Matt Vander Sluis, will be visiting Humboldt County next week to facilitate a free Local Climate Initiative
Workshop Tuesday, Sept 30, 6:30 to 9pm at the D Street Neighborhood Center, 14th and D, Arcata.  This is a great opportunity to learn what we can do as a community to reduce our emissions to help slow and hopefully stop Global Climate Disruption.

The workshop will focus on how we as citizens can influence local policy to curb emissions.  Topics include general plans, forestry issues, campaign strateiges and CEQA (the California Environmental Quality Act).  Attendees will receive a toolkit which will help them to take what they've learned and put it to practice.  With Humboldt County General Plan Update hearings about to start up again in the next few months, this workshop is well timed.

Matt is Global Warming Program Manager for the Planning and Conservation League which is putting on this event in cooperation with the Healthy Humboldt Coalition, of which Green Wheels is a member organization.
