Announcing a series of posts about community sustainability and resiliency

Expect to see in the comings days a series of posts following the theme of community sustainability and resiliency to the effects of climate change.  Although some of the topics may not seem related they really are.  In our world of highly specialized careers, we often fail to see the connections between various environmental and social problems, and the proposed solutions.  For example, the image presented here is an historic icon located in downtown Glen Ellyn.  It is from the past, any yet it holds meaning for many residents.  No wonder this photograph has been circulated by others in Glen Ellyn.  Embracing our strong sense of place, of history, and of community will be part our theme.   Follow these posts, feel free to react and comment, and enjoy the journey.
