QC Close-Up Events

Become a member and join conversations about the value of quiet and the impacts of noise on public health and the environment. QC members have a front row seat in discussions with leading experts on noise. A one-hour Zoom format includes a presentation by a special guest and ample time for Q&A. Past QC Close-Up topics include: 

Noise and Cardiac Health with QC Scientific Advisory Council member Dr. Michael Osborne, a Massachusetts General Hospital cardiologist and Harvard Medical School professor, who shared research linking chronic noise to stress, inflammation, and heart disease.

An Introduction to Noise and the Law with QC Legal Advisory Chair Rick Reibstein, JD, who discussed existing laws at the federal, state, and local levels relevant to noise and the challenges of implementation and enforcement, and steps citizens can take before or even while initiating a lawsuit. 

A Pathway to Quieter, Healthier Land Care with QC collaborator Dan Mabe, American Green Zone Alliance (AGZA) President and CEO, and special guest Dan Brotman, Glendale, CA, former mayor and city council member. Members learned about the AGZA approach and how Glendale became the largest city in the nation to earn an AGZA Certified Green Zone designation by converting all handheld landscape maintenance equipment to cleaner, quieter electric.

From Quiet Florida to a nationwide Quiet Streets program with QC Quiet Streets Chair Mary Tatigian and Lt. Dave Breuning from the Collier County Sheriff’s office, who shared how action to address noise from modified mufflers in Florida has spurred a movement.
