Re: [sustainable_tompkins-l] Reed coming to W. NY for Saturday May 6th Town Halls

Hi Folks,
Please note, if you go to Reed's website, it appears there are no phone 
numbers listed.  
They have use virtually the same color for numbers as for background.  
Expand the text and look closely.  Apparently there is no trick he won't play 
on us.

Learn how to grow mushrooms outside using sawdust spawn.In this workshop
we'll teach how to make totems to grow oyster mushrooms and wood chip beds
for wine caps (stropharia). Each participant will take home a pre-cut
log (9-12"
diameter, 27-32" long) and sawdust spawn to make their own oyster mushroom
totem. We'll also provide handouts on both methods.

The workshop will be taught by SUNY ESF student Kayo Green, who has studied
fungus-soil relations and former Extension Educator Jessica Maxwell, who
has been cultivating log and wood chip grown mushrooms for almost 10 years.

Three strains of oyster mushroom spawn will be available; choose your
prefered strain when registering. Register early for widest selection!
Click for full descriptions:

Italian:  *fall fruiting, one
of the finest culinary oysters, also widely considered medicinal*
Grey:  *spring/fall fruiting,
one of the most reliable and productive oyster strains*
Golden:  *summer fruiting,
delicate flavor, incredibly beautiful golden yellow color*

This is a hands-on experience, please dress appropriately.

Go Solar Tompkins
Saturday, May 6, 10:00am-12:00pm
@ Brooktondale Community Center, 524 Valley Road, Brooktondale 14817

Have you thought about going solar but don't know where to start? Do you have a 
question you want to ask an installer but don't who to talk to? Did you hear 
that getting solar through the Go Solar Tompkins campaign can save you 10% or 
more, and want to learn more?

Join us for this FREE event to learn more about solar, talk to our energy 
educator and partner installers and sign up for a FREE assessment that will 
help you save money if you decide to go solar! There are now more options 
available than ever before, incentives have just been extended, and solar 
panels are at an all-time low price. There's no better time than right now to 
Go Solar!

Enrollment in this new program runs through the end of May, so plan to attend 
one of these public events to learn how to put the power of the sun to work for 
you. We'll answer all your questions about financing, incentives, how the 
technology works, battery back-up, and more, and you'll have a chance to meet 
our four partner installers and sign up for a free assessment. All events are 
FREE and everyone is welcome!

Don't miss the SOLAR CELEBRATION: Sunday, May 21, Cass Park, 
Ithaca,
 10:00am-2:00pm

Visit www.GoSolarTompkins.org for more 
information about going solar and a list of partner installers, or contact

[sustainable_tompkins-l] Color You Beautiful

2017-05-05 Thread Wendy Skinner 
GET YOUR COLORS “DONE” AT FASHION NIGHT

May 5, from 5 to 8 pm, is Fashion Night in downtown Ithaca. Held in conjunction 
with Gallery Night, stores and art galleries are open for a variety of events. 
As one stop on this lovely evening, SewGreen invites you to "get your colors 
done." We'll help you see which colors are most becoming to you -- and which 
are not, a la the classic book Color Me Beautiful.

Each participant receives a 20% off coupon for an item from our selection of 
very gently-worn Eileen Fisher fashions -- fresh, new-looking designer apparel 
priced so low, you won't know whether to keep it a secret or tell all your 
friends. A new shipment this week has nearly doubled the stock of spring and 
summer dresses, skirts, jackets, sweaters, and tops.

This is a very earth-friendly and generous way to shop. Reuse significantly 
reduces greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and all proceeds from Eileen Fisher 
sales at SewGreen go to benefit leadership programs for girls and young women. 
Thanks!
