| Neighborhood Sustainability
Conference planned for Sat, Jan 17, 2004 at Augsburg College, Minneapolis Please mark your calendars and tell others in your neighborhood. We are expecting 500 neighborhood volunteers, resource groups, city staff and elected officials from St. Paul, Minneapolis, and other Twin Cities communities to attend the event to explore how we can enhance the long term environmental, economic, and social vitality of our neighborhoods. The purpose of the conference will be to launch implementation of practical sustainability initiatives by resident volunteers and ensure that neighborhood residents strengthen municipal sustainability indicators and initiatives. At the event, neighborhood volunteers will share projects they are working on in the areas of community gardening, tree planting, traffic calming, pedestrian and bike access, transit-oriented development, waste reduction, alternative energy, green buildings, watershed protection, environmental justice, environmental health, and other topics. The previous conference held in January 2002 attracted the participation of more than 450 neighborhood and environmental volunteers. If you have a project that you’d like to share, please contact Sean Gosiewski sustainability@visi.com or 612-331-1099 x1. |
