PlacerSustain: Voices of Placer County's Sustainability Community

The American River Conservancy needs our help in acquiring 605 acres west of Salmon Falls Road in the American River watershed.  They are asking us to contribute $50 by April 27.  I donated online at arconservancy.org/donatesalmonfallsranch

As development pressures continue to advance around Folsom Lake, it's very important to invest in our collective open space! Thanks!

Recently ran across an advertisement for Farmie Market, an online approach to farmers market.  Interested in getting some perspective from the PS community on the potential of the program.  Do you think this supports "buy local" goals?  Does this create more opportunities? or does it take away from the true sense of community?

Thanks everyone!
