"Water, water everywhere" will be the theme for the fourth annual Organic Capital Sustainability Celebration Dec. 10.
Organic Sacramento will be hosting the awareness event that highlights Northern California water issues.
"Each year different local issues are addressed and the individuals and groups that have worked with these issues are acknowledged and honored," said William Brooks, Central Coast Resource Conservation and Development Council
The event will include food, live music and a silent auction as well as guest speakers.
"I'm looking forward to hearing more from the individuals that are personally involved with the issues, and those that have solutions to our current problems," Brooks said. "Twenty percent of California's energy is currently used in water pumping and treatment. The ramifications of this in times of high cost, non-sustainable energy sources is also of concern to me."
The funds raised will go to "Restore the Delta" to support education about upcoming water challenges, Delta farmers and agriculture and furthering other food and water causes, according to Brooks.
Restore the Delta is a grassroots campaign committed to making the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta fishable, swimmable, drinkable and farmable to benefit all, Brooks said.
The event will be held from 6 to 10 p.m. at Beatnik Studios, 2421 17th St. Admission is free but donations of $10 to $25 or more is suggested. For more information, visit the Sacramento for Democracy website.
