Lets use this thread to post when we are available to sit and talk face to face. As we are a state wide group I understand we can not all be there. I think it is important for us to spend time in person if possible.
It will serve two purposes, (1) if you are not personally acquainted with the other members it gives you a chance to become so * we can plan day trips for other areas of the state* (2) It will give us a chance to socialize brainstorm.
Why not have the chattanoogans, and anyone else who can attend, meet up before the Chattanooga Green presentation Jan 15?
Chattanooga Green Committee Presents Plan to Mayor Jan 15
Body: On January 15th at 1:30 pm the Chattanooga Green Committee (CGC) will present Chattanooga’s Climate Action Plan to Mayor Ron Littlefield.
The Climate Action Plan represents a year of collaborative efforts by the CGC, local and regional experts and the general public. It aims to lower Chattanooga’s carbon footprint and begin moving the City on a pathway towards sustainability - a path that will simultaneously benefit the environment, the local economy and all citizens of this great city. The document contains 47 recommended action items. Many of the action items were developed from the Public Visioning Event held last April. Many of you receiving this email attended that event, others joined later. Regardless of your previous involvement, the hope is that you will come out and support the holistic vision that we have collectively developed. The more people the better. This is your chance to show your elected officials that you care about climate change, the environment and the health and wellbeing of all generations of Chattanoogans. It is also a chance to show that you are willing to work together to reach this goal. Spread the word; bring your friends and families. A Q/A session will follow the brief presentation of the Climate Action Plan allowing you the chance to participate in this important event.
In the meantime visit: www. chattanooga. gov/chattanoogagreen and download a copy of the interim report that was released last June. The Climate Action Plan will be available on the website after the 15th.
Is this still going on? I'll be moving to Knoxville June 20th and would love to sit down with some folks. It will be a little while before my schedule calms down, and a while before I can drive to Chattanooga, but I am eager to meet with some folks!
There are also online tools - I'm on skype at williamrwilson and on several other platforms.
