Eat Well! Reducing food waste in Placer County
Here is a short video about the program from CBS News Sacramento
Food waste significantly contributes to climate change by generating methane in our landfills. Eat Well is a virtual food pantry, a mobile app that connects businesses with unsold food directly to community members in need. Fight both food insecurity and climate change with the Eat Well app! Come hear about this program from Ian Price, who developed the app ‘Eat Well’, and the specialists who are instituting the Eat Well program in Placer County.

Here Comes The Sun
Fighting Climate Change with Solar Power
World-renowned climate activist Bill McKibben has good news: We know how to catch the sun’s rays, giving us plentiful and inexpensive energy! The capability to go solar is faster than any energy transition in history — and it may be the only remaining chance to slow down the rapid heating of the earth. WBUR’s Climate and Environment correspondent, Barbara Moran, moderates this conversation with McKibben about his new book, Here Comes the Sun.

Envisioning A Livable Future
Envisioning a Livable Future is an online, serial conference marking the 10th anniversary of Pope Francis’s encyclical Laudato Si’: On Care for Our Common Home. This groundbreaking document called climate change “one of the principal challenges facing humanity in our day,” proposed an analysis of “the human roots of the ecological crisis,” and advanced a new ecological vision for the challenges ahead.
The conference seeks to inspire lively interdisciplinary dialogues aimed at:
- Raising ecological consciousness, 
- Drawing attention to climate-forward initiatives, and 
- Encouraging both personal discernment and social action. 
Following the four spring 2025 events, fall 2025 events will address investment and finance for a greener future, the promise and perils of technology, and the role of the arts.
The 4 Spring Events take place on-line from 3:30 to 4:45 Pacific time:
- Wed. Jan. 29: The Current State of Climate Science 
- Mon. Feb. 17: The Contribution of Catholic Social Thought 
- Tues. Mar. 11: The Political Economy of Climate Change 
- Wed. Apr. 9: Environmental Politics
