Still time to take the Sustainability Survey, though not much time. Get your thoughts in before Earth Day!

Survey — Appleton Sustainability Master Plan Sustainability Survey

The official invite with valuable links and RSVP

Announcement of first PPN Meet, Great and Workshop Thank you to the many neighbors who completed the survey this winter. Your responses are already helping create a clearer picture of the talents, interests, and ideas that exist throughout our neighborhood.

So, first time I got pulled into the City of Appleton staff chili contest, and I’m glad I did! WOW, what a great batch of chilies, now I need to go lie down. Good luck chili makers!

Just a little over a week left to participate in the public survey that will shape the direction of the City’s future as outlined in the updated Comprehensive Plan.

For me, one critical missing component of a vibrant Downtown is the lack of any public or private dog parks. I’m pushing for the concept of a multi-faceted redesign of the Pierce Park ravine, including multi-track bike trails and a number of pet exercise areas. If you like this idea, please take the survey before Feb 1, and let the City know along with any other ideas you have to improve your quality of life.

Appleton Public Launch Survey Use this website to engage your community and serve as the home base for this initiative.

Did you know that it takes roughly 3-1/2 liters of non-replenishable water to produce a single plastic bottle? In the case of these small 355mL bottles of water, most of which were not entirely consumed, each required over ten times the amount of water to produce then they actually held!

If you live in Appleton, you know how good our water is… right out of the tap. And even if you think it needs more or prefer additional filtration it’s pretty easy and inexpensive these days to install an under-counter system.

So please, the night time you’re about to grab a pack of bottled water, consider using reusable water bottles instead (preferably stainless) and fill them up with some of the finest tap water around.
