Sustainable Tompkins invites you to a monthly gathering on "Justice
and Sustainability in Our Schools" on Thursday, February 12, from
6:00 - 8:30 PM at the Annex of the Unitarian Church, on 208 E.
Buffalo St. near Aurora St., in downtown Ithaca.
The free event will focus on justice and sustainability initiatives
in our schools, what they have in common, and how citizens can
support these vital but rarely linked efforts.
The evening will begin with a dinner that includes many local foods.

planetary habitat of interdependent life forms over and against the
pathos of the global competitive marketplace." -Edmund O'Sullivan
