At last week’s Sustainable Flatbush Town Hall Meeting, six committees were established to focus on different areas:

• R3 (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle)
• Livable Streets
• Energy Efficiency
• Businesses
• Schools
• Gardening

Next Monday, November 26, at 7pm, the Gardening Committee will have a kickoff meeting.

There are three main items on the agenda:

• Brainstorm ideas about what the committee can do. Sustainable Flatbush’s mission is to educate, advocate, and act on issues of sustainability in our area. What are our ideas for how gardening relates to that mission?
• Identify a couple of things we can do immediately, especially over the winter
• Identify co-chairs for the committee who will coordinate with the other committees and larger organization and recruit and support committee members.

If you want to attend next Monday’s meeting please email me at [xrisfg at gmail dot com]. I’ve setup a Google group for committee planning. If you can’t attend next Monday but want to help with gardening committee planning, let me know as well.
