Network Partners: fostering sustainability and environmental stewardship

Welcome to the Truckee Green Network

What the Network Is

This network creates a “green communication hub” highlighting the outstanding work organizations and businesses are doing, as well as ways for you to get involved. Truckee is at the forefront of transitioning to a more sustainable, resilient way of life that promotes both environmental and economic well-being. Many like-minded organizations and businesses in our community work toward these goals with sustainable-living and environmental protection/restoration projects.

Slow Food Lake Tahoe

Slow Food Lake Tahoe

Slow Food is an international movement to counteract our fast paced lives. Slow Food is good, clean and fair food. Slow Food members believe that food should taste good and be produced in a clean way that does not harm the environment, animal welfare or our health; and that food producers should receive fair compensation for their work.

Slow Food Lake Tahoe hosts the popular Dinners in the Barn events and promotes regional farmer’s markets and community supported agriculture (CSAs). Their fundraisers help the Truckee Tahoe Nutrition Coalition which promotes optimum health through nutrition and physical activity such as Fun Food Days, Harvest of the Month, and Fit, Fueled, Ready to Move and the Tahoe Truckee Unified School District Student Wellness Policy.

Slow Food Lake Tahoe is committed to promoting the environmental and health benefits of slow food and these four key ingredients:

1. Good: Naturally delicious food created with care from healthy plants and animals.

2. Clean: Grown and harvested with methods that have a positive impact on ecosystems and biodiversity.

3. Fair: Produced by people who are treated with dignity and justly compensated for their labor.

4. Fun: Connecting with like-minded community members who savor good food and good times.
