Thanks to you, our chapter can afford to be generous towards the community around us. Since 1992, CGTV has allowed environmentalists to get their message across by working together to create an environmental talk show. The coalition has produced 128 shows which air regularly on local access cable channels. A copy of each program is also available at the Peninsula Conservation Center in Palo Alto. The shows are produced in Palo Alto by volunteers from the participating organizations.
Volunteers start with working cameras, lights, switchboards, etc.
The coalition is looking for new volunteers. Training is provided, and it's a great chance to learn about the diversity of environmental issues in the South Bay and beyond. In this summer's edition of The Avocet , we reported on a chance for more protected open space along the Guadalupe River in the City of Santa Clara. At a key meeting in August, it seemed our efforts will be rewarded. Every one of the six council members attending called for the developers to include open space in their proposal before bringing it back to the city for further consideration.
