In an effort to get more people involved in addressing global warming at the local level, the Menlo Park Green Ribbon Citizens Committee will now hold evening meetings.
The committee, starting Wednesday, Sept. 5, will hold meetings from 6:30 to 8:45 p.m. in the basement of the Menlo Park Library, at 800 Alma Street. The group usually meets on alternate Wednesdays, and previous meetings started at 4 p.m.
The scheduling change was made to accommodate residents that want to address global warming, but may not be able to get off work by 4 p.m., said Chris Bui, a member of the committee’s coordinating team.
