Reflecting on 2007: Headlines from CNT
2007 was a busy year for CNT – with implementation of new programs and expansion of existing ones, research and reporting, and lots of planning for the future in the year of our 30th anniversary! As we prepare for a new and exciting year, we wanted to also reflect on our successes this past year. With your support, in 2008 we can continue to work to make environmental and economic sustainability a reality in Chicago and across the country.
