Both topics will be discussed at the Environment Committee, July 21,
Monday, 7:00 pm, SNG office
There's been a lot of concern about the penta treated poles turning up
throughout the neighborhood,
in alleys, along streets where neighboring households are planting
flowers, and across from the southeast
corner of Matthews Park. This is a hazardous chemical with
bioaccumulative and carcinogenic properties.
We are looking for an expert presenter, but have noone scheduled so far.
On the positive side, people in our neighborhood have access to organic
and locally grown food. To tell us
more about regional and state farmers specializing in organic and
specialty crops, food distribution networks,
and restaurants, both Metro and Outstate, that specialize in Minnesota
Grown, Margaret Schnieders, from
Renewing the Countryside (currently officed in the Ivy Building) will
present on this topic around 7:15.
Seward residents and others are invited to attend.
