community in which they operate than chain competitors.* Independent restaurants return more than two times as much money per dollar of sales than national restaurant chains.** According to the U.S. Small Business Association and the U.S. Department of Labor

Sargent Ponds Wild Forest - NYSDEC
Trappers can hope to find black bear, deer, raccoon, marten, fisher, weasels, mink, river otter, striped skunk, coyote, red fox, gray fox, woodchuck, bobcat, beaver, opossum, muskrat, porcupine, Eastern cottontail, snowshoe hare and ruffed grouse.

 Snowmobiling
 

General information on snowmobiling includes how-to and safety tips and links to rules and regulations.
This activity is very popular in the neighboring community of Indian Lake. The frozen water surface of Blue Mountain Lake is utilized by some snowmobilers for riding and to access ice fishing shanties. A snowmobile trail developed in the nearby Blue Mountain Wild Forest provides a snowmobile connection between the two communities. Even though the marked DEC trail currently ends at the DOT parking area, snowmobilers can legally ride into the hamlet of Blue Mountain Lake by riding the outside scraper banks of the State highway.
While there was a snowmobile trail that led to Upper Sargent Pond for a short period of time, permission was revoked for snowmobiling over the private land section.
A designated snowmobile corridor trail (Corridor Trail 8B) connects Raquette Lake to Long Lake through the center of the property via North Point Road.
DEC is drafting a new unit management plan for the wild forest that would make alterations to the snowmobile trail system to get the trails off the lakes and roads as much as feasible.

 Cross-Country Skiing
 

General information on cross-country skiing includes how-to and safety tips and links to rules and regulations.
Cross-country skiing is permitted on all hiking trails. No trails are specifically marked as cross-country ski trails within the area. Occasional skiing activity can occur on the marked hiking trails or on the frozen water surface of Blue Mountain Lake.

 Snowshoeing
 

General information on snowshoeing includes how-to and safety tips and links to rules and regulations.
Snowshoeing is permitted on all hiking trails. No trails are specifically marked as cross-country ski trails within the area. Occasional skiing activity can occur on the marked hiking trails or on the frozen water surface of Blue Mountain Lake.

Vault Plate | Spacecraft – NASA's Europa Clipper
The plate, made of tantalum metal about 1 millimeter thick and about 7 by 11 inches (18 by 28 centimeters), is part of the structure that will protect Europa Clipper’s electronics from Jupiter’s harmful radiation. 
Water connects all life as we know it, and all human cultures. The outward-facing side of the vault plate features "Water Words" — a visual representation of the word for water in 103 spoken languages, extending from a central symbol that represents the sign for water in American Sign Language. Professional linguists helped to collect a diverse and inclusive sampling of human language families from across the globe. Audio recordings of these words are engraved on the vault plate as waveforms – visual representations of each sound. The circular symbol representing the sign for water in American Sign Language was created using a technique in image processing and data compression, called a Fourier transform.
Waveform Generator
Waveform Generator
Exploration is something we do together, something that connects us all as we head out into the cosmic sea. The Waveform Generator lets you experience the word "water" in over 100 spoken languages as well as American Sign Language. Listen, create your waveform graphic, and share it to join our celebration of Earth's and Europa's interconnected stories.

Listen & Create: Hear and view "water" in over 100 languages and generate a waveform graphic for the language of your choice.

Share Your Graphic: Share the waveform you selected on social media and let us know why you chose it. What does exploration and our shared connection to water mean to you? 

Tag & Hashtag: Use @EuropaClipper and #GoEuropaClipper to let us see and share your inspiring contributions.

How were the languages selected? 
NASA worked with a group of professional linguists to identify a set of languages from a broad range of language families to be engraved in the limited space available on the Europa Clipper vault plate. The goal was to identify a diverse set of language families to represent humanity on a global scale.

 October 18, 2019 - Federal action plan focused on improving water prediction for Western U.S.
In the Western United States, meeting water demands with available water supplies is becoming increasingly complex. Knowing where, when, and how much precipitation in a particular valley, mountain, lake, or river will become available for use to the people living there promotes efficiency as water managers will be able to more effectively prepare and meet the various water users’ needs and obligations.

responsible stewardship of natural resources. The bureau assists in protecting outdoor resources such as water and land; plants and 
 animals; the environmental health and safety of patrons and employees; and in ensuring compliance with environmental laws and 
 regulations.
With more than 225 diverse properties across the state, the agency offers visitors a variety of campgrounds, swimming 
 beaches, golf courses, swimming pools, nature centers and more than 1400 miles of trails. Our properties are also home to a 
 variety of plant and animal life that occur naturally in these areas help to clean and protect our environment. Approximately 90% of 
 state parks' property remain natural, with natural lakes, streams, rivers, ocean beaches and dunes, as well as scenic waterfalls, 
 gorges, springs and bluffs. Learn more about how biodiversity brings important 
 environmental services to our parks and communities.
Our state parks and historic sites are also hosts to scenic viewsheds, geologic features and both common and rare flora and 
 fauna. Over 100 species of native mammals, tens of thousands of species of insects, hundreds of fish species, 70 species of 
 amphibians and more than 300 species of birds find a home in New York. To learn more about the abundance of natural resources 
 to be found at our parks, be sure to visit one of our nature centers.
Responsible stewardship strives for a balance between public use and protection of all resources. In this effort, the agency 
 assures the continuation and enhancement of common and rare species, as well as natural communities, for present and future 
 generations to enjoy.
