will be talking about a recent publication produced by the Friends of
Sausal Creek called "The House and Garden Audit: Protecting Your
Family’s Health and Improving the Environment." The book is
a great overview of actions that individuals can take in the house and
garden to help keep themselves and our creeks and watersheds
healthy. It has lots of photos, lots of tables that provide a
great reference, and lots of web sites and other sources for people who
want more information. For more information, please contact Juliana Gonzalez at (510) 665-3538 or email juliana@thewatershedproject.org.
