This Sustainable September, the City of Santa Monica is celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Sustainable City Plan and its long-standing commitment to enhancing resources, preventing harm to the natural environment and human health, and benefiting the social and economic well-being of the community for the sake of current and future generations. While looking back on the progress made over the years, it is also important to look ahead and design a sustainable and resilient community for the future.

• Sunny Wang, Water Resources Manager at the City of Santa Monica, will discuss the City’s Sustainable Water Master Plan, SWIP and Water Recycling
• Evelin Weber, Malibu Foundation’s Executive Director and co-founder, will talk about the new SM microforests project.

The panel will be moderated by Bonny Bentzin, UCLA’s Deputy Chief Sustainability Officer. Attendees will have an opportunity to ask questions of the panelists.

Ride, don’t drive, if you can. The Annenberg offers bike racks. The Big Blue Bus #9 stops at the intersection of Entrada Dr./Channel Rd. and Pacific Coast Highway, about 1/4 mile north of the Beach House. Use the underground walking path to get across PCH to the beach, and then head south along the bike path toward the Beach House.

If you must drive, try to carpool.
