To say that it has been awhile since we last updated the blog, is an understatement. I'm excited to be taking on this challenge and to bring our members and other visitors to this site a fresh look at environmental issues in the Triad. One thing I am really excited about is a new year-long initiative, The Piedmont Environmental Alliance Green Guide, that will roll out in the next few days (more info coming soon). Hopefully, you will join me here and learn some new things as well as enjoy the journey.

Call for Used Environmental Sustainability Books, Brochure Racks, etc.

The Winston-Salem Sustainability Resource Center with help from the Sierra Club is establishing a library of books, pamphlets, documents and other media. They are looking for donations of how-to books, environmental history or future directions books, and technical documents on greening of buildings, neighborhoods, and cities. In addition, they are looking for a few literature racks similar to those found in libraries and roadside rest stops. These will be available to local environmental groups for their information and meeting notices.
