Environment Committee
The Environment Committee encourages and supports all residents who want to organize environmental actions and initiatives. Everyone is welcome including youth, renters, businesses, people who work or school in Seward, diverse communities and the elders of our community.
What we work on together
We meet monthly and organize special activities; people participate at varying levels. Our focus tends to be local, exploring ways to reduce our waste and carbon footprint, improving habitat for pollinators, and protecting our air and water.
Zero Waste
Hosting events and programming to educate and encourage neighborhood participation in Zero Waste practices.
Transportation
Engaging conversation with neighbors about car emissions to promote more eco-friendly roadways and transportation in Minneapolis.
Home Energy
Collaborating with home owners and renters to provide resources for reducing their carbon footprint at home.
Join us
Can you, by yourself, do much to protect the environment? We need major changes at the level of government policy and officials, and changes in corporate profit incentives. We in Seward have a long history of community engagement, enjoying and working with our neighbors.
Join us for a Meeting
The Environment Committee meets on the 4th Thursday of the month at Matthews Park Center at 6:30 pm. In November, the group meets on the 3rd Thursday due to Thanksgiving. No meeting in December. All are welcome!
