Fairfield Mayor Catherine Moy was among the first people a few years ago to draw attention to extensive and secretive land purchases in Solano County by Flannery Associates. Who the buyers are, and what they wanted, has now become much clearer thanks to reporting from The New York Times and other media — Flannery wants to build a green “dream city” from scratch on rural, arid land in southeastern Solano County, one of the least-populated parts of the greater Bay Area and Yolo County’s southwestern neighbor. The backers include some of the wealthiest people in America, with ties to Silicon Valley.
Today on Davisville, Moy criticizes the idea, says the opposition is large and growing, and chides the buyers for conceiving big plans involving Solano County while not engaging the people who live there. “I have literally had several hundred people [in Solano County] contact me,” she says, "and about 95, 96 percent want them to go away. For a number of reasons.”
After this interview was recorded, Flannery began saying more about its plans. This SFGATE article has details.

Athletic events across the United States generate more than 40 million pounds of trash each year. Hear about my internship last season with FC Davis where I worked on ways to get the football club to Zero Waste home games. Jennifer Gilbert, Conservation Coordinator for the City of Davis, tells us about how event planners and each of us can do a better job at reducing what goes into the landfill at events. Then visit Germany which has one of the highest recycling rates in the world, highways with no speed limit, and the highest fan attendance in the world at its professional league soccer games.
