Public forum: Michiana's Sustainable Future
Sponsored by the Community Forum for Economic Development
On March 18, Dr. Mike Keen, Director of the Center for a Sustainable Future at IU South Bend, and James Summers, CEO of the Michiana African American Chamber of Commerce, will share information on sustainability and its real impact on our community.
The program will begin with a viewing of a brief video on Environmental Justice, “Majoria Carter: Greening the Ghetto”. Following the Video, Dr, Keen and Mr. Summers will share information on what is and will be happening in Michiana as it relates to green and sustainability projects. They will share information about the April 21 and 22 Michiana Greentown and discuss FREE energy audits, how they work and how they can save you money. They will also share information on programs that can have an immediate impact on your family’s health and will discuss upcoming projects that profit local community-based businesses.Most importantly, they will ask questions to better understand what we, the community, want and need to make our communities healthier, cleaner and more livable. Their goal is to listen, learn and take the input we provide to be incorporated into the planning and implementation of sustainability projects throughout the Michiana region.Join us. Tell your friends and neighbors. Bring your families. Come, listen, learn and contribute. This is your chance to shape help Michiana’s Sustainable Future. The forum will be held at the LaSalle Branch Library (3232 W Ardmore, South Bend) at 7 pm.
