Alternative Transportation and Greenways
Glasgow's neighborhoods are increasingly populated by individuals who are interested in a pedestrian lifestyle. We have already been able to convince the local Planning Commission to establish a Master Plan for the long range goal of establishing new pedestrian connections between local neighborhoods, parks, schools, and downtown shopping. We will continue to press for the adoption and implementation of the plan. #neighborhood #greenway #green #walking #transportation #exerci

Sustainable Glasgow's recommended reads
96 pages of interviews, essays, reports from entrepreneurs and investors … and even a few paintings and a poem. Sharing the beauty of an emerging public conversation about food, money and the soil. Published twice a year. More engaging than a single blog post, more thought-provoking than a newsletter. “This Journal, like the public conversation that it reflects, is just what we need. Authentic, nuanced, provocative, informative.” ELIOT COLEMAN, AUTHOR OF THE NEW ORGANIC GROWE
Sustainable Energy
We advocate a transition to a system of reaping electric power from Glasgow's resources such as landfill gas, waste water treatment combustible gases, and local biomass resources, while steadily improving our water quality and local farm businesses in the process. #SustainableGlasgow #energy #resuse #reduce #recycle #water #quality #healthy #family #farm #business #local #improvement #investing #clean #gas #gases #industry #commercial #residential #electric #electrical #elect
