Learn about sustainability in Juneau’s visitor industry April 18

The next Sustainability Session is on “Sustainability in Juneau’s Visitor Industry.” The session is taking place on Thursday, April 18 at 5:30 p.m. in City Hall Chambers. Sustainability Sessions are sponsored by the Juneau Commission on Sustainability, an advisory committee of the City and Borough of Juneau Assembly.

During the session, representatives from Juneau’s visitor industry will explain how they approach and think about sustainability issues, like overcrowding and air emissions.
