NW & Cascadia Eco Calendar - June 4th-June 11th

[Jocelyn Campbell]

Good day to you,

 

Whew! I took a bit of break and boy, did the events pile up! I’m leaping in to catch up, so here, finally, is the next ‘weekly’ announcement.

 

Have you been hearing about your water footprint lately? Check out this one minute water use calculator—it truly takes just a minute. The numbers there confirm what my friend has been telling me all along: hand-washing dishes saves water and energy! In fact, by hand-washing my dishes, and line-drying most of our clothes, I’ve saved 40% on my power bill. That works for me (and my frugal accounting nature)!

 

Here’s a sampling of this week’s events – go to the Seattle and Cascadia Eco Workshops Calendar for the full story.

 

• June 4^th (Thu.) – Beavers! Movie Night, Everett, WA, at the Northwest Stream Center
• June 5^th (Fri.) – Village Building Convergence, Portland, OR, a model event of sustainable community practices
• June 5^th (Fri.) – Climate Change and Architectural Response, Eugene, OR, AIA seminar with CE credits available
• June 6^th (Sat.) – Bastyr University’s 11^th Annual Herb & Food Fair, Kenmore, WA, walk the foot reflexology path! (PLUS at least 10 more events this date)
• June 8^th (Mon.) – Organic Animal Husbandry, Winthrop, WA, presented by Tilth Producers and WSU Small Farms
• June 10^th – Rain Gardens, Rain Barrels & Your Backyard, Edmonds, WA, store and reuse rain water
• June 13^th (or the 6^th, 20^th or 27^th, too) (Sat.) – West Duwamish Green Belt Forest Ecology Workshop and Work Party, Seattle, WA, free refreshments!

 

Looking ahead:

·        June 20^th-21^st (Sat. & Sun.) – Mountains to Sound Greenway kick off weekend along the I-90 corridor. These celebration, wilderness awareness and community building opportunities aren’t on my calendar (not quite hands-on, educational events) but definitely worth mentioning.

·        June 24^th (Wed.) – Building Science Site Testing, Seattle, WA, another great learning opportunity from the NW EcoBuilding Guild.

·        June 29^th (Mon.) - Sustainable Living in Community: Ecovillages, Transition Towns, & More, Maltby, WA, potluck and slideshow by internationally-recognized intentional community expert and author, Diana Leafe Christian.

·        July 6^th (Sat.) – 6^th Annual Shoreline SolarFest, Shoreline, WA – the largest renewable energy event in the Puget Sound area!

 

Keep an eye out at the permies forums for a Diana Leafe Christian book giveaway coming soon! Plus, the sustainability discussions and knowledge on these forums is pretty amazing. Take a peek.

Choose a shade of green. Then learn and enjoy. It’s that simple.
