SUMMARY:Town Talk: Mining Plastic-Changing the Narrative from Waste to Resource
DESCRIPTION:Plastic waste is piling up\, with projections estimating 25 billion tons by 2050—most of it ending up in landfills or the environment. Traditional mechanical recycling falls short\, with only a tiny fraction of plastics truly recycled into similar products. This Town Talk challenges us to rethink plastic not as waste\, but as a valuable resource. Learn how chemists are working to “mine” used plastics for their chemical and energy potential\, turning trash into tools for a more sustainable future. \nThis Town Talk will be presented by Michael McGuirk\, Associate Professor of Chemistry at Colorado School of Mines.  \nTown Talks will be held on Tuesdays at the Telluride Conference Center in Mountain Village June 3 to August 12 (with the exception of July 1). Doors open at 6 pm and the program starts at 6:30 pm. Free and open to the public. \nThanks to our title sponsor Alpine Bank and Telluride Mountain Village Owner’s Association.

SUMMARY:Town Talk: Life in Color
DESCRIPTION:Natalie Shustova\, University of South Carolina \n  \nPhotochromic materials are quietly woven into the fabric of our daily lives\, yet they are also driving some of the most exciting frontiers in science and technology. One familiar example is transition lenses for glasses which darken in sunlight and return to clear indoors\, offering both UV protection and visual comfort. These lenses illustrate a core strength of photochromic materials: their ability to reversibly switch between states in response to external stimuli such as light\, heat\, or pressure. What makes these transformations truly powerful is their speed and reversibility\, features that have inspired innovations far beyond eyewear. For instance\, window coatings that darken when exposed to high-intensity sunlight not only drastically reduce the costs associated with air conditioning\, but newer technology can also convert the absorbed sunlight into electricity\, offering a sustainable and cost-effective approach to powering our homes and offices.  \nOngoing research in photochromic materials is trying to bring the same concept of rapid and reversible switching between states to the next level by controlling important material properties outside of just color\, including conductivity\, magnetism\, catalytic activity\, and the ability to harvest solar energy. Thus\, some materials can even mimic natural photosynthesis by capturing solar energy and directing it through engineered pathways to the desired targets. Overall\, from color-changing fashion and smart surfaces to molecular computing\, on-demand drug delivery\, and encryption technologies\, photochromic materials are poised to revolutionize how we interact with the world around us. Learn more in this Telluride Inside & Out article.  \nTown Talks will be held on Tuesdays at the Telluride Conference Center in Mountain Village June 3 to August 12 (with the exception of July 1). Doors open at 6 pm and the program starts at 6:30 pm. Free and open to the public. \nThanks to our title sponsor Alpine Bank and Telluride Mountain Village Owner’s Association.

SUMMARY:Afternoon at the Movies! The Ring
DESCRIPTION:Presented by the Telluride Jewish Community \nJoin us for the first film in our three-part summer series—open to all! \nThe Ring is a comedy that explores love\, loss\, and rediscovery within an Israeli family. The film has earned critical acclaim and festival recognition\, including a nomination for Best Supporting Actress at the 2024 Ophir Awards. This acclaimed film has been featured at the Paris Israeli Film Festival\, the Seret Festival in London and Amsterdam\, the Toronto Jewish Film Festival and numerous other festivals across North America. \nDoors Open: 3:30 PM. Film Screening: 4:00 PM \nTickets are $18 in Advance or $22 at the Door. Or if you’re under 25\, tickets are just $9. Purchase tickets HERE \nWine\, candy and refreshments will be available. Security provided. Sponsored by the Telluride Jewish Community. A perfect opportunity to take a break from the hot sun or rain for a couple of hours and still make it back to the bluegrass festival in time for Zach Top and of course Alison Krauss. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Town Talk: The Good\, The Bad and The Possible
DESCRIPTION:Josh Schaidle \nTo enable secure\, resilient\, and domestic supply chains\, Dr. Josh Schaidle and his colleagues of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in Golden\, Colorado are pursuing innovative routes to diversify the feedstocks utilized in production of the fuels\, chemicals\, and materials that we use in our everyday lives. He will discuss the value proposition for generating fuels and products from two above-ground carbon sources: waste CO2 from the air and industrial sites and biomass resources\, such as agricultural and forest residues. He also addresses the key challenges of making this a reality\, namely feedstock complexity and energy intensity\, and offers insight into new technological advancements to help improve affordability. \nTown Talks will be held on Tuesdays at the Telluride Conference Center in Mountain Village June 3 to August 12 (with the exception of July 1). Doors open at 6 pm and the program starts at 6:30 pm. Free and open to the public. \nThanks to our title sponsor Alpine Bank and Telluride Mountain Village Owner’s Association.
