Met Council Climate Conversations

The first event on this is TODAY at 4:30 - sorry about the short notice,
I just got it in a newsletter from:

Alliance for Sustainability ( Sean Gosiewski and Terry Gips )
http://www.afs.nonprofitoffice.com/

Starting today through August 26 the Met Council will decide how to
help our cities become more climate-friendly and resilient. We urge
Council members to take a leadership role on climate and integrate it
into the Thrive MSP 2040 plan
 http://www.metrocouncil.org/Planning/Projects/Thrive-2040.aspx
and Metropolitan Council's work going forward. The Metropolitan Council
needs to hear that we support action on climate.
