Conservation Workshop Saturday At City Hall

Recycling, waste prevention and other resource conservation efforts will be the focus of this free workshop.

The City of Martinez is hosting a free workshop to support waste prevention, recycling, and resource conservation efforts.  The class, called “Sustainable Citizen,” is scheduled for Saturday, September 8th from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. in the City Council Chambers, 525 Henrietta Street.

The class is designed to educate participants on the importance of sustainability, promote its benefits to citizens and the environment, and teach simple and effective ways to incorporate sustainable practices in everyday life, including how such practices can save money.

The information shared in the workshop is intended to elevate understanding of recycling and environmental issues far beyond participation with basic curbside recycling. This class is well suited to anyone interested in becoming a better steward of the environment, and the whole family is encouraged to attend.

The Sustainable Citizen class is free but registration is required.  Please email SCrsvp@cityofmartinez.org or call the City’s recycling hotline at (925) 372-3531 to register today.

When in doubt, don't. Your safety when you travel is always the most important and when you areRead More concerned about something, asking is good, but remember any town now has people with nothing better to do and your car etc. might be just what they are looking for to break in or worse. I'm a worry wart, but, no one is safe all the time even in cute, sweet, old fashioned Martinez.

I have found it's very hard to find a parking spot there. Another negative is the number of theRead More "constant outsdoorsmen" types lurking all around. I've been confronted several times and worried about leaving my car there.

The Fire Crew worked very late into the night and into the next morning. The Police were alsoRead More working nearby, picking up some of the dead baby animals that were hit on the road, displaced by the fire.

Hi Robert, Thanks for dropping in and checking out the blog. The new Patch look is so 'new' as I amRead More still learning to navigate through. Just updated it and added the link to my film review. Thanks again. Cheers!

I am happy to know that Mr. Behan's review of "STID" is now available. Might we knowRead More where it is available? Perhaps I am just an Apple lovin' technopeasant, but despite my frantic serial clicking on text without links, I could not find the actual story. Alas and alack I may never know why there is no darkness in "...Into Darkness" (or Lightness). Oh, and welcome back Jim!

Do City Council members still get free parking passes as perk?

The main reason I don't go to any of the businesses downtown is the lack of parking. What littleRead More there is is taken up by the owners of these establishments. God forbid they park somewhere else less convenient so actual paying customers can frequent their businesses.

Jim, then that's yet another penalty for showing up for jury duty. The system needs a big overhaul.Read More
