By Rich Haag, Catawba River District Communications
Eight of us have come together to blog about themes essential
to healthy and vibrant communities. Our focus is the Catawba River District on
the northwest edge of Charlotte, NC. Our ideas, however, will help all who
would nurture a place on Planet Earth where people can thrive now and a century
from now.
Who are we?
Some of us are experts. One of us might be a dog! All of us
have a passion for our topics and love to share what we have learned with
people like you. Read the author profiles on this site to learn more about us.
Read our posts over the coming months to learn much more!
What will we offer you?
Each day one of us will share ideas about his or her special
interest:
- We’ll celebrate the beauty of the Catawba River while confronting the grave threats to its health – and ours.
- We’ll explore the benefits and difficulties of growing our food and buying it locally.
- We’ll look at ways to nurture our local businesses and walkable village centers.
And we’ll cover much more, as you will soon discover.
What can YOU offer us?
