[Post-sustainability-committee] FW: Invitation to Suburban Sustainability Symposium at Hofstra University

[Scott Carlin]

Join us for Suburban Sustainability: A Symposium hosted by Hofstra University’s National Center for Suburban Studies and the Hofstra Cultural Center. The suburbs are not often thought of as places where sustainable practices thrive. Yet, there are examples all over the United States where suburban communities are making great strides. Symposium speakers include a range of experts who are working on real-world solutions to suburban sustainability challenges within the realm of environment, economic development, social equity and suburban politics. This one-day symposium highlights these communities and practices.
