Ed: Remember to GET 'EM IN *EARLY*, PLEASE. Sust-mar gets so many great
messages now, that the following took 5 days to reach the top of the
*priority* queue. People receiving digest mode won't see it for another
week or so. It refers to a meeting that is today, and another meeting that
was 4 days ago. IF YOUR SUBMISSION DOES NOT APPEAR ON SUST-MAR, IT COULD
BE B/C THE EVENT WAS PAST BEFORE YOUR MESSAGE REACHED THE TOP OF THE
QUEUE. I will not penalize people who are on time, by allowing late
messages to jump the queue. ~Paul

Hey,

The phone-in portion of the February 01/01 edition of 'Maritime Noon'
examined the question of how to make our communities more sustainable.  A
variety of suggestions and insights were offered - by panellists and
callers alike - but there were certain recurring themes which proved
consentaneous. Chief amongst these were community agriculture, public
transit, and wise land use planning. 

As the name makes clear, the North End Community Garden Association
(NECGA) has always been aware of the benefits of bringing neighbours
together to sow and reap and tend the local soil. Recently, however, the
NECGA has decided to expand into other related areas - land use planning,
solar aquatic waste treatment, and so on. To this end, the Association is
looking for new members interested in laying the foundations of a new
organization with a broader mandate: working towards a sustainable way of
life in the Halifax Region (or, NECGA member Jason Kun puts it,
"eco-logical urban communities"). 

Everyone and anyone is welcome to join this initiative. There will be an
important NECGA meeting on Wednesday, Feb. 03 (details given below),
attendance at which would be a great way to get involved. If you are
intrigued by this project but can't make it to the next meeting, contact
Dave McCall at 422-5744 or <necga@ns.sympatico.ca>.
