Climate War! Meetup with author Eric Pooley and Harvest Potluck, Saturday, Sept 11

Meetup with Eric Pooley, author of the new book, The Climate War and Garden Harvest Potluck in Pam Pooley's gardens. (Pam is a native plant specialist and garden designer, among other things!) 

 RSVP HERE

This is a wonderful opportunity to talk with Eric in an intimate, relaxed setting. You are encouraged to have read the book prior the meetup so you can participate in the dialogue. You can buy the book on Amazon here. (available in Kindle edition too, which I just found out can be used on any device, not just the Kindle device)

HARVEST POTLUCK GRILL
This will be a 'Potluck Grill' so bring a dish to share or some of your garden bounty to throw on the grill. In the spirit of Slow Food USA's mission of bringing "Good, Clean, Fair" food everywhere, I'm organizing a series of potlucks in hopes that they will help to foster a sense of community around food and sustainability issues. After all, what better way than sharing food to do this?

POTLUCK
Bring a dish to share made of your favorite local and sustainably-grown whole foods. Labels or a card with ingredients is always a good idea.

LOCATION: North Salem. Exact details will be sent after you RSVP.

Meetup: Trip to Long Island Green Dome

Kevin Shea has invited us to visit his off-the-grid Long Island Green Dome! We'll carpool out there to lunch and explore the various methods he has used to produce his own heat and electricity, conserve water, and find out what troubles he has encountered along the way. Should be a lot of fun, and especially interesting to people considering their own energy reducing or energy producing projects.

Find out how he installed his own solar panels for electric, geothermal system for heating and cooling, and wind power generation.

The dome is super energy efficient, and sells power into the grid now. We'll even get to check out the radiant heat floors, low flow toilets, a waterless urinal, a system that captures hot water from the shower and recirculates it for heat, and so much more.

We'll meet at noon at the dome, tour the property... read more and RSVP

The Dome is in Baiting Hollow, NY

Slow Food Potluck Meetup, Saturday, Feb 27th, South Salem

Slow Food Potluck hosted by Enviro-photographer J Henry Fair

KatonahGreen is organizing a series of Slow Food Potlucks in northern Westchester
 
Inspired by Josh Viertel's incredibly inspiring talk on Food, Land and Sustainability, we're scheduling a series of potlucks in hopes that they will help to foster a sense of community around food and sustainability issues. After all, what better way than sharing food to do this?

The first one of 2010 will be a potluck held in the home of renowned enviro-photojournalist J. Henry Fair in South Salem. Henry will briefly talk about his project Industrial Scars. For this event only we will have a vegetarian meal.

Please bring a dish to share. When you RSVP you can let the group know what you'll bring so that it's easier for the rest of us to plan.

In respect of Henry's incredible commitment to low-impact living, please contact me for ride-shares and make sure your dish is prepared with organically-raised whole, vegetarian foods, as local as possible.

Directions will be emailed to you after you RSVP on the KatonahGreen Meetup site.

Find out more about Slow Food Westchester on their blog or Facebook group.
We look forward to eating with you!
