Erik Eisenberg for Constable, New Canaan 2007
Erik Eisenberg grew up in New Canaan, attending local public schools and participating
in various community activities:
- Boy Scout
- Waveny Care Center volunteer
- Election poll watcher
- New Canaan Library volunteer and employee
His interest in social and environmental issues was
expanded by attending Tufts University in Medford, Mass., including a year abroad in
Tübingen, Germany. In order to better understand the similarities and differences
between German and American culture, he moved to Hannover, Germany in the Summer of
2004. As a Constable for New Canaan, Erik hopes to serve the local community as an
international liaison, sharing transportation and environmental ideas between the two
countries.
The USA and Germany could learn a lot from each other. For example,
Germany could study the US system of public libraries, and how in America people
from different backgrounds can live together peacefully. On the other hand, the USA
could examine some of Germany's many environmental and safety innovations, such as
sidewalk- level bike paths.
