The Dallas Sierra Club Meeting includes the following program:
Green Building - Learn about home remodeling with a "green" concept. Architect Terry Sullivan will tell how to make your home green, and will present case studies of green remodeled homes that show the latest in high efficiency air conditioning, plumbing fixtures, and electrical fixtures for energy conservation.
Penguins - When most people think of a penguin, they envision a tuxedo clad Emperor penguin
living in Antarctic, as documented in the film "March of the Penguins" or the movie "Happy Feet."
But did you know there are actually 17 species of penguins living on the planet today? And
believe it or not, a number of them live in warm climates. David Salomon, photographer and author of the new book Penguin-Pedia, introduces the 17 species of penguins that the majority of readers may have never known existed -- and will be fascinated to learn about.
