The San Diego Sustainable Community Program Presents

San Diego Youth Forum

"Charting a Path Toward a Sustainable Future"

City of San Diego Environmental Services Department

SATURDAY March 29, 2003

10:30 AM to 3:00 PM

Students!

This is a great opportunity to voice your priorities about the future of San Diego. Your decisions about consumption patterns, resource use, and how to vote will have a huge impact on this region. And what if you move out of San Diego? Wherever you go, you can make a difference, and it is up to you to decide if it will be positive or negative.

Join us for the San Diego Youth Forum on Saturday, March 29, 2003 from

10:30 to 3pm at the Ridgehaven Green Building in Kearny Mesa. We will have speakers, activities, and, let's not forget, lunch!

Interested? Then reply by e-mail to Tom Arnold at TArnold@sandiego.gov, or fax the attached form to 858-492-5021. We look forward to seeing you!

If you decide to attend, check out the background information and fill out the survey.
