Bike and Walk for Climate Change Action!
Saturday, October 24, 2009
10 am to noon
Join 350 families on the Chehalis-Western Trail biking and walking as a public witness for climate change action in International Climate Change Action Day. Our October 24th event in Thurston County is one of hundreds across this country and the world – our call for governmental leaders to address the global climate crisis by adopting carbon dioxide emission limits of 350 parts per million, the level scientists have identified as the safe upper limit for CO2 in Earth’s atmosphere.
Pump up your bike tires or lace up your sneakers and be one of 350 families on the Chehalis-Western Trail at 10 am. Participants are urged to come from all directions to the trail – south, north, east and west – riding from your homes, or parking lots near the trail’s many entry points. Our goal is to minimize car traffic and parking at any one point.
Natalie Pyrooz will be presenting her master's thesis Connecting Living and Learning about Sustainability: Installing Edible Forest Gardens in Housing at the Evergreen State College. Edible forest gardens offer a sustainable approach to landscape
interaction, as they are based on ecological principles while
concurrently producing food. This case study focuses on the edible forest garden installation that took place last spring next to the HCC, and involved the participation of a bunch of folks on campus, including past Sustainability House residents. Wild dandelion and mint tea will be served!
