A Summer of Green

Sustainable Tucson and Arizona Association for Environmental Education News and Updates

Summertime brings a new rhythm with film nights and meet ups around the Old Pueblo. Visit the website for ongoing activities and action groups meeting separately.

Water remains a central concern and so a contingent of Sustain-ers will be attending the Colorado River conference hosted by the Water Resources Research Center on June 24 at the Arizona Biltmore in Phoenix (http://ag.arizona.edu/azwater/events.php?rcd_id=65).

Members of Sustainable Tucson are participating in City/County water discussions, calling for incorporation of updated scientific data from climate change teams. Climate Code Red recommendations for action have been adopted by Sustainable Tucson leadership team. Read the full report on the ST website.

A Sustainability Plan for Tucson will be published on the Sustainable Tucson website by the end of the summer as a way of shaping community-wide discussion and action. The next three monthly General Meetings will be held at the Joe Valdez Main Library on Alameda in the community conference room. These are held on the second Tuesday of the month from 5:45 to 8 pm with networking beginning at 5:45. Check the website for dates and agenda.

Sustainable Tucson's 2nd Annual Green Festival is scheduled for October 25, Saturday, at the Tucson Convention Center. Contact Keely Sinclair at info@sustainabletucson.org.

The Arizona Association for Environmental Education is holding its Fall Event at Montezuma's Well in early September. This is a fabulous outdoor education weekend. Learn from the masters about the geological and ecological wonders of this beautiful Arizona treasure, and relax with fellow educators and interpreters. See the website to register: http://www.arizonaee.org/.

Have a great summer and stay cool!
