Lecture: Kirstin Replogle, Urbana Sustainability Advisory Comission

The lecture originally scheduled, by Andy Keller, is canceled. Instead we have our long time member of the Prairie Group Executive Committee, to talk about another of her many activities.

So instead we shall hear about the City of Urbana's Sustainability Advisory Commission. Please come to hear Kirstin Replogle talk about the work of the commission, including the drafting of a Climate Action Plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in our community! The plan will need your input as it develops, and even more, your help when it comes time to roll it out.

After the discussion, the Prairie Group Executive Committee will meet to handle business matters -- you are welcome to stay and participate (or simply observe) in this part of the agenda, too!
