Green Living Workshop logo

This workshop will focus on Water issues in general, and as they relate to Food production and security.  

We will spend 60 minutes discussing the environmental problems relating to Water and Food as well as solutions participants can implement after completing the workshop. Presenters from partner non-profit organizations will be speaking about their missions and will have information on how you can get active and involved.  Horticulturist & Master Gardener Idalia Ramirez will be on hand to talk about edible gardens.  Rain Barrels International will also be at the event to educate participants on the importance of capturing rain water and they will be selling rain barrels as part of a Sustainable Works fundraiser. The City of Santa Monica offers a $100 rebate for rain barrels to Santa Monica residents, but you must click here to reserve your rain barrel(s).

Sustainability tools will be raffled off to help participants carry out the solutions discussed during the workshop.

Sustainable Works supports the City of Santa Monica Sustainable City Plan.

Sustainable Works is a project of Community Partners.

The Green Living Workshop covers the following topics, one per week:

* Water
* Energy
* Waste
* Chemicals
* Transportation
* Shopping & Food

We spend time each week learning about the problems related to each of the above topics on a global, national and local scale. Then with the help of the WorksBook, a comprehensive sustainability primer that all participants receive, we review ten related solutions.

We also give away sustainability tools to help participants carry out the solutions discussed during the workshop.
