“Sustainable” seems to be the buzz word everyone is using in this 21st century. And if you’re curious about a group called Sustainable Tucson, here’s their mission statement:

“a non-profit, grass-roots organization that builds regional resilience and sustainability through awareness raising, community engagement and public/private partnerships. Our members focus their action, advocacy and research through working groups addressing the unprecedented challenges of our time, economic meltdown, population pressures, climate change, and resource depletion.” Whew, that sounds like quite an ambitious mission.

Coming up:
La Vida Verde Picnic and Open Space Event
Saturday Nov. 7
11 a.m. to 3 p.m. (potluck picnic, with music till sunset)
Reid Park (between Country Club and Randolph Way, north of 22nd Street)
ramadas 14 and 15

Theme: “How do we unite our Tucson community during this Great Turning towards a peaceful and sustainable future?”

I didn’t know we were in a “Great Turning”– but I think I better find out what that means. Otherwise I may get left behind.

Sustainable Tucson holds monthly meetings at the Joel D. Valdez Main library, 101 N. Stone Ave. downtown, on the 2nd Tuesday of each month at 5:45 p.m. The next meeting is coming up on November 10.
