It creates a web of community connections, friendships, and reciprocity. And finally, community farming brings joy and beauty into our lives. Consider "thrivance" through community farming! 281-300-8212

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
