[Imc-litbl] A sustainable future for LITBL

[Pauline Bartolone]

Sustainability advocates,

Life in the Bike Lane needs a new organization for the new year to ensure 
that it continues in a reliable, less confusing manner.

I will be leaving the country in the beginning of March, and we need to talk 
about how the structure will change and how the show will keep going.

The programming committee at WEFT wants to meet with me in January to talk 
about how LITBL is going, and how it will pan out in the future.

Let's have another general meeting to talk about stuff. If people can't come 
to the meeting, it would be wonderful if people coudl put in their two cents 
over email.

Is Tuesday the 15th a good day for people? at 7 pm? I can send out an email 
to the IMC and WEFT list with people's go ahead.

Is there at least one person who is interested in being the correspondant 
with the programming committee when I leave, and can be responsible 
generating steam to produce LITBL?

Here are some ideas for better organization that we can talk aobut at the 
next meeting:

At WEFT, there will be two minidiscs for LITBL, one for timely news, and the 
other for evergreens, to be used when a weekly piece isn't produced. This 
way, it is ensured that a LITBL is aired every week, even when a producer 
falls through.

On the evergreen disc, the airshifter marks when an evergreen is played, so 
that a piece isn't played too often.

If possible, LITBL producers commit to a making a piece at a designated time 
every couple of months (i.e.every 6th week). If the producer can't produce 
something for that week, than an evergreen will be played.

The following show ideas have either audio already, or an easily accessible 
source for audio. The ones with a star can be evergreens. Any more 
suggestions?:

*-Yurt (sustainable building) behind the school for designing a society
*-Wetlands as a means to purify greywater
-Peotone airport
*-Bike Lanes on Green street
*-Renewable energy in IL
-Is the CATS plan really affective? Assessment of goals, etc
*-Top 10 bike routes in C-U
*-IL Fair Trade Camapign
-Drilling in alaska
*-War and oil
*-Donald Crummey talk on Global Environmentalism
-Cyanide use in metallic mining
*-Food irradiation
-The Smithfield Food Monopoly


That's it for now. Lemme know if the 15th is good for a general meeting.

Thanks, Pauline
