Huge 40+ Family Neighborhood Garage Sale August 23rd

This Saturday, August 23rd, Shanahan Neighbors for Climate Action, a south Boulder grass roots organization committed to addressing global climate change as a neighborhood, will hold its first annual Super Community Garage Sale from 8 a.m. - 2 p.m. Over 40 households will be participating, offering a wide variety of treasures from furniture to tools to kids' paraphernalia.

The emphasis of the sale will be on keeping items in use, rather than adding them to the landfill. Purchasing gently-used items reduces overall environmental impacts by extending the life of the raw materials, and maximizing the fossil fuels invested in the manufacturing and transportation that went into the initial production of these items.

The Shanahan Neighborhood is located south and west of Fairview High School. From south Broadway, turn west on Greenbriar, and follow the yellow signs posted just past the high school. You can reach the garage sale on the SKIP route. Multiple households will be participating on the following streets: Longwood, Lafayette, Telluride, Gillaspie, Juilliard, Iliff, Galena, and Smuggler.

Shanahan Neighbors for Climate Action is a grassroots neighborhood organization dedicated to creating a strongly connected community working together to foster a sustainable future. SNCA's approach to reducing emissions is focused on fostering a strong sense of community, and using this to encourage environmentally sustainable practices; providing a forum for the exchange of ideas and information related to the environment and human impacts on it; and creating a program focused on reducing the neighborhood's greenhouse gas emissions. Together, by creating a positive context for change, Shanahan neighbors are pioneering the way for what is possible for neighborhoods (and other groups wanting to make a tangible difference) to accomplish.
