Events that Bring us Together for a Sustainable Future! 

What: “Clean Energy Green Jobs Rally!!”

Where: Arkansas State Capitol

When: Thursday March 10^th 12:30-3:30pm

This rally is for real! There is legislation gaining momentum in our legislature that could really put Arkansas on the map in a big way for sustainable living, clean energy and green JOBS!

Much of this has been made possible because there are some really savvy, motivated Fayetteville activists! Governor Beebe is actually meeting with the former Governor of Colorado to discuss how the green economy enabled Colorado to weather the economic typhoons by turning carbon reduction into poverty reduction! 

Don't miss this rally if you can help it. Our state government needs encouragement to take reasonable action because they are simply in uncharted waters. Plus, isn't it meaningful to be one of many agents of much needed change for our collective future?

THIS EVENT IS SPONSORED BY

THE GREEN ECONOMY GROUP.

Best of all this will be an opportunity to register as a member of Eco-logical Communities Fayetteville, which is revolutionary! At the very least it is a way to cut your utility usage and energy consumption. At its best and with adequate involvement Eco-logical Communities could be a way to unite an entire community for a complete transformation to sustainable living. 

This day will highlight how ceasing our dependence on fossil fuels would make society more just (locally & globally), revamp our economy to be sustainable & steady (not choked on growth), and make our world a more peaceful place (improving the security of all nations)!
