Simply Living Stories

Sandra Steingraber's writings have changed my life and the life of many of my friends....She is not a downer! - Julie Koontz, Simply Living member

If you are excited about being part of the shift to a more sustainable community, this course is for you! Identify a change you'd like to help make happen in your workplace, faith community, child's school, neighborhood, or even your family, then begin to plan and implement it with a supportive group of people.

A new Menu for the Future class, the very popular Earth Institute discussion course, will be offered on Tuesdays at the Griswold Senior Center, Worthington.

Learn how you make a difference in creating and supporting sustainable food systems. Gain insights into agricultural and individual practices that promote personal and ecological well-being. Make links between your food choices, your health, and the health of our environment!

Earth Institute Discussion Groups are awesome... But which one to choose? Simply Living wants to help you with this dilemma - now you can hear from real people who have taken the courses! Come to an intro on Tuesday, July 6th at 7 p.m. at the new Simply Living office, 2350 Indianola Ave. in the Maynard Ave United Methodist Church. Ask questions and bring a friend to sign up with you!
