CMCM is co-sponsoring a water conservation panel discussion organized by Sustainable Fairfax, Friday March 21, 6:30 – 9:00 PM
at the Fairfax Women's Club - 46 Park Road, Fairfax, CA.

Speakers on the panel include:

Lauren Hage, co-founder of Weaving Earth, discusses runoff as a resource
instead of a problem. Rainwater harvesting, berm and bioswales will be
covered.

Peter Waring, Home Energy Consultant, provides information on installing
greywater systems and ways to conserve water indoors.

Dan Carney, MMWD Water Conservation Manager, gives the latest update on
our reservoir levels, water usage, drought concerns and how to get free home
MMWD water consults.

Terri Fashing of Marin County Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program
covers how to protect and enhance water quality in creeks and wetlands,
and discusses State water permit requirements.

Tony Mekisich, Marin Master Gardener and horticulturist, gives tips on
strategies for selecting and using plants for water conserving gardens.
Moderator: Liza Crosse, Vice President of Marin Municipal Water Board (MMWD),
representing Fairfax and surrounds.

A broad coalition of activist groups, companies, and online platforms will hold a worldwide day of activism in opposition to the NSA's mass spying regime on February 11th. Dubbed "The Day We Fight Back", the day of activism was announced on the eve of the anniversary of the tragic passing of activist and technologist Aaron Swartz.

On January 11, 2013, Aaron Swartz took his own life. Aaron had a brilliant, inquisitive mind that he employed towards the ends of technology, writing, research, art, and so much more. Near the end of his life, his focus was political activism, in support of civil liberties, democracy, and economic justice. The protest is both in his honor and in celebration of the victory over the Stop Online Piracy Act two years ago this month, which he helped spur.

Participants including Access, Demand Progress, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Fight for the Future, Free Press, BoingBoing, Reddit, Mozilla, ThoughtWorks, and more to come, will join potentially millions of Internet users to pressure lawmakers to end mass surveillance -- of both Americans and the citizens of the whole world.

UPDATE: Marin County Rock 'n' Roll is available to Watch Now
