New Website Format

Hello all,

you will notice that the website is a bit shorter now. I've finally converted all our past updates into a blog, which you can see by clicking here. I've moved the interesting links section to the blog as well to make this site more manageable.

Looking back we've done a lot in the past 7 months! It was fun to see that a lot of the areas people said they wanted to know more about have been covered in our past meetings.

So far we've had speakers on these topics:
Urban Gardening - Ron Berezan
Alternative Energy - Harold Verburg
Greening Your Home - Shanthu Mano, Stephani Carter, & Andrea Jones
Sustainable Economics - Mike Nickerson
Eco-Villages and Co-housing - Lorie Saito & Shanthu Mano

and coming up this fall...
Alternative Economics
Buy Local
Food Security

And there are so many things happening in the city...

A food security conference is being organized as we speak,
so is a conference on local governments for sustainability,
There will be a Shop Local month to spotlight our local businesses,
Eco-villages are being built and Co-housing Associations are being formed,
Alternative energy choices for our utilities are around the corner,
a closed loop paper recycling facility is being built - the 1st one on the continent!
and so much more, I could go on for pages.

It's an exciting time to be here, and we invite you to join us on the journey!

Tad & Maureen
