May 2009
The growing / gardening / busy season has begun. Most of us are too busy with hands-on projects now to commit to more meetings. We will continue to look for opportunities to invite those with time and interest to get together occasionally during the summer.
Please continue to use this wiki site to post ideas and work collaboratively with each other. We hope to start regular meetings again in the fall. Happy Gardening.










Red Cedar Sustainable Communities is dedicated to developing and preserving our cities, towns, villages and rural areas for a sustainable future.
** We are in the process of establishing a Google Group to help us continue our discussion in between our meetings. Some of the folks who are involved in our group prefer email over participating on this wiki, so this should help out. We are also behind on posting our summaries of the past couple of meetings - we hope to catch up within the next couple of weeks! If you are interested in joining our Google Group, please go to the MEMBERS page, and send a message to one of us w/your name and email address, and we will be happy to relay this to our Google Group facilitator. You will then receive an invitation to join our group. Thank you for visiting our site!



Group Goals
(Please add to list)

  1. Develop ideas on embedding sustainable principles into the nine Barron County Comprehensive Plan elements.
    1. We decided to first focus on one issue - the food network and apply the Natural Step Framework to this issue as it relates to the comprehensive plan.
  2. Evaluate appropriate tools for our online communication. Two other sites have been established which we need feedback on. <http://redcedarsustain.ning.com/> and <http://groups.google.com/group/redcedarsustain>. Please look over these sites and play with them. There is nothing on them that can be messed up. If you know of other tools that may be better, let us know.

I tried posting another draft mission statement on that page. I'm not sure if it worked or not. the easy edit tool bar kept getting in my way and I couldn't get it to let me cut and paste.

Draft Mission Statment for Red Cedar Sustainable Communities

Red Cedar Sustainable Communities (RCSC), an organization of people living in the watershed of the Red Cedar River in northwest Wisconsin, is dedicated to developing our cities, towns, villages and rural areas in a sustainable way. To us, "sustainable" means that, as much as possible, we will produce our own food, generate our own energy from renewable local sources, and recycle our own wastes. We believe that the goal of sustainable communities is to preserve our natural environment, including its climate, its land resources--agricultural land, forests, masrshes--and its water resources of lakes and rivers. We believe that respect and concern for our natural enviornment will benefit the economic development and cultural richness of our communities. RCSC welcomes participation from and joint efforts with local business people, government officials, educators, labor unions, churches, and individuals.
