Mark you calendar. On Tuesday evening, September 24th, 6:30, the Friends of Oak Cliff Parks will hold their fall quarterly meeting at Better Block (former Brumley’s)  on Davis Street. This is a wonderful venue and we are grateful to Better Block for their help. Aside from great freebie raffle giveaways and the drawing for our summer fundraiser (one round trip SWA ticket), we have a great program for all attendees.

Our speaker is Steve Smith, regular presenter for the Dallas Sierra Club. His program is entitled “Sustainable Diets” . In his presentation you will learn how our food choices are affecting deforestation, species extinction, water pollution, water depletion, climate change, and how we can make smarter food choices to minimize those impacts.

Steve is an independent researcher with a focus on sustainable food systems. He has collected a consensus of findings by the scientific community on sustainable diets over the past several years and will provide the results of those findings along with sources and direct quotes. 

As always, there is no charge for this event. Water and cookies will be provided.
