We are all kind of kickin' back this Memorial Day Holiday time and not preparing any presentations for our June 1, 2017 meeting. This meeting day will be another one of our "Free For All" days where we give the floor to any member or visitor to talk about some sustainable topic, or show something new they have discovered. A lot of interesting things have been brought to our attention on these days. Join us and partake in the discovery! 
Various members of the EcoGreen group are taking a break this week and will be on a field trip to a location to learn and witness sustainability ideas in progress. There will be no EGG meeting at the Federated Church in Saratoga on May, 2017. We will resume our scheduled activities on June 1, 2017. See you then! 
Today's meeting will be an opportunity for members and visitors to bring to our attention any interesting sustainability happenings that they have uncovered. There are alot of sustainability efforts going on out there and by having everybody's eyes and ears investigating we can become aware of some really incredible things that people are doing. I will be bringing to the meeting some of my findings and sharing it with the group. Bring some new sustainability things and help advance our effort! Please join us! 
The Powerwall is a Tesla Inc. product that provides Lithium battery energy storage for homes. Unused solar generated energy can be stored for later use after the sun sets.

Please join us at this informative meeting and join the discussion and learn more about this product.

Spring is well under way, but with all the rain that has been coming down on us, I have been very slow to get out in the garden and get things going. It looks like the weather is settling down and it is time to start doing what it takes to get that garden going or to keep it going if you are so fortunate as to have a year round garden.
