Serving the people of Evanston & Skokie, Illinois, since 1922.
Welcome!
The Evanston League is a non-partisan political organization with the rich history of voter and citizen education in the Evanston community.
Our members are women and men of every age, race, background, and political perspective who believe that informed citizens are the key to effective government.
In its Climate Action and Resilience Plan (CARP), the City of Evanston set a goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. One of the CARP goals is to “prioritize efforts to promote native landscaping and restoring and conserving habitat.”
This presentation Butterflies and Bees (via zoom– Feb 24, 2021) was jointly sponsored by the League of Women Voters of Evanston and Natural Habitat Evanston. It gives ideas to establish small pollinator gardens where you live. View this slide show to learn about the plants that serve as host plants and nectar plants for pollinators.
Our Climate Action committee has spotlighted more helpful information on ways to reduce Individuals' carbon footprint by at least 5000 pounds by May 31, 2021. Read the Carbon Diet Sampler, and take the Carbon Diet Pledge. Watch a recorded presentation of Drinks & Dialogue: Reducing Your Carbon Footprint on YouTube.
