The Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors is seeking three volunteers for the county’s sustainability commission.
The commission consists of 12 members and five alternates. There’s one vacant at-large member seat currently available, as well as two alternate seats.
They’re looking for an environmental justice advocate who lives in a “frontline” or disadvantaged community to fill the at-large seat. The alternate seats are reserved for residents of District 3, represented by
Supervisor Diane Burgis, or District 5, represented by Supervisor Federal Glover.
Meetings are infrequent, with only three scheduled for the remainder of 2019. They take place on the fourth Monday of February, April, June, August, October and December — and the next meeting is scheduled for
Monday, Aug. 26.
Applications, which are available online at https://www.contracosta.ca.gov/3418/, are due by 5 p.m., Monday, Sept. 16.

And what, pray tell, does this commission do? I have degrees in marine and fisheries biology and know a little about “sustainability”, but that applies to ecological situations. Then again, we humans are biological entities, and it would be good if we managed our population for long term sustainability, rather than allowing this exponential growth that will be the death of the species. Guaranteed, folks! So, if this commission is meant to address the problems created by our reproductive success, I should apply.
I’d vote for you just for critical thinking skilz alone. Is that on the list of qualifications? It might frighten our supervisors.
John P, I agree. We seem to have an infrastructure in the world that was made for a population of 2 billion and at best 4 billion and yet we almost have double that. I’m not sure why the millennial parents I see these days would even be having children who probably won’t have much of a future. Of course one large volcano blowing it’s stack might solve the problem.
@John P. You seem more than qualified, but my guess is they want someone who breeds like rabbits
Actually, where leadership by the Contra Costa Board of Supervisors is concerned, we all live in “disadvantaged” communities.
I agree! More importantly, any purveyor of socialism should level the playing field by reducing the salaries and perks of city management, in order to lessen the disadvantaged experience.
“Environmental justice advocate”
Think about that.
Must be sorta like a “Community organizer.””
So, they are looking for a crazy poor person?
