A Sustainable Water Future for CA
The Los Angeles Greens feature guest speaker, Dorothy Green, founder of Heal the Bay. Recently, she launched the California Water Impact Network (CWIN), http://www.c-win.org/ whose goal is to move our state toward a sustainable water future.
Our water resources are overcommitted. But if we learn to use the water we have more efficiently, there will be plenty of water in our state to meet all our needs. We can restore the San Francisco Bay Delta, the San Joaquin River, and lost habitats for our endangered species as well.
This is the message contained in Dorothy Green\'s book, Managing Water: Avoiding Crisis in California, published by UCPress. Book webpage: http://www.ucpress.edu/books/pages/10611.html.
All are invited to attend and hear Ms. Green speak on this vital subject, and learn how to affect sustainable water solutions in our state.
Wednesday, Oct. 17, 7pm Peace Center, 8124 W. Third Street, Los Angeles http://losangelesgreens.org/ 323-651-5539 This event is free; donations are accepted.
Dorothy Green is the Founding President of Heal the Bay. She was also the founding President and now President Emeritus of the Los Angeles & San Gabriel Rivers Watershed Council.
