Our next downtown Lansing CADL library meeting is currently planned for August 27, 4-5 PM.

In August we might put together some handbills a la 350 Chicago's style and distribute them throughout the college areas as students, visitors, and more come back to these (potentially) corruptive institutions of economic empowerment and well-being. Get hype!!!!

Hope all is well, everyone, and if it's not, then here's to making things better! As noted mathematician John Mayers once Sayid at the international conference of Math Addicts-- "Fathers be good to your daughters. Daughters will live like you do. Girls become lovers, who turn into mothers, so mothers, be good, to your daughters, too. So mothers, be good, to your daughters, too." Merry Christmas, everyone! 😃!

There's a trend among cities to compete for who can get to 100% renewable energy the fastest. Grand Rapids has set a goal of 100% renewable energy by 2020 (http://grcity.us/enterprise-services/officeofenergyandsustainability/Pages/Energy.aspx). Lansing should not be left behind. Greener communities are happier and healthier communities (https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=greener%20communities%20are%20happier%20and%20healthier and/or https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=greener+communities+are+happier+and+healthier&btnG=&as_sdt=1%2C23&as_sdtp=). Happier and healthier people are more productive. The transition to a less polluting lifestyle will take much work and effort, but this is fantastic for jobs overall and for any economy that tries to tackle it.
