Sustainable Richmond is a FREE event created to encourage environmental consciousness by promoting the products, services, and programs offered by local eco-friendly organizations and businesses.

ALSO! Gallery5, in collaboration with the JRGBC, has created an ongoing campaign "Sustainable Richmond Community Forum" intended to promote dialogue between members of our community. Please use this forum to voice your concerns and promote ideas of a more sustainable Richmond!
 
This forum will be presented to Richmond's new Sustainability Director in hopes of bringing these issues to council in hopes that they will be utilized in future planning and private/public development initiatives.
 
You can continue to voice your concerns and begin new dialogues with members on the Sustainable Richmond Facebook Group page...
 
 
OR! You can attend the First Friday Opening Reception on Friday, June 4th at Gallery5 from 7PM-10PM and participate in our live interactive display upstairs.
 
All ideas and concerns will be recorded and given to city representatives in hopes if building a more sustainable future in
our city. Be sure to keep an eye out for our Sustainable Richmond Flower Pot Campaign at participating businesses.
