National Town Meeting for a Sustainable America!
You're invited to the National Town Meeting for a Sustainable America!
Across America, communities, businesses and organizations are finding ways
to achieve economic prosperity and a high quality of life without
sacrificing our environmental or social goals. People and organizations
are working together to meet the needs of present generations without
compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs.
These sustainable projects and practices are working to create a better
today and tomorrow and are the focus of the upcoming National Town Meeting
for a Sustainable America to be held in Detroit, Michigan on May 2-5. This
event will spotlight successful sustainable actions that can be replicated
elsewhere. Simultaneous events will also occur in communities across
America and will connect with the Detroit meeting through interactive
technologies.
You are invited to become involved in the following ways:

4. Make a commitment to sustainability, such as recycling, buying locally
grown organic food or forming a new partnership with a variety of
stakeholders to address the "livability" and quality of life needs of your
