FLCC> Sustainability in Motion: Green Transport -- Sustainable Tompkins Gathering 9/14

[Jennifer Dotson]

This should be a good gathering. I can think of several folks on this 
list who would be good "do-it-yourself" mentors or who might want to 
hear about progress on projects, or pose issues & make new connections. 
Plus, the potlucks have been *amazing*. Hope to see some of you there. -

SUSTAINABILITY IN MOTION: GREEN TRANSPORT
Sustainable Tompkins Community Gathering Thu Sept 14    6:00-8:30 PM

Sustainable Tompkins invites you to our monthly networking and learning 
gathering on Thursday, September 14th from 6:00 to 8:30pm at the 
Cooperative Extension on 615 Willow Ave. We'll begin with a potluck 
dinner - hopefully including many locally grown and produced foods- and 
informal networking to share our own interests and challenges with 
sustainability in transportation.

Doesn't it cost more and take more time to "go green" when getting 
around? What about safety? How does car sharing work? What's the 
connection between transportation and land use? Hear about local efforts 
to support sustainable transportation with a panel of your neighbors, 
government officials, and innovators and entrepreneurs. There will be an 
opportunity to connect one-on-one and in small groups with organized 
initiatives, contribute directly to their work, and get inspired with 
do-it-yourself ideas for all kinds of local and regional mobility. The 
Cayuga Waterfront Trail, TCAT, Curb Your Car Coalition, Ithaca Car 
Share, Recycle Ithaca's Bicycles, Cornell Transportation, and others 
will be there to facilitate discussion and contribute to identifying 
possible and existing solutions to local issues. Please join us and 
invite a friend or two!
