The luncheon will also feature entertainment, an address by Mayor Mary Verner and an amazing lunch that will include many organic and locally sourced foods.

Sustainable September is an annual month-long series of events dedicated to promoting sustainability in the Spokane community. It includes discussions, activities, presentations, and tours designed to build community and increase awareness so that Spokane can become more environmentallyand economically resilient in their everyday lives and business.
There are currently a diverse variety of environmental and community building non-profits in our area. Sustainable September’s goal is to bring many of these organizations together to build a united front in supporting the environment and health of our community. These local businesses and organizations are an important part of the Spokane’s community, and Sustainable September Spokane wants to recognize these businesses and organizations that are working toward a stronger sustainable organization.
Community-Minded Enterprises is partnering with several organizations and businesses to build a strong coalition in promoting action and education within the greater Spokane area. This year Sustainable September Spokane will be focusing on four tracks, Local Food, Eco-Buildings, Active Stewardship, and Eco-Generations. Each track will have a main event and a personal challenge to encourage personal sustainability.
For more information about events within each of the four tracks, please select the track from the drop-down Tracks tab page HERE. Tracks not active this year have been disconnected.
This year, Down To Earth is hosting the event calendar. You can go HERE to find event listings.
