Building materials contribute an estimated 5 to 15 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. Imagine using materials that not only require less carbon to produce but also actively capture and store it. In California, architect Dylan Johnson and Yvon Chouinard, alongside a seasoned crew, constructed two houses using straw bales that would otherwise have gone to waste.

This innovative project demonstrates that natural building isn’t just better for the climate—it’s a superior way to build. Watch "Home, Grown" to learn more.

Join the Commonwealth Club on October 18, 2021, for a critical discussion on the COVID-19 pandemic. As the world seeks to end this public health crisis, businesses are navigating mandates and playing a vital role in community safety and vaccination efforts.

A panel of business and healthcare leaders, generously supported by Kaiser Permanente, will explore how the private sector can collaborate to combat the pandemic and foster economic recovery. They will discuss effective strategies and responses to mandates.

The Commonwealth Club of California, the nation's largest public affairs forum, hosts this event. For more information, upcoming events, and to support our mission, visit commonwealthclub.org.

For millennia, the Chumash people have been a maritime culture, renowned for their plank canoes, *tomols*, used to navigate the Channel Islands. European colonization nearly erased the craft of tomol building, but today, Alan Salazar and his Chumash and Fernandeño Tataviam communities are dedicated to reviving this vital knowledge for future generations.

Support the Tataviam Land Conservancy's project to build two new tomols. This initiative will unite the Fernandeño Tataviam and Chumash tribes through educational events and workshops focused on tomol craft, culture, and paddling.

On August 17, 2020, the Trump administration opened the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge's 1.5 million-acre Coastal Plain to oil and gas lease sales, possibly by December. This decision, amidst an oil glut and climate change concerns, targets the last 5% of America's previously protected Arctic Coastal Plain. It threatens to transform these wild lands into an industrial complex, jeopardizing the Gwich'in Nation's food security, spiritual, and cultural heritage—they call it "the sacred place where life begins." This move also endangers polar bears, the Porcupine Caribou herd, and migratory birds, marking a critical environmental and social justice conflict.

A video features Gwich'in community members from the 2016 Gwich'in Gathering, testifying against this development.
