More from John C.

Hello once more Greenville and surrounding residents.  This is John C. with one more informational paragraph as a member of Sustain Greenville.  In this last installment I would like to convey that we are a fully volunteer group that is welcoming and casual.  At our monthly meetings we discuss upcoming projects, talk about new learning a member may have gained information about, and discuss other activities we may want to tackle.  We are a "minimal push" group knowing that everyone has busy lives, but also encourage one another to step out a little bit and take the small, individual steps to make a difference.  There has been scientific progress, corporate progress, and awareness progress; but these are slower moving gears of a very large machine.  Sustain tries to bring that progress to the grass-roots, individual level.  I am not perfect (e.g. the woodchuck digging under my shed, the yellowjackets building a next in my soffits), but I have learned to not step on caterpillars (throw them into the grass as they are protein snacks for the birds), started shifting my landscape to natives, reduce the exterior night lighting, and practiced removing damaging insects in more environmentally friendly ways.  I think you would have an enjoyable time, and encourage you to come check us out--second Thursday monthly, 6:30pm, Christus Church (until the Village Hall completes its remodeling).
