(1) Manual Edits
Lara (FACILITATOR)
Emily, Kelley, Ada, Jen, Chris, Emily (1Sky), Joe
Editors Needed (only a few pages)
http://files.meetup.c...
We were able, though the help of Emeline, Eric, and Lara, to pull the entire manual together in an orderly form. Lara is leading this project and will send out BITE-SIZE SECTIONS of the manual for those to edit. I apologize to any of you that felt overwhelmed and promise you to ?hang in there? because Lara will only delegate 3-pages (at the most). [This manual is a guide for the DC Area on how to live more sustainably.]
