About this Event
Environmental impact is often framed as a global problem with distant solutions. But in reality, many of the choices that shape our environment are made locally at City Hall, in neighborhood streets, and through everyday decisions about how we move around our city.
This one-hour community conversation with Terry McGuire, Roanoke City Council member, focuses on how local policies and priorities influence environmental outcomes right where we live. From reducing car dependence to making smarter, more financially resilient city decisions, the discussion centers on practical actions rather than abstract theory.
Terry will begin by sharing his background and what led him to run for City Council, followed by a guided conversation on how environmental responsibility shows up at the city and neighborhood level. The discussion will explore how transportation choices, land use, and incremental changes can reduce environmental impact while improving quality of life and fiscal health.
A significant portion of the event is reserved for audience questions, making this a true community dialogue rather than a lecture. Whether you’re deeply involved in local issues or simply curious about how everyday city decisions affect the environment, this conversation is designed to be accessible, honest, and grounded in real-world governance.
Come listen, ask questions, and take part in a thoughtful discussion on why environmental impact doesn’t start somewhere else it starts here.
