Hey there Midtowners, Downtowners, and other Gridsters,

This 2nd Saturday launch of 9onF at 15th and F Streets was a total success. Kicked off with a press conference with Mayor Heather Fargo, developer, Jeremy Drucker, architect, Ron Vrilakas, and ECOS Executive Director, Graham Brownstein, Sacramento entered a new phase of inquiry as to what defines a green city and what it means to achieve sustainability through the lens of Green the Grid.

What is Green the Grid? Well, th…

Hey there Gridsters,

We’re seeking out any artists willing to create art using eco-friendly materials or covering environmental subject matter.

Well, with June 24th through the 30^th being National Pollinator Week I decided to chime in on the Honey Bee Hot Topic. Apropos to the theme of the week, Senator Barbara Boxer unveiled her bill, The Pollinator Protection Act that, if passed, will dole out $89 million for research and grants related to the Great Bee Die-Off. Rep. Alcee Hastings, D-Fla., was the author of a similar bill to pass in the House earlier this year.

A few months ag…

Hey there Midtowners and Sactowners,

We saw many of our Gridsters out at Sac State. The crowd was twice as a large as last year despite the threat of rain which never materialized. It was a beautiful day to celebrate our Earth.

Red Tent Belly Dance had two troupes dancing on the grassy stage. Verbatim strutted its pirate hula dances which can be seen again this Saturday at the L Street Lofts Party on 18th Street. ABD Capoeira displayed their Brazilian martial arts skills in a…

Our city is going green and last Saturday was Green Sacramento’s 2^nd Anniversary Party.

It was beautifully…
