Join us for our next meetup:
Thursday, Oct 4 - we'll talk TRANSPORTATION & Smart Growth. Join us in the Community room at Imagine Nation Brewing Co. 5 - 7 ish. Come at 5 pm to mingle and grab a drink. Informal round table conversation 5:15-6:15 or so. Then more time to visit. Free. Snacks provided. Plan to come! Sept 6 we talked RENEWABLE ENERGY and the conversation was ripe - but we didn't blog about it. We did mention that the theme will be carried forward to our Oct 20 Clean Energy Expo. Details very soon! August 2. Water Protection and Conservation and the nexus of water + climate + energy was our topic, with the Clark Fork Coalition and other water experts. The recap is on our blog here. June 7, 2018. Healthy Communities was our meetup topic. There is so much to talk about when we consider the nexus of health and climate. And we had a wonderful wide-ranging conversation - read our Intern Mattie's excellent BLOG. May 3, 2018: Local Food and Agriculture: we partnered with local non-profits and farm and food businesses to discuss growing food (and not wasting it) in a changing climate. Get on down to the Farmer's Markets this season and please, compost! April 5,: Urban and Wildland Forestry was the topic. Karen with Trees for Missoula and Marie from our Urban Forestry program shared so much. Check out our blog and this March 30 Missoula Current piece introduce you to the topic: Sustainable Missoula: Celebrate (and tend) our urban forest year-round March 1: Zero Waste: Home ReSource and the City of Missoula brought us up to date on Missoula's "Zero by Fifty" plan. We celebrated Logjam and new local businesses getting into the waste reduction game (thanks Missoula Compost Collection LLC!). We had a fantastic Q & A about all things waste. It'll need all of us to make it happen! |
Climate Smart Missoula hosts Monthly Meetups at Imagine Nation Brewing on the first Thursday of each month. Each meetup focuses on one of our "buckets". These informal gatherings are a great way to learn about what's happening on climate in our community and how you can get involved. Let us know if you or your organization would like to partner on any of the meetups - see calendar above.
