JUST AND SUSTAINABLE LIFESTYLES: 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, and bring your own table setting if you can. Are "just & sustainable lifestyles" just an option for the privileged or a set of choices that can address everyone's needs and concerns? 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 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.
