Episode 3 features Lynn Rothman, chair of the city of Bethlehem’s Environmental Advisory Council, and Ian Kindle, chair of the city of Easton’s Environmental Advisory Council. We discussed the EAC’s role as a link between city government and residents, the wide range of projects each EAC is working on, and what someone who is interested might expect at their first EAC meeting.

More about the CREATE Connections Project

Welcome to the CREATE Connections podcast! This podcast centers on the idea that no matter what roles you hold - elected official, parent, volunteer, student, or other - you are a crucial part of climate action in your community. We are all impacted by climate change and other environmental hazards, and we all have strengths and resources we can bring to make our community more resilient.

We will “CREATE Connections” as we interview a variety of guests to explore how they have found their place in the network of people and organizations working to build healthy, sustainable, resilient, people-centered places to live and work. Along the way, we will highlight opportunities for listeners to take action and form new connections throughout our region!
