[Winona] Global Warming

[Randy Schenkat]

Hello Online Democracy Members

Given the good discussion on Global warming 
online, you may care to join in a person to 
person one next Monday night March 12th at the 
Winona Middle School.     Also, the world cafe 
process might give us some ideas of how we might 
use some of those discussion techniques in WOD.


Below is  more information..  You can register on line or by calling in.

Call 507-457-6405 or email sustain at hbci.com.

It would help our planning to know by the end of day tomorrow..   

Thanks   Randy  Schenkat

Global Warming is on everyone's front burner 
locally these days. Jerry Miller, with the City 
Council's blessing, has joined 400 other mayors 
nationally in signing the  Mayors Climate 
Protection Agreement that calls on the city to 
curb carbon emissions and promote sustainability. 
The Frozen River Film Festival was chocked full 
of  films and presentations aimed at raising 
environmental awareness.  The Winona Daily News 
recently opined-Global Warming Debate-enough 
already; it's time to do something. Winona State 
University recently signed on to the American 
University and College Presidents Climate 
Commitment Document, which commits the University 
to assessing its climate footprint and then 
taking steps to reduce it. WAPS February 2007 
Inside Your Schools  Superintendent's Message 
says, "the ole orange and black is adding some 
green". 

Sustain Winona and WAPS Community Education 
invite you to come together to start doing that 
something.   Next month we  will host a World 
Café on Global Warming so that you can discover 
new people, ideas and action items focused on 
what we can do can do today to minimize the 
impact of global warming in the future.

A World Café is a unique process for 
collaborative discussion and action.  We will 
meet at café tables, share coffee and snacks with 
friends, neighbors and community members 
interested in creating a more sustainable 
community.

Our World Café  on Global Warming will be held 
Monday, March 12 from 6:30-9:30 p.m. at the 
Winona Middle School Commons.  The cost is free 
but pre-registration is required by March 8th. 
Call 507-457-6405 or email sustain at hbci.com.  To
