The Southside Branch of the Santa Fe Public Library, 6599 Jaguar Drive, will
host an Environment Education Day on Saturday, Nov. 3, from 10 a.m. until 5
p.m., featuring activities for all ages, including hands on solar displays,
climate-related short plays, "An Inconvenient Truth" slide show, displays
and music. Tours of the Southside Branch, the greenest public building in
Santa Fe, will take place hourly.
A ribbon cutting will be held at 11 a.m. for a collection of library
environmental books and materials, which focus on the newly changing aspects
of our natural environment. The environmental education resource collection
will be available year round for individual and student use. Materials are
from the Southside Library collection, which will be supplemented by public
donation of funds for new materials.
The Sierra Club will sponsor a CFL light bulb exchange, replacing
energy-wasting incandescent light bulbs, starting at 12 noon. Approximately
2,000 light bulbs, up to 4 per household, will be traded out. The ATC
marimba band will also play at noon.
At 3 p.m. Dr. Camilla Bustamante will speak on "Planning a Sustainable Santa
Fe."
The Opening is also a part of the national StepItUp 2 event. For more
