April 19 "Proposed Environmental Tax for
Washington” with CarbonWA
CarbonWA will be
presenting their revenue-neutral carbon tax campaign. A discussion with Q&A
will review how this proposal can drastically reduce carbon emissions, make our
tax code less regressive, how it fits in with other state/national climate
action proposals and how individuals can help to propel this effort to the
ballot in Washington State.
Environmental tax reform would:
§ Improve air quality and reduce airborne
toxins
§ Help slow ocean acidity and sea level rise
§ Reduce the state sales tax by a full percentage
point
§ Fund the Working Families Sales Tax Rebate to
help working families
§ Eliminate the Business and Occupation
(B&O) tax for manufacturers
§ Pay for these tax reductions with a carbon
tax of $25 per ton of CO2
April 26 “Brain
Food” with Marilyn Flint
More than 6 million U.S. residents have Alzheimer’s. By 2050 that number
will more than double. Many of us don’t learn natural ways to prevent and treat
dementia until it is too late for us or our loved ones. A naturopath, a
nutritionist, a woman who stopped her own dementia, and a woman who lost her
husband and mother to Alzheimer’s will share what they are learning about ow
the essential fatty acids the brain needs and what foods can provide the
balance of omega 3 and 6 that prevent and treat some brain diseases.
