Please join us for this timely topic presented by David Smart at the Richmond Beach Library.

Everyone's heard about peak oil by now, but did you know that natural gas supply will become a regional problem in the next five years? Neither did I until I did the research. My presentation on Natural Gas in the northwest will illuminate how we obtain, distribute and use natural gas for our needs. It will also show why alternatives such as such solar hot water and solar based electricity are the most viable replacement.

Get ready for fun in the sun in Shoreline!

This year's fair has been expanded to two days. Friday night July 20th will feature a free kick-off event at Shoreline Center including a silent auction, Haute Trash fashion show, a keynote by Alan Durning of the Sightline Institute and a no-host bar.

Saturday, come out to Meridian Park School and learn all about renewable energy tech and ideas for low energy living.
