Erik attended the Elgin Sustainability Commission meeting on March 8th. He efficiently reviews the long list of topics touched upon during that meeting. (albeit, not as efficiently as Tia did in the previous episode for the February meeting)

• Single-Use Bag Fee Review  
• Climate Action Plan for the Chicago Region & Elgin Sustainability Action Plan  
• Commissioner Survey  
• Native Demo Gardens & Eastside Neighborhood Gardens  
• Earth Month  
• Community Solar 
• City tree program 

After an exciting "lightening round" of commission topics, Erik and Tia tackle the issue of the Elgin Sustainability Commission's citizen engagement strategy of using workgroups.

Previously ardent advocates of workgroups, you may be surprised at where Erik and Tia come down on this issue and why.
