Create climate action in your local area. Come celebrate climate action by gleaning apples for the hungry and for permaculture projects.
What: Apple Picking
When: Saturday, October 24, 10 AM to 4 PM
Where: Meet at Naked Lounge at 15th & Q St., downtown Sacramento, carpool from there to Garden Highway Orchard
Why: To donate apples to the Sacramento Food Bank, and practice fermentation and food preservation by making cider.
What to bring: bags for apples, dress for the weather, water, maybe lunch?
There was a lot of interest at the recent Regenerative Design trip on a cider making meetup. This requires fruit. We need volunteers to come pick apples if we want to be able to make cider. We need at least five folks to RSVP yes to make this happen.
According to Randy of Soil Born Farms, there will be others there picking as well. Ladders and equipment for picking will be on site, but if you have gloves, I'd bring 'em. As well as appropriate clothes.
If you can, please RSVP to http://www.meetup.com/Sacramento-Area-Permaculture/calendar/11675345 and, as well, I will send out a message with contact info and travel directions on Friday.

Understanding 350
- So, what is global warming and what's the problem anyway?
- And what does this 350 number even mean?
- If we're already past 350, are we all doomed?
- How do we create the political change to steer towards 350?
- How do we get the world on track to get to 350?
- How do we actually reduce carbon emissions to get to 350??
- Will this thing work? Will world leaders listen?
- Where did this 350 number come from?
- Isn't America the biggest source of the problem? What about China and India?
- 350 is just a number. Wouldn't "Climate Emergency" or "Clean Energy Now" be a better call to action?
- And what about all the other targets people are aiming for?
- Why October 24th?
- Why another organization--there are already too many things going on!
- Do you measure 350 in CO2 or CO2e?
