Sustainable Pacific Grove

A FUTURE VISION FOR PACIFIC GROVE

So let's imagine Pacific Grove as a sustainable community, a place where residents eat locally grown food and shop locally for their daily needs. Parks are surrounded with edible landscapes. An open-air market bustling with people buying fruits, veggies and local crafts offers a place to find fresh items grown close to home.

SAFE DISPOSAL of MEDICINES

DO NOT PUT OLD MEDICINES INTO THE TOILET.
When medicines of any type go into the sewage system, from a toilet or whatever, the sewage processing does not remove them from the water. 80% of U.S. waterways tested by USGS were found to have traces of common pharmaceutical drugs.

WE ARE

Sustainable Pacific Grove (SPG) is a grass-roots, volunteer group undertaking projects to help Pacific Grove become more self-reliant and sustainable. In response to concerns about the end of cheap oil, climate change, economic uncertainty, and resource limitations, Pacific Grove residents have come together to prepare locally.
