Scientists tell us that we must reduce our greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030 (vs. a 2010 baseline), and that 25 – 30% of all needed emissions reductions can come from individuals/households. 50% may seem like a very high hurdle. But, it translates to only a 10%/year reduction, starting now. And, you may have already made some lifestyle improvements since 2010 that reduced your emissions, so you could already be well on your way toward the 50% reduction goal. Participants in this individualized course will leave with a personal plan to achieve the 50% emissions reduction goal. 281-300-8212

Join Bayou Preservation Association’s Resiliency At-Home Summer Workshop Series with our Pollinator Gardens Workshop—part of a three-part series designed to provide Houstonians with practical tools for creating more sustainable homes and resilient communities. Led by Master Gardener Robin Kendrick Yates, this hands-on workshop will examine the vital role pollinators play in our ecosystems and how to design a garden that supports them. Learn how native plants, thoughtful design, and simple practices can attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial species while improving the health of our bayous. 713-529-6443
