Sustainable First Mondays!
February 4, 7:00-9:00pm, The
Commons, Bjune Drive
Join us
for another stimulating evening in our regular public forum series. In January (see below), with 60 people present, we screened the transportation segment of
the film, A Convenient Truth: Urban
Solutions from Curitiba, Brazil.
This month, by popular demand, we will
screen the final segments: recycling, affordable housing and open space. A Convenient Truth
focuses on innovations that transformed Curitiba into one of the most livable
cities in the world.
Following
the film we will participate in a creative, brainstorming activity with
students from Bainbridge Graduate Institute who are working in partnership with
Sustainable Bainbridge to create a community inventory of sustainability
resources. We will also share general announcements, and end with Open Space (a great way for
participants to network, build relationships and organize projects).
