Dear Friends (and Organizers) of the Just Metropolis Conference: Click here to open up the Toward a Just Metropolis site

Happy New Year! Over the past six months, many of you have helped us take the first steps towards an amazing conference in June in the Bay Area. Others of you have expressed interest in being part of the effort. Through much hard work, we are now on the cusp of a wonderful event - now comes the hard work of publicizing the conference and getting people to submit workshops. This event will only be as good as the people who attend.

Please take a few moments to send an email to your colleagues, networks, listserves, universities, etc. The call is below, but I encourage you to take a few minutes to write your own message - it will mean a lot more.

The other thing you can do is to promote the website - www.justmetropolis.org - through your blogs, gmail chat, facebook, email lists, etc. 
 
These next six weeks will be critical. Please help make this an amazing event by encouraging people to submit and attend.
 
Best, and thanks,
Alex

Reduce Your Personal and Community Carbon Footprint with the Ecology
Center

You know there's a lot you can do to fight climate change but you're just
not sure where to begin. Or maybe you've already got a small footprint and
you're ready to take community-level action. Benefit from the support,
information exchange, and camaraderie of your fellow community members as
well as the resources offered by the Ecology Center, all while reducing your
carbon footprint, getting *free membership to the Ecology Center* if you
haven't already been a member, saving money, and meeting your neighbors.

Join an upcoming Climate Change Action Group at the Ecology Center:
Mondays from 6-8pm: January 12th, 19th, 26th and February 2nd.

*How do the Climate Change Action Groups work?
During four weekly sessions, you will join with a small group of Bay Area
residents to calculate your carbon footprint, create a measurable personal
action plan to reduce your footprint and make substantive changes in your
community. Participation and facilitation services are free. A $10 fee (at
cost) will be charged for the Low Carbon Diet workbook. No one turned away
for lack of funds.

How do I sign up?
Write to debra@ecologycenter.org and pass on this invitation to your friends
and colleagues. For more information, visit http://www.ecologycenter.org

Interested in having the Ecology Center facilitate a group in your
community?*
Invite the Ecology Center to facilitate a Climate Change Action Group at
your workplace, congregation, in your neighborhood, or with another
community group. If you have approximately 10 committed participants, we'll
lead a group for you free of charge. Contact debra@ecologycenter.org

*Background on the Ecology Center
The Ecology Center provides the public with reliable information, tools,
hands-on training, referrals, strategies, infrastructure, and models for
sustainable living. Our programs enable people to adopt practices that are
environmentally and socially responsible. We run Berkeley's residential
curbside recycling program, the Berkeley Farmers' Markets, Farm Fresh Choice
food justice program, Terrain magazine, EcoHouse demonstration home and
garden, the Ecology Center Store, and a variety of Information and Climate
Change Action programs.

We hope you can join us!*
