I am a strong advocate of investments in sustainability for Columbia Heights. Over the last seven years as your city councilor, I have repeatedly requested Columbia Heights to set up a Sustainability Commission for our city. Well, good news! We now have a sustainability commission that began in the late fall of 2023! In the few short months since it’s activation, the commissioners on this important group have already worked on a sustainable purchasing policy, a complete streets policy, formed sub-committees to tackle invasive plants and to research sustainable intern programs, and they will be providing a section in our city newsletter to recommend sustainable practices that you can adopt in your day to day life.
I would like to hear about your ideas for how we can improve the sustainability of Columbia Heights. Please contact me and tell me what you think.
