If any of the green group followers are interested, the organization Faith-in-Place is having an environmental advocacy workshop on Sunday, January 31, 2010 at Fourth Presbyterian Church (Chestnut & Michigan Ave) from 2-5pm. There will be an address on the legislative agenda for 2010 from Charles Jackson, Executive Director, Illinois Environmental Council and then some breakout sessions. The one I'm most interested in is the one on the 2010 Solar Strategy for the state of Illinois. It will cover some regulations that will help solar develop faster in our state. While I'm not so into the "advocacy" part of this workshop, I think participating would be a great way to network with some other interested parties, to see what others are doing out there and to meet some new folks... Even if we don't end up participating in advocacy campaigns, it's nice to stay in touch with what's happening out there.
Price is $15 per person - or 3 people per congregation for $30 - suggested amounts, no one turned away. Anyone game to go with me after church that Sunday? Let me know!
