2. September 8th, 350 Triangle is organizing the Rise for Climate Solutions Bio-Bus Tour highlighting climate solutions from household to community levels in Durham and Orange Counties from noon to 7 pm.  We'll leave at noon on a Greenway Transit Bio-Bus and tour six locations with solutions in our own communities, unleash our collective creative ideas and energy, and spark growth of many more local solutions we need to address the climate crisis.  Beginning at the Durham Station Transportation Center, the tour makes stops in Durham and Orange Counties, with interactive activities between stops and ends with a dinner and social at a home in rural Orange County. Come spend an afternoon with your fellow community members before returning by bus to our starting point. Cost is $5 per person.

3. Join us on September 10th in Durham for the Racial Equity and Environmental Justice Workshop at the Pilgrim United Church of Christ in Durham to deep dive into racial equity with Alexa Broderick of The Equity Paradigm and environmental justice with Naeema Muhammad and Ayo Wilson of NC Environmental Justice Network. We'll look at the United State's political history to understand how policy has shaped racial inequity then discuss how we, as environmentalists, can focus our work around environmental justice.
