“Gamera the Invincible”

 
It’s our last night at The Guild, and what other way to go out than with wholesale destruction brought on by a giant flying turtle?!?!? As tensions between America and the Soviet Union rise to a fever pitch, U.S. troops shoot down a Russian bomber which is flying low in an Arctic region. The bomber crashes, and its payload of hydrogen bombs explode upon impact. The blast releases and awakens Gamera, a gigantic fire-breathing turtle which had been frozen under the ice since prehistoric times. The newly revived monster makes his way to Tokyo, Japan, where he begins to lay waste to the city. Initial attempts to stop the testudine fail, forcing mankind to resort to Plan Z!!

The Greenest Building

The Greenest Building

Presented in conjunction with the Sacramento Old City Association. Local historian William Burg will also be speaking about local historic districts and Oak Park following the film.

Over the next 20 years, one third of our nation’s existing building stock (over 82 billion square feet) will be demolished in order to replace seemingly inefficient buildings with energy efficient “green” buildings.

Is demolition on this scale really the best use of natural, social and economic resources?

Or, like urban renewal projects of the 1960′s, is it part of a well-intentioned planning strategy with devastating environmental and cultural consequences?

“The Greenest Building” provides a compelling argument for conservation, rehabilitation and adaptive reuse of our existing building stock as the single most effective strategy for reducing, reusing and recycling one of our most important consumer products-our buildings.

Posted on May 7, 2012 in Access Sacramento, La Familia, Top News!
food access

Most people in Sacramento don’t have to think too hard about where their next meal is going to come from, but for many, figuring out how to provide healthy food choices for themselves and their families is a difficult task. The participants of La Familia’s Youth Voice program recently sat down and had an honest discussion about how they decided what they can afford to eat, and what they can’t, and what food access means to them. I hope you’ll enjoy listening to our talk.
