The annual Eco Summit that brings together area environmental groups to share their past and present activities is scheduled to be held on Saturday, December 4, at the San Luis Obispo Senior Center,1445 Santa Rosa Street, San Luis Obispo, with a new theme this year: What works, what doesn't work and what hasn't been tried.
The event will take place between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. A $10 per person donation—that includes lunch—is requested by the Environmental Center of San Luis Obispo County, commonly known as ECOSLO, which is the sponsor. Those wishing to attend are asked to make reservations by calling ECOSLO at 544-1777 or emailing the office at info@ecoslo.org by Friday, December 3.
The program features four panels to be held throughout the day on 1) the proposed expansion of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary to cover the San Luis Obispo County coast, 2) the 10-year history of the Coastal Alliance on Plant Expansion related to the Morro Bay Power Plant, 3) the long struggle over sludge land application in the county, and 4) a presentation by the Empower Poly Coalition of sustainability-related organizations and student-run clubs with interest in environmental justice, human rights, and a healthy lifestyle.
Questions and comments from the audience will be invited as part of the panel discussions.
