Sat down with JRealtor (names changed to preserve confidentiality) and she seemed actively engaged to create a website for Syracuse that highlights sustainability info. Kind of a mishmash of "what can you do" coupled with "what's actually happening"...like Syracuse Grows and the largest raingarden in the Northeast USA located in the Near West Side neighborhood right next to Skiddy Park.
A hub is essential right now because we (Syracuse) don't have an externally focused space to discuss & display grassroots sustainability. Or a space to disseminate knowledge a la Sustainable Tompkins. We have a ton of groups working on that stuff (Alchemical Nursery, Creative Core NY, SUNY ESF, Syracuse Real Food Coop, Cornell Cooperative Extension, Partnership for Onondaga Creek, and so on) but we don't have a centralized resource. A Sustainable Syracuse would be ideal. Now we just have to build it. JRealtor is working on the website, who wants to write some content?
