Join us in the Imagine Nation Brewing Community Room at 5 pm to mingle, short program starts ~5:15, then stay to chat and connect. We provide snacks, INB has tasty drinks. Bring your friends. RSVP HERE or just come!
April 5,: Urban and Wildland Forestry is the meetup topic. Karen with Trees for Missoula will be there and we have other cool things in the works. Join us. 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 was the Meetup topic. Home ReSource and the City of Missoula brought us up to date on Missoula's "Zero by Fifty" plan which is close to completion. 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! February 1: We talked about green building, energy efficiency and energy conservation. We'll report back on ways to get involved on everything from our new Energy Challenge (coming later this year) to weatherizing manufactured homes.
