Conservation Lobby Day
Wednesday, February 29th • 8:30 am - 4:00 pm at Missouri State Capitol Building, Jefferson City, MOEach year, Missourians gather at the State Capitol to make help educate legislators on the importance of smart environmental policy. From environmentalists, scientists, students and business-owners to hunters, anglers and farmers, this is an important opportunity to share your passion for the environment and have a big impact on environmental policies affecting Missouri.
We’ll set up small group meetings with legislators, train you on the “how to’s” of citizen lobbying, and provide you with a delicious local/organic lunch. You’ll have the opportunity to experience first-hand how policy-making works and voice your support of green building, local food, clean water, and state parks.
Conservation Lobby Day is a partnership of the Missouri Conservation and Environmental Alliance, a statewide coalition organizations working together to bring a common voice to the conservation and environmental community in Jefferson City.

GOOD Ideas for Cities
Thursday, March 8th • 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm at Contemporary Art Museum of St. LouisGOOD Ideas for Cities taps creative problem-solvers to tackle real urban challenges and present their solutions at live events across the country. Thanks to our partnership with CEOs for Cities and a generous grant from ArtPlace, we're taking the program to five mid-sized cities in 2012. If you're in St. Louis, here's how you can be a part of it:
Last year, we issued a call for creatives in St. Louis, and chose seven teams to represent the city. Each team was issued a challenge proposed by local urban leaders. At the event, the creative teams will present their solutions to their assigned challenge, and the urban leaders will join them onstage for a brief Q&A. Afterwards, join us for drinks and more conversation as we discuss how to make these ideas a reality for St. Louis.
