September Sustainability and Facebook

How do you keep up on current happenings?  Seems most organizations have a Facebook page these days.  Some are better at posting than others, but all indicate how recently and include information "About" the group.  Be sure and "Like" any for which you want ongoing updates.  Here are just a few good, local orgs including us!

August 2016

Hello!  Sorry if we've been out of touch for a while, but it's been a great, productive summer.  Hope the same for you. 

Most of our activity these days is documented on our facebook page.  Check that for the most current events, classes, and other Sustainability information. 

We will try to update this blog monthly at least.  Whenever a new local resource, physical or virtual comes to our attention, we'll add it here where you might refer back to it at a later date more easily than through the facebook page.

In the meantime, here are a few other, local facebook pages to like and follow:

Colorado Springs Utilities
Urban Farm and Garden Show
Carbon Footprint Calculator

And here's the page for the Colorado Springs Master Bike Plan.
