help people learn about local events

Do you have a local farmers market near you that you love?

My ChangeEverything challenge for you this week:

Share a reason why you love farmers markets so that people who do not yet frequent them, might be inspired to check one or two out.

Haven't you always wanted to go to the landflll for the day?

On Wednesday, April 4th, 2007, from 7:00 – 9:00 pm, at the Vancouver Museum, Terry Tamminen, California Governor Schwarzenegger's environmental advisor, will be conducting a reading and discussion on his newest book, ‘Lives Per Gallon: The True Cost of Our Oil Addiction’.

Terry Tamminen was previously the head of the California Environmental Protection Agency, and a former state cabinet secretary. His book, "Lives Per Gallon: The True Cost of Our Oil Addiction" is an excellent read that offers a first hand, passionate, fact-packed overview of the undeniable evidence against Big Oil while calling for new energy policies to shift away from fossil fuel dependency and promote conservation.

Highlighted with numerous statistics, each chapter examines our fossil fuel dependency in real cost -- not just through dollars and cents, but in compromised health resulting from exposure to toxic air pollution, environmental degradation, social injustice, and instability provoked by the pursuit of oil.

Although this is a free event, seating is limited, so please contact Kristi Rivait to RSVP and for further information.
