Activities:
Sustainable Arlington membership development. SA began in 1999 and has been active in a wide variety of energy, environmental and sustainability projects in the Town ever since. We are always interested in meeting other Arlington residents who want to know more about or take action regarding climate change, energy efficiency, renewable energy, and many other aspects of creating a more sustainable future for Arlington. Whether you have just one question or want to find your niche in the local quest for greater sustainability, we'd like to hear from you.
Publicizing EcoFest 2012. Last month (Dec. 2011), the Robbins Library information table became available unexpectedly so we quickly mounted a display announcing our March 31 event "Locavoracious ... About Food." The display included a 3-panel photo and test backdrop plus a selection of books from the Robbins Library collection on many aspects of food.
Maintaining the Sustainable Arlington website calendar. Brucie Moulton. The calendar covers a broad range of events related to the environment and sustainability in Arlington and throughout the greater Boston area. Occasionally, events in RI and NH are posted as well.
Updating SA's FaceBook postings. Charlotte Milan.
Liaison with Mass. Climate Action Network, the umbrella organization for all town and city sustainability organizations in Massachusetts. DeAnne Dupont.
Visit other local sustainability groups to connect, share ideas and open the door for future collaboration.
