The Elgin Sustainability Commission met on Tuesday, May 9th, which was the day after Erik's 53rd birthday. (Note: Erik was devastated the commission didn't have a cake or sing to him or provide any birthday spankings). Regardless, he was thrilled to have the chance to cover the following issues:

• Mrs. Smith's students presentation about plastic pollution
• East Side Neighborhood Garden grant
• Elgin Native Roots funding
• July Special meeting to discuss budget issues
• GrowSolar Chicagoland group buy program
• paleBLUEdot's upcoming Waste Management online survey
• Workgroup reports
• Mikala Larson's resignation (Bye, Felicia)
