ore Information
There is an abundance of information and disinformation to sort
through, and by forming a CDG committee on sustainability, we
will be able to collectively research topics that are uniue to our
work. Said committee will provide the membership with a com-
prehensive examination of each issue, including possible ave-
nues for improvement. Lifting the burden of this research from
each of us individually will allow the membership to focus on im-
plementing whatever changes they can. This is an essential next
step toward making our work more sustainable, but none of this
will be possible without active membership support. Contact us
at SustainableCDGgmail.com to join or make suggestions.
