Sustainable Capitol Hill to stage sustainability fest
By Doug Schwartz
Say the word sustainability and what comes to mind? Recycling, perhaps. Energy-efficient lightbulbs. Maybe reducing one's carbon footprint. With a focus of coming together and sharing ideas on the subject, Sustainable Capitol Hill formed 18 months ago with a goal of increasing community understanding.More than a rhetorical concern, the group will stage Imagine Capitol Hill: A Sustainability Festival, its first large event, on Sunday, July 20. The event, which takes place next to the Broadway Sunday Farmers Market, is expected to draw between 1,000 and 2,000 people.Inspired by the region's growing sustainability movement, Sustainable Capitol Hill took form when Gabriel Scheer, Brennon Staley and a few of their friends starting meeting casually at the North Hill Bakery to talk about sustainability, the environment and green issues.
