Rosalie
Anders is an environmental and transportation project manager for the
City of Cambridge. She has a master’s degree in social work and
was a family therapist for many years, doing peace and environmental
organizing in her spare time. On moving to Cambridge she switched careers
and became assistant director of Council for a Livable World, a national
nuclear arms control organization. Distressed about the then-proposed
Central Artery Project, she began working with Cambridge officials to
try to reduce its scale and mitigate its impacts, and when the city
began its environmental program she began working for Cambridge on pedestrian
issues. Cambridge joined Cities
for Climate Protection in 1999. Since then, she has focused much
of her attention on helping to create and carry out the city's Climate
Protection Plan.
