Sustainability Talk Tonight

Sustainability is all the rage right now among government policy wonks (apparently fiscal sustainability is just beginning to enter into the discussion). If you are interested in the subject, you can hear Michael Shea, chair of Claremont's Sustainability Task Force, speak at 7pm tonight at the Active Claremont meeting in the Claremont Public Library.

The library is located at 208 Harvard Ave., directly across from Claremont's City Hall.

Active Claremont has a new website, by the way. It gives a little information about the organization:

About Us

Active Claremont attempts to define issues which are of major interest to the citizens of our town. Some of the issues of concern involve local taxation, city revenues, city policies, regional issues that may impact Claremont, controversial projects, and proposals and policies of the city government.

To bring specific local issues and information before the public, the organization holds nine programs annually featuring speakers who have working, in-depth knowledge of issues affecting the daily lives of all our citizens. As part of our efforts to keep the voters informed, we also sponsor candidate forums for local elections including city council, school board, water board, and community college board of trustees.
