JUST AND SUSTAINABLE LIFESTYLES:
  Building A More Just And Healthy Community For Us All! 

Sustainable Tompkins Monthly Gathering
Thursday March 13,  6:00 - 8:00 at the Southside Community Center 
305 S. Plain, Between Green & Clinton Sts.    **Dinner & Childcare 
Provided.** Potluck side dishes encouraged.

Presenters include: Green Guerillas, Ana Goldsmith, Jhakeem Haltom, 
Eric Rosario, Mary Loehr, Fernando DeAragon, Travis Brooks, Krishna 
Ramanujan,  Katie-Quinn-Jacobs.  

Are "just & sustainable lifestyles" just an option for the privileged 
or a set of choices everyone should and can have access to? Are there 
sustainable choices that can improve health, cut costs, and 
strengthen community, even if we can't afford hybrid cars and organic 
clothing? How can these choices further the cause of social justice 
and global cooling in our community and in our world? What are the 
unique contributions that each different culture in our area brings 
to creating our sustainable community?

  Come hear stories from local citizens of different cultures about 
their own lifestyle changes, get practical tips you can use right 
away, and explore these challenging questions. You are also 
encouraged to share stories of your own!

Sustainable Tompkins invites you to the first 2008 gathering of the 
monthly "Equity & Sustainability" series on Thursday, March 13, from 
6:00 - 8:00 PM at the Southside Community Center    305 S. Plain, 
Between Green & Clinton Sts.   The evening will begin with a dinner, 
with a delicious main course & salad provided. Potluck offerings will 
supplement the meal.  Childcare is provided

This month's event was made possible in part by a grant from the 
Sustainability Initiative at Ithaca College and is sponsored by the 
Southside Community Center

Sustainable Tompkins' Equity & Sustainability monthly gatherings take 
place on the second Thursdays of each month. They are a festive way 
to learn together about key areas of community sustainability, build 
new connections with people, and bridge some of the long-standing 
divisions in our community. They are a place for local citizens to 
network and learn about each other's interests and involvements in 
creating a more positive future for our community.
