From Mark Niedergang, Ward 5 Alderfolk, newsletter:

Sunday, February 28, 5 PM, the Armory, 191 Highland Ave -- Please join me for a screening and discussion of the film, "This Changes Everything" sponsored by Fossil Free Somerville, Mothers Out Front, Somerville Climate Action, and State Rep Denise Provost. "This Changes Everything" is a powerful look at how communities around the world are facing the challenge of climate change. It's a chance to learn what we can do here in Somerville and Massachusetts to make a difference.

There was a terrific turnout for this. Great to see so many neighbors are working on these issues--the sponsors were talking about the various projects they have been engaged with, and it's quite a range. But they had to add more chairs because so many interested attendees were there as well.

The city has also recently produced a Greenhouse Gas Inventory, if you are interested in something wonky of that sort. You can access it here: http://www.somervillema.gov/sustainaville/blog/ . Oliver Sellers-Garcia, Director of Sustainability and Environment for the city, described the report as a way to assess our biggest contributors to greenhouse gasses, and also noted that there's a separate project now to evaluate the best ways to reduce these contributors.
