Sustainability on Parade

Sus-tain-a-bil-ity [suh-stey-nuh-bil-i-tee], noun

1. the ability to be sustained, supported, upheld, or confirmed.
2. Environmental Science.  the quality of not being harmful to the environment or depleting natural resources, and thereby supporting long-term ecological balance.

Based on that definition, The Sustainability Parade scheduled for Saturday September 24 from 10:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m. certainly qualifies.  The "Parade" begins at Sequoya Public Library with a tour of the library's "green" construction methods.  A marching band will then lead the group to the Midvale Heights neighborhood where several residents will offer advice and tips on sustainable gardens, landscaping and construction.

The Sustainability Parade is part of a larger program called "Moving Planet".  The Sustainability Parade is one of four events in the Madison area.  For more information, contact organizer Judy Skog at TransitionMadisonArea1@gmail.com
