Spring 2006: Megan O’Hara connects HOBT with On the Commons, a group of activists organized to raise perception of the Commons as a way of inspiring bi-partisan participation in creating a healthy world. On the Commons (OTC) becomes a partner with Invigorate the Common Well.

O’Hara also invites Spieler and Kathee Foran of HOBT to share the ideas of Invigorate the Common Well with Mayor RT Rybak. Spieler and Foran suggest City participation as a way to heighten awareness of Minneapolis’s new membrane water filtration plant, as a way to end the proliferation of plastic water bottles, and as a way to return Minneapolis’s name as the City of Water to an honest place of water stewardship and honoring of our rich privilege of lakes and the Mississippi River.
