Seemingly born with a spirit of adventure, this Taos Pueblo woman joined the Women’s Army Corps during World War II and raised two children all in her brilliant but brief life.
Lois Rudnick and Mirabal’s son Jonathan Warm Day Coming have chronicled her legacy in “Eva Mirabal: Three Generations of Tradition and Modernity at Taos Pueblo” (Museum of New Mexico Press, 2021.)
Politics and the City: Advocates want more from Green Worcester Plan
WORCESTER The City Council last week tabled a report on the latest draft of the Green Worcester Plan.
But local environmental advocates didn t wait to give some feedback on the plan, which was developed over the past year with the goal of making Worcester one of the most sustainable and climate-resilient midsize cities in the U.S. by 2050.
Speakers Tuesday coupled praise for elements of the draft plan with criticism that it doesn t go far enough.
The Green Worcester Plan lays out sustainability goals across several sectors of city government, including green building, water management, emissions, waste and food resilience.
