The Humboldt Bay Center for Sustainable Living and the Redwood Coast Energy Authority will hold a free workshop, “The Future of Humboldt’s Sustainability: Can We be a World Model?” presented by Lonny Grafman, as part of CHANGES & CHOICES—A Monthly Program on How to Green Up Our Life, starting at 6:45 p.m. on Wednesday, November 11, 2009, at the Redwood Coast Energy Resource Center, 517 5th Street, in Eureka (between F &G).
Grafman will talk about various cities, including a few in Humboldt, that have come together to promote sustainability in water usage, energy, transportation community building, local food and agriculture development, and physical resources which include forestry, land use and fisheries. The evening will include a discussion on how Humboldt can become more sustainable.
