"Grow!" Film Screening - Dallas

Screening of the movie "Grow!" by Slow Money, a non-profit dedicated to building and supporting the local sustainable food system. Free but donations requested.

Grow! is a great introduction to local farming issues and why people choose to farm, the rewards and the sacrifices. Two film makers spent an entire growing season with 20 farmers and two apprentices on 12 different farms in Georgia. This is their story.

There is parking located along Jefferson which is surprisingly quiet after 6pm as well as two lots close to the theater. The first one is located in the Bank of Texas in between Zang and Madison along Centre street. The second lot is located behind the theater on Sunset avenue also between Madison and Zang. This is generally an overflow lot that we use for valet services when needed, Jefferson is usually sufficient for most performances.

Green Remodeling and Building - Dallas

Three of the highest expenses of your life are your hot water, your food, and your home. That's because they all take energy.

Living sustainably saves energy, thus money, particularly as we transition to higher, and then even higher, costs of that energy

But not all ways of living sustainably are practical. And some sustainable living is most practical (like solar hot water) when you do-it-yourself.

We have three speakers to talk about practical sustainability--all experts in their fields.

Phil Fisher, licensed electrician, solar designer/installer, and owner of Solar Systems Installations, will discuss solar hot water (now often best if you DIY) and hot water by heat pump.

DFW Greenweavers Meeting - Dallas

We will be meeting in the private building behind the main building. (Times Ten II)

“DFW Greenweavers is a power group of local, sustainable businesses that have been operating in the Metroplex as experts in their given Green fields.”

$1/person plus food/drinks.

When people arrive you will be broken into three groups:

1) Home and Buildings 

2) Food and Gardening

3) Health and Lifestyle 

The first part of the meeting will be spent socializing with the people in your industry. There has been a great response from people spending time with others that are in their given fields.

After that you will draw a business card from the hat. You will then have a 5 minute 1-1 with that person and you will be giving their 30 second commercial! This was a HUGE success last time. Lots of FUN!
