How we are trying to make this event "green":
Please help us to make '10-10-10 Ukiah Climate Action Festival' GREEN!
* Ride your walk, bike, or carpool to Ukiah Climate Action Festival.
* Bring your own REUSABLE COFFEE MUG to Ukiah Climate Action Festival. Use your own coffee mug and get a discount on coffee.
* Create a festival bag (or backpack). In your reusable bag, put a cloth napkin and your OWN REUSABLE SERVINGWARE. Although we'll have compostable utensils at Climate Action Festival, using your own utensils is far more sustainable.
* Bring your own REUSABLE BAGS for literature or other free things you might pick up at Climate Action Festival.
* Use the recycling and composting bins at the event. Let’s get as close to ZERO WASTE as possible. Think before you throw - there will be are signs that will help you to separate your recyclables and compostables.
* Do you have an ELECTRIC CAR? There's an electric car charging station on Oak St. at corner of Standley St. (Post Office parking lot), a block away from the Clubhouse.
* Don’t forget to bring your OWN REUSABLE WATER BOTTLE. No bottled water will be available at the festival. There are water fountains and taps at the Saturday Afternoon Clubhouse.
* And lastly - if you're traveling from afar to Ukiah and Mendoland, how about buying some CARBON OFFSETS to cover your trip to the festival? Go to www.nativeenergy.com, www.terrapass.com, or www.carbonfund.org.
