Big  Picture  Meeting  |  March  18,  2010  Comments    First  time  and  I’m  impressed  about  each  team’s  ideas  and  intentions.  I  like  the  idea  of  garden  sharing;  locating  places  and  yards  that  can  be  used;  providing  or  gardening  in  the  school  yards  for  food;  and  supporting  local  neighborhood  businesses.    The  visions,  goals,  indicators  could  have  been  printed  out  on  posters.    Missing  topics:  local  business  engagement/goals;  Land  Use.      It  seems  like  rethinking  the  core  groups  to  avoid  overlap  and  divide  up  the  larger  topics  (infrastructure,  for  example).    For  example,  a  group  on  composting,  a  group  on  permeable  surfaces,  transportation,  water  quality.      First  time  to  the  meeting.  Very  impressed  with  the  level  of  organization,  and  depth  of  knowledge  and  excitement.      First  meeting.    Great  meeting,  well  organized,  unique  and  fun!  Impressed  with  keeping  the  speakers  to  time  limits  “7-­‐9”  perfect.    I  joined  the  Energy  Team!
