                                                Announcement 
The Edgewater Environmental Sustainability Project (EESP) approved the following resolution: 
    "Edgewater Environmental Sustainability Project supports and encourages the activity of the      Illinois Green Caucus to implement the actions associated with the Paris Accords."
This vote endorses efforts to ensure that the State of Illinois will carry out the changes associated with the Paris Accords even though the United States, on the federal level, has announced its withdrawal from the Accords.  It is important to note by declaring its adherence to the Accords, Illinois is protecting current and future generations from the effects of the pollutants and emissions which not only have an adverse affect on health but scientists agree is the cause global warming.  ___________________

Tree Canopy Protection as Development Ramps Up
The  East Andersonville Residents Council (EARC) has corresponded with the Alderman and requested support from EESP. More specifics will be discussed at the July EESP meeting. The initial focus is on the protection of the 1430 Berwyn historic elm, but they will also address the broader concern of protecting habitat and natural space as development occurs. In addition, the EARC draft includes proposed ordinance examples which provide a legal framework for protection of green space
