SUMMARY:Wild About Plants
DESCRIPTION:Grow Green is a creek-friendly gardening education program. We help protect Austin’s water by encouraging less use of landscape chemicals and keeping rain where it falls — reducing flooding\, erosion\, and pollution\, because what runs off our land flows straight to our creeks and river. We teach people how to select the right plants for their space and manage pests in ways that minimize their impact on both people and wildlife. The Central Texas climate has many extremes\, so plants must be resilient\, or “Texas tough.” Understanding what makes them capable of surviving\, as well as the regional environment and the importance of site-specific conditions\, is essential for making informed plant selection decisions. \nDenise Delaney is Austin Watershed Protection’s Grow Green Program Coordinator. Her professional horticultural roots are 40 years deep in Central Texas. She has coordinated the Grow Green program since 2004. Before that\, she was the first Director of Horticulture at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center. She spent a decade working closely with Mrs. Johnson during the construction\, installation\, and establishment of the original gardens and growing operation. Other experience includes working for landscape design\, installation\, and maintenance companies on private estates\, retail nurseries\, and at the University of Texas at Austin.

SUMMARY:Reuse Series: Know Your Style - Recycled Reads
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Recycled Reads – \nKNOW YOUR STYLE with Bernadette Noll\nThis program is open to 25 people – please grab a free ticket on Eventbrite to get your spot! \nA big problem with fast fashion is we are buying too much of lesser quality. We are wooed by the low prices but then those pieces just pile up in our closets until we can’t even see what we’ve got. Join us in this step towards sustainable fashion which also makes you less susceptible to the marketers and the trend makers. When you KNOW YOUR STYLE\, you’ll be less likely to buy more and instead you’ll be happy with what you have! \nScene A: You’re getting ready to go out and all is grooving. Your whole look feels so YOU! And with each garment you put on you’re like\, yep\, that’s right. \nScene B: You’re getting ready to go out and every garment you pull from the dresser or closet you put on\, look\, then quickly shed because it’s just not right. It’s like you’re playing dress up with someone else’s clothes and you’re not feeling it at all. The mountain of clothes tossed to the side grows bigger until you feel like there’s just nothing that works and you need to go out and buy more. \nIn this workshop\, we’ll go over what works and what doesn’t. What outfits or pieces that you have feel like you and which ones are…never…quite…right. Then we’ll discuss ways you can make it so you have only pieces that work and ways too you might tweak the ones that don’t. \nGot an item that you love but just needs something\, bring it along to discuss! \nThis series is funded by a stipend from Austin’s Resource Recovery \nhttp://www.austintexas.gov/department/austin-resource-recovery \nFree & Open to the Public \nAdults 18+ only\, please!

SUMMARY:Talk Green to Me Book Club: The Genius of Earth Day
DESCRIPTION:From the Talk Green to Me Book Club –\nJoin us every 4th Thursday from 7pm – 8pm at Recycled Reads for an environmental and sustainability themed reading extravaganza! \nThe book that will be discussed is\, “The Genius of Earth Day: How a 1970 Teach-In Unexpectedly Made the First Green Generation.” \nAbout the Genius of Earth Day: \nThe first Earth Day is the most famous little-known event in modern American history. Because we still pay ritual homage to the planet every April 22\, everyone knows something about Earth Day. Some people may also know that Earth Day 1970 made the environmental movement a major force in American political life. But no one has told the whole story before. \nThe story of the first Earth Day is inspiring: it had a power\, a freshness\, and a seriousness of purpose that are difficult to imagine today. Earth Day 1970 created an entire green generation. Thousands of Earth Day organizers and participants decided to devote their lives to the environmental cause. Earth Day 1970 helped to build a lasting eco-infrastructure—lobbying organizations\, environmental beats at newspapers\, environmental-studies programs\, ecology sections in bookstores\, community ecology centers. \nIn The Genius of Earth Day\, the prizewinning historian Adam Rome offers a compelling account of the rise of the environmental movement. Drawing on his experience as a journalist as well as his expertise as a scholar\, he explains why the first Earth Day was so powerful\, bringing one of the greatest political events of the twentieth century to life.

SUMMARY:Talk Green to Me Book Club: Don't Even Think About It
DESCRIPTION:From the Talk Green to Me Book Club –\nJoin us every 4th Thursday from 7pm – 8pm at Recycled Reads for an environmental and sustainability themed reading extravaganza! In February we’re reading “Don’t Even Think About It: Why Our Brains Are Wired to Ignore Climate Change” by George Marshall \nMost of us recognize that climate change is real yet we do nothing to stop it. What is the psychological mechanism that allows us to know something is true but act as if it is not? George Marshall’s search for the answers brings him face to face with Nobel Prize–winning psychologists and Texas Tea Party activists; the world’s leading climate scientists and those who denounce them; liberal environmentalists and conservative evangelicals. What he discovers is that our values\, assumptions\, and prejudices can take on lives of their own\, gaining authority as they are shared\, dividing people in their wake. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Talk Green to Me Book Club: Collapse by Jared Diamond
DESCRIPTION:From the Talk Green to Me Book Club –\nIn Jared Diamond’s follow-up to the Pulitzer-Prize winning “Guns\, Germs and Steel\,” the author explores how climate change\, the population explosion\, and political discord create the conditions for the collapse of civilization. \nEnvironmental damage\, climate change\, globalization\, rapid population growth\, and unwise political choices were all factors in the demise of societies around the world\, but some found solutions and persisted. As in “Guns\, Germs\, and Steel\,” Diamond traces the fundamental pattern of catastrophe\, and weaves an all-encompassing global thesis through a series of fascinating historical-cultural narratives. \nCollapse moves from the Polynesian cultures on Easter Island to the flourishing American civilizations of the Anasazi and the Maya and finally to the doomed Viking colony on Greenland. Similar problems face us today and have already brought disaster to Rwanda and Haiti\, even as China and Australia are trying to cope in innovative ways. Despite our own society’s apparently inexhaustible wealth and unrivaled political power\, ominous warning signs have begun to emerge even in ecologically robust areas like Montana. \nJoin us at Recycled Reads for an environmental and sustainability themed reading extravaganza!

SUMMARY:Talk Green to Me Book Club: Now or Never
DESCRIPTION:From the Talk Green to Me Book Club –\nIn Now or Never\, the internationally acclaimed author of The Weather Makers returns to the subject of climate change with a book that is at once a forceful call to action and a deeply (and often surprisingly) pragmatic roadmap toward sustainability. Utilizing the most up-to-the-minute data available\, Tim Flannery offers a guided tour of the environmental challenges we face and their potential solutions in both the big picture and in specific detail. He explores everything from techniques for storing the carbon that dead plants release into the earth to the fragile balancing act between energy demands and food supply in India and China\, from carbon-trading schemes in South America to a recent collaboration between a Danish wind-energy company and an automobile manufacturer that may produce a viable electric car and end the reign of big oil. \nJoin us every 4th Thursday from 7pm – 8pm at Recycled Reads for an environmental and sustainability themed reading extravaganza!
