Sustainable Works is a nonprofit environmental education organization and a project of Community Partners, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

The Save Energy/Save Money workshop will provide participants with practical ways to lower their power bills through energy saving best practices and taking advantage of LADWP rebates and incentives. In addition, participants will also learn about the big picture of energy in California and Los Angeles, the ongoing transition to clean power sources, and the intersection of clean energy and environmental justice. LADWP resources will be available in Spanish and English. Presenter Natalie St.Clair is the Facilities and Energy Fellow at the Los Angeles Community College District. Through the LADWP Community Partnership Grant, she leads the Energy Blitz outreach and education initiative on the LA City College campus and throughout Council District 13 to improve energy efficiency and water conservation in the community.

Drawing on his latest book, RetroSuburbia: The Downshifter’s Guide to a Resilient Future, Permaculture co-originator David Holmgren will show how our suburbs can be transformed into productive, resilient and sustainable places to live through garden farming. Growing food right where people live, in back and front yards, has environmental, social and psychological benefits. Garden farming in the household, non-monetary economy is complementary to commercial urban and peri-urban agriculture that, collectively, can be the heart of a resilient bio-regional food system.
