Sustainable Community Challenge: Democracy redux.
Following off of last week’s Sustainable Community Challenge to “read the local news” and to educate yourself on the issues you care about, the number one most important thing you can do this week is VOTE!
This election cycle has certainly been an interesting one, there has been a massive outpouring of money into the elections this time around from both sides on a scale that has never been seen before and the issues have certainly been contentious.
It is not our place to discuss or stance on issues or candidates, but in order for us to realize a more sustainable community and future it is necessary that we practice our civic duty to go to the polls tomorrow.
Sustainable Community Challenge: Democracy is Calling
It appears Frankenstorm Sandy will soon be upon us, and with it comes the cancellation of classes from noon today through Tuesday evening. Please stay safe indoors and keep an eye on emails and alerts from Vassar.
Sustainable Community Challenge: Week 1
“Change happens when people decide they love a place”
–Natalie Jeremijenko, Environmental Health Clinic
Welcome to a new series of weekly challenges, each week we will offer up a suggestion of how one can reduce their environmental impact and/or create a just and more sustainable community. These challenges will urge us as a community to investigate our relationship with Vassar, with Poughkeepsie, with the Hudson Valley, and with the planet.
