Judy Bailey of the NAACP and Sustainable Monroeville, and Elisa Beck of Sustainable Monroeville partnered to do a presentation for students in six sixth grade classrooms at Mosside Middle School (MMS) today. We talked about the meaning of Sustainabilty as encompassing the triad including economy, social justice and environmentalism. We asked these young adults if they had ever heard of either organization, and how many of them had vegetable gardens. We encouraged them to come to our meetings with their parents, grandparents, and guardians, and get involved in community projects. We also challenged them to talk to us through facebook if they are allowed to do so, and by e-mailing to sustainablemonroeville@gmail.com.
Let the conversation and action begin! Thanks Pam Barroso a parent at MMS and a Sustainable Monroeville member for skillfully organizing this event. We are on the road to Monroeville becoming a proud Transition Community!
Please join us at the next meeting of Sustainable Monroeville on Monday evening, June 7 at 7:00 PM at the Monroeville Public Library to meet some of your neighbors and hear Moni Wesner speak on Mushrooms. Sustainable Monroeville meets once a month at the Monroeville Public Library. The meeting schedule is listed at www.sustainablemonroeville.com Join us on facebook!

I work for the Penn's Corner Farm Alliance. We are hoping to add a Community Supported Agriculture drop in Monroeville in short order! Would you be willing to post about it on your blog?
