https://www.eventbrite.com/e/microplastics-and-you-are-your-water-and-beer-safe-tickets-46820365975

Please join us for our free Lunch & Learn Forum on Thursday, to explore the topic of microplastics contaminating our drinking water sources.

Microplastics are found around in drinking water sources around the world, including right here in Minnesota drinking water, fish and even beer. Learn about the growing body of research in this area from University of Minnesota researcher Mary Kosuth and the policy implication from State Senator John Marty. We will also have a brief D’var Torah from Rabbi Sim Glaser.

This Forum is part of a series sponsored by the Jewish Community Relations Council of MN and the Dakotas and the Alliance for Sustainability.

With each of our city commissions doing so much great work this summer helping your cities include resilience goals and strategies (energy, water, active living, etc.) in your city’s comp plan updates, the volunteers from Citizens for Sustainability are inviting everyone to meet up to share your progress and next steps

Energy Planning Templates are now available for Cities 

Minnesota’s Local Government Project for Energy Planning (LoGoPEP) builds upon existing efforts to engage local governments in committing actionable strategies for energy and greenhouse gas emissions. LoGoPEP has developed draft Energy Planning Guide Book and a draft Energy Planning Workbook that, when completed, will be available to all Minnesota cities wishing to include energy in their planning documents. Download them at http://allianceforsustainability.com/oct24presentations/
