DESCRIPTION:Your presence is requested at the next Burn Green Soiree. Our presenters 
 will be Rosey Jencks, of SFWater.org discussing rainwater collection and 
 Laura Allen of Grey Water Guerrillas discussing grey water systems. \n 
 \nWhat:               Burn Green Soiree with project presenters: Rosey 
 Jencks and Laura Allen\nRosey Jencks works at the San Francisco Public 
 Utilities Commission (SFPUC) as a watershed and stormwater planner and has 
 recently unveiled SFPUC polices for implementing low impact designs for 
 stormwater and San Francisco's new Rainwater Harvesting Rules. Homeowners 
 are now finally able to legally disconnect their downspouts and use 
 rainwater for non-potable purposes both inside and outdoors.  She was a 
 co-founder of the San Francisco Green Schoolyard Alliance and is committed 
 to urban greening in all her work. In 2005, Rosey received UC Berkeley’s 
 Geraldine Knight Scott Award, which allowed her to complete a seven-county 
 tour looking at examples of multi-purpose stormwater 
 management.\nhttp://sfwater.org/home.cfm\n\nLaura Allen is a founding 
 member of the Greywater Guerrillas. She is co-author of the notorious 
 Guerrilla Greywater Girls Guide to Water and has been scheming and 
 constructing greywater systems throughout the north coast for the last six 
 years. Her writings can be found in Urban Wilds: Gardeners' Stories of the 
 Struggle for Land and Justice, Clamor, and Home Power magazine. Laura lives 
 in the Bay Area and is an active gardener, elementary school teacher and 
 aspiring inventor. As well as the three R's (readin', ritin' and 
 rithmetic), she teaches urban gardening, creek restoration, and sustainable 
 technologies.  Her favorite activities are smashing concrete, hanging out 
 in wetlands, visiting people's eco toilets, and drinking 
 tea.\nhttp://www.greywaterguerrillas.com/\n\nSee you there.  Feel free to

 sustainability events calendar:  
 http://tinyurl.com/6a93l2\n\nDescription:\nThis  group is an 
 ACTION-oriented group focused on developing innovative, creative,  
 out-of-the-box, FUN solutions to sustainability "problems" in the areas of  
 energy/power/renewables, carbon mitigation, food security,  
 recycling/composting/gray water, transportation, land use, environmental  
 education.  \n\nThe members are representatives of city/county governments, 
 sustainability/environmental/technology development businesses and 
 nonprofits, funders with deep pockets, as well as artists, designers, 
 inventors, engineers, mechanics from the Burning Man community and beyond.  
  The idea is to connect the ingenuity, out-of-the-box design strategies and 
 the humor of Burning Man artists and activists to those forging the arena 
 of sustainability problem solving.\n\nThe ethos is based in open hand,  
 open source, cooperative development of projects that address immediate,  
 localized sustainability issues.\n\nThis is a participant-driven group, 
 which meets once a month in a casual setting in the SF Bay Area, providing 
 2 presentations on innovative projects, discussion of what is needed and 
 how to accomplish, specific project development, and open networking.  The 
 goal, beyond information sharing, is to identify specific sustainability 
 needs/issues and develop specific innovative solutions as well as to access 
 available funding for project development and implementation.\n\nThe 
 on-line group includes active related listings for: Jobs, RFPs, 
 Sustainability and Arts Calender, Calls for Art, Award Ops, Open Source 
 Project info, Best Practices, News, Emerging Technologies, and updates on 
 the Soiree happenings.   Again, the contents are provided by 
 participants.\n\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2008/12/01/18553305.php
