A Cool Petaluma & Blue Zones Project Petaluma Collaboration

Do you have clothes with holes? Knitting projects to finish? Buttons to re-attach? Bring your knitting needles, sewing kit, or even your sewing machine and mend with us! 

Our Cool Team program brings neighbors or friends together so that we can take care of each other while we take care of the planet.

Enthusiastic community members step up and join one of our free half-day trainings to become Team Leaders. They then gather their neighbors or friends and kickstart community climate action by making a fun, welcoming environment for people to get curious, explore ideas, and take action together.

What if We Get it Right? by Ayana, Elizabeth Johnson.

Sometimes the bravest thing we can do while facing an existential crisis is imagine life on the other side. This provocative and joyous book maps an inspiring landscape of possible climate futures.

Because this has so much good, juicy content, we are dividing our book club conversation into four parts.

Cool Petaluma is excited to be partnering with The Floathouse to offer a very special adventure! Come spend the morning with us on a special guided tour that will take us through the river’s fascinating history, from its role as a vital trade route to its current transformation into a hub of recreation and environmental restoration.

Are you interested in our Cool Teams program but not quite ready to commit?

The coffee, tea, and pastries are on us as we gather to learn more about the program at the organic french bakery called Sarmentine. We are excited to show you how having fun as a Cool Team can inspire meaningful action in our communities. 

“Join or Die” is a documentary film about the importance of joining a club and the health of American democracy. The film follows the story of social scientist Robert Putnam and his research on the decline of community connections.
