Beyond Global Recycling Day
Written by Sanju A. (and posted very late by Cat, but hey! It’s Earth month!) Global Recycling Day was on March 18th this year.

With the Big Day of Giving coming up on Thursday, May 6, we wanted to highlight some of our accomplishments. And in highlighting our accomplishments, we’re highlighting our donors and volunteers. Because without the generous help of 350 Sacramento’s awesome donors and volunteers, we wouldn’t be the biggest climate-focused organization in Sacramento. Without you, we […]

Earth Champions of Hollywood Park
I won’t be the first or last to say this, but I love living in Hollywood Park. Is it the best neighborhood in Sacramento? Just kidding – don’t answer that. I don’t want to start any fights right now (and, trust me, you don’t want to start a fight you can’t win 😉). My neighbors […]

Sac County’s CAP is Unacceptable.
The County’s plan is seriously inadequate. After 9-1/2 years of delay, the CAP presents more vague promises for future action. We will push them – with your help. We’ve prepared a comment tool with guiding questions and prompts so you can say you want a strong CAP. We hope you’ll find inspiration in this tool, […]

Sac County CAP Update
