Community Feast and Forum, May 4th!


The next Community Feast and Forum
Friday, May 4, 6 p.m. in the Program Room.
FREE FILM: Planet Neighborhood, Part 1, “Home.” Co-hosted by the Telluride Institute, this program brings together visionaries of Telluride’s future to discuss ideas, eat organic, locally grown foods, and bring a sustainable future into being.

Planet Neighborhood is a 3 part series detailing sustainable initiatives. Homeowners, architects, builders and an inventor show how to use green technologies and innovative design to make change at the most local level of all: your house! Part 2 (shown in June) looks at the work environment, and Part 3 (shown in July) at the community level.
