UVA hosted the Second Annual Sustainability Symposium waaaaaaaay back on April 20. Sure that was a long time ago (an entire month, right?), but it was just so great that we're still not over it. The Symposium was kind of like the kick-off to the Indian Summer. That's when it all became official. We had the AWESOME opportunity to talk to lots of amazing people: from county and city workers, to representatives of Aramark (UVA's dining services), to really excited community members who had great ideas and suggestions for us (like the idea that we can have people pledge with the Indian Summer!). Our main goal in participating in the symposium was to meet people and start talking about our ideas. That's where the Indian Summer is at right now: we just kind of came up with this idea out of nowhere, and we're really looking for information and support from the community! So, if you have any ideas, comment on the blog, or shoot an email to indiansummercville@gmail.com and let us know what you think!
Peace, love, & everything local.
