Tia & Erik attended the Elgin Sustainability Commission's Elgin Earth Summit on April 29th and helped bring an end to another successful Elgin Earth Month.
From their exhibitor booth, they invited event attendees to take the microphone and answer this question:
What does a more sustainable Elgin look like in the future?
There were 17 brave souls who seized the moment and provided their sustainability testimony. This group was diverse and their opinions reflect that fact.
While it is just fun to kick back and listen to what your neighbors envision as a sustainable place to live, perhaps the better question we should be asking ourselves is:
What should we do with this vision-casting exercise?
As usual, Erik weighs in with his opinion at the end of this special edition. In short, he suggests that it is time for the Elgin Sustainability Commission to provide leadership and create a new Sustainability Action Plan for the Elgin community.
The vision-casting is done. All that's left to do is create some goals and craft some strategies.
Giddy-up!
