Lynda Aiman-SmithJune 8, at 10:00 am, 3845 North Swan Street – "Buy Nothing New…is Nothing New"
Lynda Aiman-Smith and Krista Joslin-Gay will give a brief overview of various movements like simple living, voluntary simplicity, and buying nothing new.
"In 2013 two friends in the Pacific Northwest decided they could work together to build a neighborhood network with the goal of passing along items to each other. Their goal was to enable the larger neighborhood to Buy Less and Share More. Now in 2025, there are Buy Nothing gift economy groups around the globe, with over 7.5 million members. The
internet has made it much easier for members to ask and to give items in these local gift economies," Aiman-Smith said.

SANTA FE – Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham today signed an executive order to expand the Dolly Parton Imagination Library program, ensuring every New Mexico child from birth to age five has access to free monthly books delivered to their home.
Loren and Barbara Nelson began the Imagination Library program in New Mexico in Silver City. They continued to spread it throughout the state and had it in all counties before they retired and moved back to their home state. It still goes strong in Grant County.

Silver City -- Silver City residents are being asked to provide input into the town's new housing plan, which is currently in the process of being reviewed and updated, and is an important step toward addressing the shortage of affordable housing, which impedes economic vitality. Housing needs identified in the plan thus far, for example, show that some 25% of people employed in Silver City are commuting 50 miles or more to work each day, at least in part because they can't afford to live closer to their place of employment. Others say they would live in Silver City if they could afford it, and many current renters could afford to own housing if it were available.
The 2025 housing plan will guide local policies related to housing for the next decade, and it's development is being directed by Town Councilors Nicholas Prince and Stan Snider, the Planning and Zoning Commission, Assistant Town Manager Jacqui Olea, and community development staff. The town also contracted with Sites Southwest, an Albuquerque-based planning and consulting firm known for its work with municipalities, to help guide the process. Residents are asked to complete a brief, online survey by copying and pasting the following address into their internet browser: https://www.menti.com/alnbv92w1wds.
