Sustainability LIVE: "Delicious Planet-Friendly Eating" Wednesday, August 25th, 7pm REGISTER HERE Project Drawdown and other research has shown that shifting our diet can be one of the most important actions we can take to reduce our climate impact. But what does that mean exactly? Can we still enjoy delicious, nutritious, and most of all EASY meals while being conscious of our planetary impact? Our special guests will share some of their favorite meal tips, recipes and ideas while explaining concepts like "eating lower on the carbon chain" and "locavore." Visit SCOCO Network at: https://sustainablecoco.ning.com/?xg_source=msg_mes_network  RRHC Board member Lynn Spatz decorated her truck to represent Rodgers Ranch in Pleasant Hill's Neighborhood Auto Parade on the Fourth of July. Our board also decorated the farmhouse as part of Pleasant Hill's House Decorating Contest. We hope our friends, neighbors, and members got to see one or both and had a wonderful Fourth of July celebration this year!    
   This morning, RRHC Board members Chris Holm, Lynn Spatz, Alison Clary, and Aloma Levine decorated the farmhouse for the 4th of July. Happy Fourth, everyone!      Kids looking for something to do this summer? Sustainable Contra Costa's youth group is putting on a great summer program at local parks for kids. Sustainable Leaders in Action (SLIA), is hosting Operation Green: Mission Possible, a three-week interactive program in July for 8-11 year olds! Six in-person or online missions will be offered—sign up for one or all! Your child will become an agent for the planet by learning about topics like waste reduction and water conservation. Missions include theme-based arts & crafts, physical activities, and critical thinking! All participants receive an activity booklet they can complete for a $10 gift card. In-person participants will also take home a stainless steel water bottle and travel utensil set. There is a FREE informational meeting (6/29 or 6/30 from 4-5 pm) for kids & parents to meet SLIA volunteers and learn about the program. The SLIA Team has put so much into making this a fun and accessible program - please help spread the word!

Wednesday, June 23rd 7:00 p.m. REGISTER HERE RRHC Board member Christian Rousset used his extensive background as a contractor and builder to install the hand railing pictured here. Although the attic is off limits to the public, the board and our partners utilize its space for storing equipment and supplies; however, because the house was built in 1867, the stairs are steep and narrow. It is reassuring to have a sturdy railing to hold on to when climbing up or down the stairs. Merci beaucoup, Christian!   |
