Community Connection in Action

Save the date to join us for a day of fun celebrating sustainability and learning about what you can do now to help save the planet.

This year, the Mayor, City officials, and Youth Climate Advisory Board President will kick off the event with a short speaker program welcoming the community.

Learn about available resources for Palo Alto residents to make an impact and ways your neighbors are taking climate action to support achieving the City’s 80x30 Sustainability and Climate Action plan goals. Fun offerings include special library storytimes for kids and youth, Zero Waste trivia games, seed bomb and packet-making crafts, local youth sustainability networking, and hang out with Sequoia the Bald Eagle and Animal Control’s gopher snake. Come together with the community, connect with others, and take action.
