The Elgin Sustainability Commission met on Tuesday, June 13th, which marked the first time in recent  years they were without a city staff liaison present to help guide their deliberations. Oddly, this might have been one of the quickest meetings in recent history. LOL This was also Sustainability Commissioner Christ Flaherty's last meeting as a commissioner. 
  
In this episode, Tia & Erik talk about the following issues discussed at the commission's June meeting:

• Elgin Area Climate Action Now's (EACAN) presentation about the connection between waste/recycling management and climate change (and more importantly what they are asking the commission to do about it)
• RFPs, consultants, and various plans the commission is trying to undertake (e.g. climate action plan, mobility/transportation plan, sustainability action plan)
• The mysteriously missing greenhouse gas inventory report
• Farewell to Commissioner Chris Flaherty
