Sustainability In Local Government May 4

It would be great if Transition could get a table at this event! The $100 registration fee is pretty high. Are any Transition members part of the green building alliance? We could hit this hard with energy, rainwater harvesting and gray water. Chris

Fabulous find, Chris! Can you find out how many are admitted per table and we'll see how we can work $100 worth. Also, how can TM get into the line-up as a wholistic solution to sustainability...rather, regenerative sustainability? :)

The wholistic solution is permaculture and Peak Oil Awareness. I will check on exhibitors rate. Chris

Greetings, I talked with Elizabeth at Wisconsin Green Building Alliance. The cost for outreach exhibits is $75 for two attendees. This includes a table. We would be able to outreach in between the agenda breaks. She like to see training and outreach material related to Peak Oil and Permaculture. By the way, Jess you know Elizabeth from High school. Contact Elizabeth to register. 414) 224-9422. ( Plenty of room for tables) I will not be able to attend due to work. Contact Steve Kieth to try to book a workshop. steven.kieth@milwcnty.com
