Sustainability Solutions mini-conference
Sustainable solutions
for Houston are only a conversation away.
On Saturday June 18th, 2005, the Houston Sustainability Network will host the
Houston Sustainability Solutions mini-conference.
Houston Sustainability Solutions is a mini-conference that brings people together
to talk about sustainable solutions for the bioregions that intersect in Houston.
We'll begin with a series of conversations about our bioregions then later in
the evening hear from experts about some solutions to make Houston a sustainable
city.
Bioregional Conversation
1-5 pm
Bioregional Conversations
Talk about what's going on in your environment.
Houston is the nexus of three major bioregions:
the Piney Woods,
Gulf Coast Prairies, and the Post Oak Savannah.
Bioregions are
defined by unique soil, plant and animal life.
Feel connected with other concerned residents of these bioregions to work toward
solutions for improving the quality of life for people and nature.
Get connected with
other citizens working toward solutions for our bioregion.
