Columbus Residents are working to ensure safe drinking water, clean air, and safe soil in the City of Columbus.

There are 13 injection wells in the Columbus Area water supply, where radioactive and toxic liquid waste from unconventional natural gas extraction (shale gas, hydrofracking), is being injected into the earth, with great potential for migration into our water supply.  

We start with an icebreaker topic for conversation and then move to an open discussion. Our agenda is always open but in general we discuss life and living beyond religious belief.

The Accessible Transportation Advisory Committee (ATAC) advises the Central Ohio Transit Authority (COTA) on matters pertaining to accessible transportation.

Simply Living continues many of our programs (socials, films, Earth Institute courses) but in recent years we have created new initiatives like our Transition Hub, our Local Economy Coalition, and our emerging “Simply Living University” that plans to centralize the many workshops and training opportunities related to sustainability. We’re calling it “Sustainable U.” So this “Meet Simply Living” gathering is for anyone interested in learning about our work, and we think it will be fun, too, for current and former members, to get acquainted with how we are changing through our new projects.

This month’s program: “The Culture and Politics of Pay and Gender”
