ACTION PROJECTS FOR A SUSTAINABLE ITHACA

Sustainable Tompkins invites you to our monthly community gathering.

Wednesday, November 14, from 6:30 - 8:30 PM

At the annex of the Unitarian Church, on 208 E.  Buffalo St. near Aurora St,
downtown Ithaca.
The event begins with a potluck dinner, including some local-food 
dishes provided by the students in the Green Cities courses in both 
Ithaca College and Cornell (So, if in a hurry, don't worry about dish 
preparation).

The program will highlight action-oriented student projects that 
support community groups working
to create a more just and sustainable region.
The projects include:
A bold proposal to improve mass transit and reverse sprawl and 
congestion in our area
Mapping of community resources that support healthy eating and active 
living in Tompkins County
Support for developing a "Neighborhood Cooperative Bloc" in Fall 
Creek Research into possible LEED "Leadership in Energy and 
Environmental Design" neighborhood certification of the proposed 
Southwest Park urban village.

This is an opportunity to see campus-community collaboration at its 
best, working together to create a positive future for all (and 
getting credit for it, too!)
