The Museum On Main Street's Ed Kinney Lecture Series presents "Sustainability: Then and Now" in recognition of the 40th Anniversary of Earth Day. The lecture is sponsored by Jack Harrington.
Alviso Adobe Community Park Naturalist Eric Nichols, and Maria Lara from the Office of Pleasanton's city manager will talk about native, historic and current sustainability efforts. What sustainable practices did Native populations use in the Amador-Livermore Valley hundreds of years ago? What steps can we take to ensure a healthier region today and into the future?
Nicholas will talk about Native and historic land use, including hunting game, gathering food, and creating shelter. He leads programs with local youth and the public, encouraging active participation in stewardship. Lara will discuss local sustainability programs including Solar Cities, a program focused on educating residential consumers about solar energy in the cities of Pleasanton, Livermore, and Dublin; the curbside recycling program, and more.
