The Brays Bayou Association meets the third Monday of each month at The Gathering Place. Brays Bayou Association does not currently have a website.

All are welcome to Houston Renewable Energy Group’s monthly meetings! They will have a presentation on an interesting aspect of renewable energy in Houston, review HREG business, progress, and plan events. After the meeting, they usually spend some time socializing and finding out what is happening on the renewable scene in Houston from each other. Monthly Meetings are the best place for members to learn about HREG, ask questions, and provide suggestions.

If you are interested in volunteering or becoming a voting member, attending this meeting would be a great opportunity for you to learn more about what HREG does and how you can help. For more information, contact HREG.

The Interfaith Environmental Network of Houston invites people of all faiths to learn about our present ecological crisis and consider how our faiths can enable us to respond. What is our present ecological crisis? What specific issues are central? Using the United Nations’ Global Environmental Outlook, issued earlier this year, the speaker will address these questions. All attendees, of all faiths, will then engage in facilitated discussions of how our faiths both inform and enable our response to this crisis, thru both personal and collective action and advocacy. Lisa Brenskelle, the speaker, holds a PhD in engineering, and has worked on a volunteer basis in earthkeeping ministry in her Christian denomination for decades. Discussion facilitators are all leaders in earth care in their respective religious bodies. Join us for this thought-provoking event at 1st Unitarian Universalist Church. The presentation portion of this event will also be available online. Please register if you plan to attend either online or in person. For more information, please contact Lisa Brenskelle at gcs.lrc@gmail.com.

The Harris County Flood Control District is holding a series of Community Engagement Meetings related to the 2018 Harris County Flood Control District Bond Program. As part of the preliminary engineering process conducted near the beginning of each project’s development stage, and prior to a formal Preliminary Engineering Report being presented to Commissioners Court for approval, the Flood Control District will conduct a public meeting in a primary project watershed to solicit public comments about the project. Learn more about the Program and the meetings here or see the Facebook event for the final meeting below.

This meeting will focus on Regional Drainage Plan
for Major Tributaries and Major Maintenance.

• 10/24/19: Cypress Creek Watershed 2/2

Over the last year, major storms have flooded the City of Houston’s sewer system and poured more than 450,000 gallons of untreated sewage into our bayous. Over the last five years, storms have triggered more than 15 million gallons of the City’s untreated sewage to flood our bayous and neighborhoods, harming our water and health.

Join us on Wednesday, November 6th from 5:00 to 8:00 at Acres Homes Multi-Service Center to learn more!

We’ve partnered with Texas Housers to host a community meeting to provide an overview, answer any questions, and provide assistance to those wishing to craft comment letters. Dinner will be provided and children are welcome!

WHERE:   Acres Homes Multi-Service Center
6719 W. Montgomery Road, Houston, TX, 77091

WHEN:    Wednesday, November 6th
5:00 – 8:00pm

What to Bring:   Stories of your experiences with sewage backups in your neighborhood or home – if you have digital pictures, please bring them!

Tell the EPA by November 8th that you want a wastewater settlement that gives generations of Houstonians cleaner water, greener streets, and a strong buffer against storms like Tropical Storm Imelda.

Sewage spills like these have become the norm every time it rains – however, these spills are avoidable. The City of Houston must repair its long-neglected wastewater system.

The City of Houston’s $2 billion settlement with the EPA and the TCEQ will require repairs to sewage lines and wastewater treatment plants across Houston. Unfortunately, the settlement falls short in several key respects. There is still time to fix it.

This is your opportunity to make your voice heard. Take action and submit your comment today.
