Today is the first day that the Sustainability blog is being included in the City's Twitter updates so I've included the first installment of the Sustainability Blog from June 2009 to give new readers an idea of where this came from. I hope you enjoy!

G'day people! My name is John Coleman, Sustainability Director, for the City of Fayetteville, Arkansas. I've been charged with blogging about the various sustainability efforts that are ongoing within our municipal operations, the city, country and planet.

I get a ton of great emails, videos, links, etc every week describing a wide range of eco-friendly endeavors. Everything from increasing bee populations through native plant species to federal tax credits for greening your home. And we're doing some pretty cool things at the City level worth sharing as well.

Hopefully, this blog will be informative and somewhat entertaining at the same time. Please do not hesitate to send a comment or ask questions along the way. I'll do my best to keep up. Looking forward to it!
