Action on Sustainability—Tell them YES! By Marilyn McNabb, Concerned Citizen

At 5:30 on Tuesday, July 14th, both the Lincoln City Council and the Lancaster County Board of Commissioners, meeting together, will consider an amendment to the City County Plan adopting the principle of sustainability. One description of ‘sustainability’ is to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. Often when we try to influence public policy we are saying “no.” This amendment gives us a chance to say what we support and what we value.

Here are some ways you can help elected officials understand how important it is to us that future generations of Lincolnites live in a world as good or better than the one we live in today.

Go to the hearing. 5:30 pm in Room 113 in the County City Building, 555 S. 10th St. Speak up!
