"I think the environment should be put in the category of our national security.  Defense of our resources is just as important as defense abroad.  Otherwise what is there to defend?" 

~Robert Redford, Yosemite National Park dedication, 1985

 

The natural environment of Fremont, Union City and Newark -- like the rest of the Bay Area -- is under intense developmental pressure. Rapid growth imperils habitats, from the hills to the Bay itself.

Founded in 1971, the Tri-City Ecology center (TCEC) is your local leader in advocating sound environmental policies that preserve and maintain unique natural resources, clean air, clean water, and a high quality of life.

Please join us in protecting our environment!

Do something drastic, cut the plastic -- say no to plastic bags!

IThe Festival of the Arts’ Lemonade Booth is August 1 and 2, 2009

Lemonade Booth Co-Chairs Bob Wieckowski and Gus Morrison have an exciting new strategy. This year they are looking to find four enthusiastic “Lemonade Captains” to run the lemonade stand operations and oversee the volunteers. The Captains will supervise the booth, mix lemonade, re-stock ice, and handle cashbox problems. The four shifts are Saturday and Sunday from 10 am to 2 pm and from 2 pm to 6 pm. If you are not a seasoned veteran of the lemonade booth, they will train you. (It isn’t difficult) To volunteer, contact Bob’s office at RobertWieckowski@sbcglobal.net. You can also download our sign-up form and send it in.
