CitiesGoGreen - Promotional Issue - (Page 1)

From the Editor Magazine & Interactive Website Monthly 50+ page multi-media magazine Print or digital edition Interactive website Welcome to regular issue will appear in September, 2008, at 50+ pages. Digital subscriptions are free if you work for or are elected or appointed to a position in any government entity, including special districts, anywhere in the world. Our focus is North America, with an eye for good ideas worldwide. If you’re interested in bringing sustainability to your area of responsibility, we’re on the same page. We’ll be looking into how local governments are creating sustainability, how it could happen better, and sharing the best answers. With free digital publication for those in government, everyone can be involved in the conversation. The CitiesGoGreen website is designed for discussion and commentary, and as an ongoing place to share ideas. I invite you to visit and take part. Our reasoning is this: we need to do everything we can to change course toward living sustainably; all of us together know enough to do it or figure out how; and cities are just the right size to do the job. Cities (and counties) are nimble enough to change, big enough to matter and can serve as local laboratories for identifying the best strategies and policies. Our aim is to help everyone stay current with those and other new developments, insights, technologies, and events. So our focus is local government: cities, counties and special districts. We’ll find and share the best ideas and resources with our subscribers (I hope that will include you). Together we can speed a more rapid transition to sustainability. Every issue includes a conversation with a mayor who is leading the way. It’s Dan Pike of Bellingham, WA in this issue. The complete conversation, with your comments if you’d like to add them, is online. Each issue has a theme connecting to ongoing discussions online where we explore the realities of making change. We’ll be pooling our knowledge and building shared resources. If that sounds interesting, join us.
