Building Food Security: 101

Thank you for joining the Building Food Security: 101 Panel Discussion meeting on to hear about the challenges of food insecurity in our communities and learned about how residents can advocate for fresh foods at their local grocery stores, create farmers' markets, and connected with partners to achieve food security.



This virtual meeting provided residents with the tools and resources needed to combat food insecurities, improve nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture.


ALL LIGHTS ON, HOUSTON!

DO YOUR PART TO PROTECT OUR PIPES!

70% of sanitary sewer overflows in Houston are caused by clogs from fats, oils and grease poured down the drain and wipes flushed down toilets.

 

Put grease in its place! Dispose of leftover cooking waste with these easy steps: pour it in a jar, can, or bag, cool it, and once full, toss it in the trash.

 

Also, only flush the three P’s - pee, poo, and (toilet) paper. Everything else should go in the trash.

 

Together, we can all prevent clogs and harmful overflows! Learn more: www.ProtectOurPipes.org.
