Lunch and Learn with MountainTrue: Why should environmentalists support building more housing? CANCELED

Green Sage Cafe 633A Merrimon Ave, Asheville, NC

Due to the catastrophic events of Hurricane Helene, we are canceling events at this time. Please stay tuned for other opportunities in the future! We know that healthy communities exist within the context of a healthy environment — and right now, both are threatened. There is a housing shortage across the country creating an urgent need to build more homes. There is also a climate crisis, with greenhouse gas emissions threatening the stability of all our planet’s ecosystems and biodiversity. How and where our communities build these much needed homes for families will have implications for our carbon footprint. Join MountainTrue's Housing & Transportation Director, Susan Bean, to learn more about MountainTrue’s newest program, Neighbors for More Neighbors WNC, and about part of the solution to both these crises.

Lunch and Learn with MountainTrue: Single-Use Plastics in Asheville, NC

Green Sage Cafe 633A Merrimon Ave, Asheville, NC

Want to learn what MountainTrue has been doing to address single-use plastics and how you can help? Join us for a lunch and learn, hosted by MountainTrue and Green Sage Cafe.

We see them all over the road, clogging storm drains, and in the river, but plastics are more than just a trash issue. Single-use plastics are items of convenience, most of which are unrecyclable, that we may use for a few minutes before throwing them out. These disposable items wreak havoc on the environment but also pose serious threats to our health, our landfills, and the most vulnerable populations among us.
