You don't have to move out of your neighborhood to live a better one

Over the years, we have lost many fine neighbors to the lure of "a better neighborhood", a bigger house, a better place to raise children. You may enjoy this event. Thanks, Michele, for letting us know about it!

PLAN-Boulder County would like to share a local event that may be of interest to you.

The Cultural Events Board, Arts and Sciences Student Government, and CU Environmental Center are hosting an event with special guest Majora Carter entitled "Green the Ghetto". Described as a “Green Power Broker” by the New York Times, award winning Majora Carter’s work is founded on the principle that: “You don’t have to move out of your neighborhood to live in a better one.” As increasing numbers of Americans find themselves unable to sell or buy homes, this goal is gaining more and more relevance. You can view Carter's TED Talk's from 2006 and 2010 at TED.

The event will be held on Wednesday, February 13 at 7pm in the Glenn Miller Ballroom and it is FREE and open to the public.

For more information on Majora Carter or the event, visit the CU Event Page.
