Second, this occurred largely because of the reinforcing strategies of our city-wide neighborhood work with "Accelerate 77" and our leadership development program with universities. As I think many of you know, over 220 students were involved last year in the doing the crucial field work for A77. (If this is news to anyone, let me know I'll elaborate.)

Terry, this is great news. I'm forwarding this on to Rachael Green and the others on our local sustainability team. I'm sure this will generate some good questions for your meeting with us next week. Keep up the good work. Randy Sent from my iPhone On Mar 9, 2013, at 4:46 AM, Terry Bergdall <bergdall2@gmail.com> wrote:

What a long and arduous journey from the eighty's and the reading of Voluntary Simplicity by Duane Elgin. Back when in-kinded styrofoam meant coffee for a group without dish duty. I'd like to add the nearly 100 Chicago "gangsta" & African & Iraqi refugee youth who, in the summer of 2009, complained all the way to a butterfly garden in the parking lot, went office to office in Kemper & around Uptown doing a "how green are you?" survey. They suffered further punishment having to re-sort garbage from compost from recycling when they unconsciously tossed the remains of breakfast or lunch into one bin-though I imagine the categories stuck. (As an aside, many also wrote better ORID conversations than some of the adults I've trained.) Kudos to all who, over the years & of late, have maintained "the building" as a sign of HOPE.
