City of Santa Barbara Sustainability & Resilience Department to Host "Sustainable Holidays Open House"
The City of Santa Barbara’s Sustainability & Resilience Department is delighted to invite the community to join us for a "Sustainable Holidays Open House" on Friday, December 1 from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM at our office located at 801 Garden Street, Suite 200. This festive event is designed to spread holiday cheer and promote sustainability while bringing our community closer together.
The "Sustainable Holidays Open House" is a free event for all to enjoy and will feature a variety of activities and offerings, including:
- Treats and refreshments for all attendees.
- DIY holiday craft stations, allowing you to create eco-friendly holiday ornaments, wrapping paper, and more.
- Photo opportunities with Santa himself!
- Meet Sustainability & Resilience Department staff and learn more about our mission and initiatives.
- More fun activities to be announced!
A limited number of artificial Christmas trees will be distributed to community members to borrow throughout the holiday season, aligning with our mission to reduce waste and promote a culture of borrowing instead of buying. While the trees on hand have already been reserved, we will be purchasing more to share with the community next year.
"We are thrilled to welcome the community to our Sustainable Holidays Open House," said Alelia Parenteau, Director of the City of Santa Barbara Sustainability & Resilience Department. "This event will provide family friendly holiday activities while highlighting the importance of sustainable living. We look forward to connecting with the community, sharing what the City is doing and what residents can do to help protect our environment, and providing simple tips for a sustainable holiday season."
