Sarah Wean from Future Heights sent out the email below, and I am posting it here with her permission-- and with the goal of spreading the word to as many people as possible.

 
"There is an opinion piece in this month's Heights Observer which, I think, is worth a
look.  John Lentz calls for putting together an Innovators for Sustainability Conference for inner suburbs on the East Side of Cleveland, modeled after the recent, and successful Cleveland sustainability conference that brought over 700 people to the table to create not only ideas, but solutions and projects to build a more sustainable city.
 
I think this is a great idea.But it needs to be read about, and discussed, which is
what the mission of the Heights Observer citizen newspaper is all about.  So, I am sending
along a link to the story, and a link to the discussion forum where I hope you
will chime in on the idea.
 
Please pass this along to anyone you think might have an interest, especially to people who live in Shaker Heights, East Cleveland, South Euclid, Lyndhurst and University Heights.  The forum is a good place to begin the discussion and hear from community
stakeholders (you) whether it is a good idea, or not."
