Greg Pace
Hello everyone,
I have not heard any activity from Sustainable Reynoldsburg lately, but want to pass on some information about activity that is going on here.
Alanna Hartzok, co-founder or Earth Rights Institute (http://www.earthrights.net/ ), is presenting in Columbus.
DATE/TIME: Wednesday, December 29th, 7:00pm
LOCATION: Columbus Mennonite Church, 35 Oakland Park Ave. (Clintonville, on High Street, N. of North Broadway)
Love offering accepted
Alanna Hartzok, the co-director of the Earth Rights Insitute and author of the book The Earth Belongs To Everyone, is coming to Columbus. Alanna will be speaking at the Columbus Mennonite Church on Thursday Dec. 29th, at 7:00pm. She has been involved in advocacy through the United Nations for the practices favoring the principles of the commons. She characterizes her approach as being similar to Michael Shuman, includes the insights of Henry George, and well as the effects of fair and balanced trade. Re-Imagining Economics is the organizing sponsor, and will be looking for local co-sponsors and people to speak briefly about related local initiatives. The timing on this event is not something that was chosen but is the side benefit of her being in the area for a non-public conference.
